★ An RPG like no other

Yakuza: Like a Dragon

Staff Pick

Yakuza: Like a Dragon was one of the best games of the year when it released in 2020. Sega and Ryu Ga Gotaku studios took a huge risk with this one — taking the hard-boiled crime drama of the Yakuza games and reimagining it as a turn-based RPG. The result is one of the over-the-top and ridiculous gaming experiences I've ever enjoyed. It perfectly balances the raw, brutal crime underworld with the silly antics that the franchise is known for.

The best JRPGs on the cloud

These are some of the best JRPGs available on Xbox Cloud Gaming. While most of these can be played with touch controls, to get the most out of your game time, you'll want a dedicated game controller for your Apple device. While the definition of JRPG has transformed over the years, the aesthetic and stories are still as epic as they've always been. Our top choice is Yakuza: Like a Dragon, an entry in the Yakuza series that transforms the streets of Kamurocho into a full-blown RPG adventure. It's just like a Dragon Quest game!

But for those who actually want to play Dragon Quest, Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition is the game to play. Featuring hundreds of hours of classic Dragon Quest gameplay, a story full of twists and turns, and a remarkable cast of characters, Dragon Quest XI will not disappoint fans or newcomers to the series.
