Great news, you can now experience Yakuza: Infinite Fortune for yourself upon its release! Make sure you don’t check out the DLC packs on offer or you might lose interest.
Don’t worry, the vast majority of people who have delved into the game or left a review before doing so (just for the record, if that’s you, you’re kind of weird) seem to agree with our very valid point that, Kasuga Ichiban’s latest RPG adventure comes at a good time. That said, the DLC offered by Infinite Fortune seems to be the main reason for the inconsistent conclusion, and I can definitely see where people are coming from.

As one user discovered on the Yakuza subreddit, although of the 1,000 or so Infinite Fortune reviews currently left on Steam (as of this writing), the majority (actually about 90%) are positive , but almost all of the reviews are negative and have nothing to do with the game itself, but how RGG handles the add-ons you can get. Of course, many reviews mentioned dissatisfaction with the New Game Plus mode being locked behind a paywall, but its day-one DLC lineup also received a lot of criticism.
Some players have likened the lengthy list of items on offer to a “McDonald’s menu board”, with it costing you £137.37/$158.81 if you were to buy all 19 items, mainly because it offers several different enhancements from Kasuga Everything from character statistics to party member job levels.
Now, before we continue, it’s important to acknowledge that many of the packs and bundles that make up this list are simply add-ons that come with the Ultimate and Deluxe editions of the game, which means you may already own some of them, depending on which one you purchased Which version is it. That said, it’s not the extra costumes and work that turn off most people, but the array of options RGG offers for booster packs designed to save you some trouble.
As we mentioned in our review, Infinite Fortune, while still annoying at times, doesn’t have the same shocking difficulty spikes as Yakuza: Like a Dragon , so the game’s balance doesn’t seem set to be. Push people to buy these optional assistants. However, do we really need four different versions of an “upgrade set” for your team (each with a separate price point commensurate with its strength), or three different versions of a “self-boost set”?
To put it into context, Yakuza: Like a Dragon currently offers six DLCs, most of which add extra jobs or extra costumes rather than just boosters.
So I think people have every right to express some sadness at Sega’s handling of Infinite Wealth’s DLC.
