Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution

Is it perfect? Not even close. Is it exactly what I was looking for to scratch that Yu-Gi-Oh itch, so I didn't have to spend money on cards I would play with for a week and then stick in a box? Absolutely. All the modern Yu-Gi-Oh mechanics are there, and it'll ease you into them one by one. So if the last time you played the TCG was in 2004 (like me) then this is perfect to get you acquainted with all the new, and admittedly weird, mechanics.

The single player experience here is second to none in TCG games I have played. There are so many duels to play that you'll spend hours just completing one anime arc. The added bonus that there are ZERO microtransactions makes this an amazing game for people who love Yu-Gi-Oh, but just can't be bothered to spend hundreds of dollars on cards nowadays. Honestly, the only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 was that the graphics are dated, the game moves a little slow, and there are no new cards past maybe 2019. Overall, a very solid pick-up for hours of TCG content on the go.
