Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s output is possessed by a fighting spirit. Across the Yakuza series, RGG’s most beloved property, there has been no shortage of scraps, brawls, melees, scuffles, and fights for Kiryu, his allies, and foes. Even now, as the studio branches into other worlds and franchises like Virtua Fighter, it cannot help but come back to that vicious and elegant pugnacity. Its latest, Stranger Than Heaven, is just as driven by this call to conflict and violence.
