Huge Spoilers for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

Trigger Warning: Death

Today we talk about Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, a game that swept us off our feet and we fell in love with. We might be mourning the end of this game and using this pod as therapy. We chat about Kiryu and where he is in life in terms of Life Stages, and then discuss how Ichiban’s resilience and positivity gets him through every hardship. After we’re done gushing about this game, we chat about what else we’ve been playing!

Games we played: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Alan Wake Remastered
