Quick Review
Infinite Wealth is a mechanical improvement over its predecessor let down only a little by a story that gets a little flaky in the back half. Seeing what may be the end of Kazama Kiryu's journey and his memories from across the games hit hard, but I'm not sure Ichiban's journey felt quite as impactful.
Many of the little complaints from the first game—likely a result of being Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's first turn-based roleplaying game—have been ironed out. I particularly liked the addition of skipping fights that are too easy for you. More games should do this!
Like all the other Yakuza games, Infinite Wealth has a silly amount of side content. Dondoko Island is an Animal-Crossing-esque highlight. I ended up completing everything I could within one playthrough (including the DLC dungeon), but I did not feel compelled to complete a legendary NG+ playthrough. I may return at a later date.
Is it Worth Playing?
Yes; it's a rock solid JRPG in an unusual setting.
👍👍
Loot for the Hoard:
354,389,918 yen, from one very complete playthrough.
