Yes, I played Yakuza: Like A Dragon. In fact, I even shared this with you a few years ago when I sought out video game suggestions for my then-new PlayStation 5: What Games Should I Buy for my PlayStation 5? - #8 by RayMan. It was that thread where you recommended Persona 5 Royal to me, @Mahaloth (which was an excellent recommendation, by the way).
I absolutely love both Yakuza: Like A Dragon and its sequel, Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
Yakuza: Like A Dragon (hereinafter “Y:LAD”) is a turn-based JRPG, which is my favorite genre of video game. It has an incredible sense of humor, just a very funny video game. The game draws inspiration from the Dragon Quest video game franchise; they mention this in the game itself. In the game, each character has a “job,” which is just a modern take on RPG player classes.
The game is a big departure from the mainline Yakuza video game franchise. The other Yakuza games are more action beat-em-up. Y:LAD is a big departure from the main franchise, and you absolutely not need to have played or know anything about the Yakuza franchise to enjoy Y:LAD. It’s got a great story and very, very likable characters.
I love the game and strongly recommend it.
