In an era where blockbusters can take more than half a decade to ship, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio pumps out crime-ridden games in the Like A Dragon/Yakuza/Judgement series at an unbelievably fast rate. What's its secret? Iterative game design, apparently.
RGG Studio is beloved for following one storyline across several games and returning to familiar locations again and again. Series icon Kazuma Kiryu has been resurrected for just one more beatdown more times than I can count - to the point that he's reached graying age and is now facing a terminal cancer diagnosis in this year's excellent Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
