Like a Dragon: Ishin is now available on PC for Digital Deluxe owners, and we thought it was an excellent entry in the series. Since this is an Unreal Engine 4 title, there are a few technical issues, like shader compilation stutter and such. Though, if you’re running into any Like a Dragon Ishin controller issues, here is how you can fix those.

PlayStation Users PSA: Use a Wired Connection
