Who doesn't love a big swing, a bold new direction, especially when so many video game publishers seem increasingly determined to walk the safest route?

AI Summary

Stranger Than Heaven, the latest third‑person action title from RGG’s Yakuza studio, follows Makoto Daito, a half‑American, half‑Japanese man trying to build a life in Japan. The game’s narrative stretches across multiple decades, letting players witness the country’s evolution while blending a strong story thread with striking melee combat and occasional silliness. Although its gameplay feels familiar to fans of the studio’s Like a Dragon series, the preview highlights it as a bold new direction for the developers.
