Some titles, like "Kurohyou: Ryu ga Gotoku Shinshou" (Black Panther) for the PSP, were never released in the West. Fan-made ROM patches are the only way for English speakers to enjoy these hidden gems.

Since "Like a Dragon ROM" typically refers to the most recent mainline entry in the series (often searched by those looking to emulate the game on PC via Steam Deck or Yuzu/Ryujinx), this review focuses on (Yakuza: Like a Dragon 8). It is the direct sequel to Yakuza: Like a Dragon and the final chapter of the Kazuma Kiryu saga.
