The value story
The lowest price on record is $12.49, set in August 2026. It has been discounted 24 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 65 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 5 weeks ago. $12.41 is what it would take to make this a BANGER, and nothing in its history goes that low.
Value puts it in the top 6 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth ($69.99, scores 67) beats it on value, while it beats Like a Dragon: Ishin! ($39.99, scores 48).
10 of the 707 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2023 to August 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,814 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 2,386 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 87 percent of the 263 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 3 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 12.6 hours. Doing everything runs 33, 2.6 times as long.
At 12.6 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

The combat is also a lot of fun, and the...
Only 5 chapters but not too short. 100% this game might be the easiest so far. There is 1 reason I don't like about this game is the combat, even with the mod Remix and Dragon God on, it still feel limited compared to the other. And how come I can't use Tiger Drop!?
Special agent Kir... I mean Joryu to the rescue! Released in 2023, Like a Dragon Gaiden Infinite Wealth is another spin off of Yakuza series. Unlike Judgment and Lost Judgment, which have their own story arc that's completely separate from the regular Yakuza storyline, you could consider this more like... an epilogue of Yakuza 6 Song of Life... Or like a prologue to Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth. In any case, our...
