Like A Dragon: Ishin‘s teasers had peaked, but no, my heart still swells at an alarming rate. And that’s thanks to a new trailer where Kiryu/Ryoma drop (kicks) his bruising samurai lifestyle to the side for a simpler, purer existence: chopping spring onions to a rhythm in what looks to be an in-depth farming side activity.

Hylics games are some of the prettiest around, with their striking mix of claymation and video capture. So I’m delighted to realise that, unbeknowst to me, creator Mason Lindroth occasionally give behind-the-scenes peeks at props and animations on Twitter.
