I just wanted to check out Like a Dragon: Ishin! for a bit because it's on Playstation Plus and now it's 3 hours later and I'm hooked. It's really good - the perfect mix of a story-driven RPG set in the Late Edo period, cinematic cutscenes and plenty of drama, satisfying combat, unique combat styles, meaningful skill progression and a MonsterHunter-like weapon crafting system. And a huge variety of cool side quests and activities.

It's a joy to play and what's really cool is there is a context-button for dialogues, so you can learn a lot about the background of Sakamoto Ryōma, a real historical figure and samurai, who dreamt of an independent Japan without feudalism:

It's hard to stop playing, but I'll have to put this on hold for a bit and finish Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty first :blobcatcomfygamer:

Here's a good review:
