It\u2019s a strange week when the announcement of Counter-Strike 2 is the highlight. We had a lot of interesting news from GDC, and peeks at upcoming games like Redfall and a TMNT game adaptation of The Last Ronin. <\/p>\n

But I\u2019ve been in a mood to talk about games themselves. So indulge me while I talk about a title that got eclipsed when Resident Evil 4 Remake<\/a> dropped into my lap: Like A Dragon: Ishin! I returned to playing the game after RE4R and have a few thoughts about it.<\/p>\n

Ishin takes place in Bakumatsu-era Japan, and follows a fictionalized telling of real ronin Ryoma Sakamoto. He, like every other character in the story, is \u201cplayed\u201d by a character from the mainline Like a Dragon (formerly known as Yakuza) series \u2014 in Ryoma\u2019s case, he\u2019s played by longtime series hero Kazuma Kiryu. As per usual in this series, you have a serious main story about revenge and societal justice, offset by wacky side activities and funny NPCs. There\u2019s even a whole in-game life-sim side quest where Ryoma buys a house and starts a farm for no particular reason.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t get enough time with the game before starting RE4R to pass judgement. I\u2019m still working on finishing, but I have enjoyed my time with it. I would easily recommend it to fans of the series. <\/p>\n

Ishin! has the same silly, charming fun as the rest of the series. It\u2019s just a bit strange to me that we time-traveled centuries into the past and one of the first things the game does is give Kiryu a gun. The whole blacksmithing subquest was needless busywork, but I still enjoyed the game and give it a thumbs-up.<\/p>\n

In addition to more of Ishin!, I\u2019ll also be working on a third run-through of Resident Evil 4 Remake \u2014 let\u2019s see if I can make it on Professional mode. I\u2019ll also check out Tchia, if only because I feel like I must see what the new day-one launch on PlayStation Plus is like. It feels like we\u2019ve already had several good releases this year, and I look forward to the Star Wars\/Zelda one-two punch that\u2019s coming in just a few weeks.<\/p>\n
