The Like a Dragon series (formerly known as Yakuza) has existed for nearly two decades, and behind it stands Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, a team within SEGA that has managed to create one of the most unique and entertaining series in the industry. Their work is characterized by a distinctive blend of serious crime drama and absolute madness.

Assassin's Creed Shadows starts with a desert warrior, a Spartan, a Viking, and a ninja who walk into a bar. They order drinks and reminisce about the good old days—conquering cities, charging into battlefields, and raiding monasteries.
