Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii review roundup: 'a delightful spin-off'


Goro Majima's bonkers adventure has impressed critics

Someone needs to study how Sega’s Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio can produce so many quality games in such a short space of time, as it looks like they’ve delivered another great experience in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. You’ll spend most of your time in your getup of choice, ticking off suitably piratey sub-stories and goals in order to recruit new crewmates, as well as hunting down bounty targets pulled from IW’s array of different enemy categories to beef up your bank balance in refreshingly ungrindy chunks.” Majima’s Sea Dog stance is one of the most fun and flexible fighting styles I’ve enjoyed in the series to date – at least in its classic, combo-based form – and I welcomed the challenge of carefully balancing my crew lineup in order to survive the many turbulent naval battles.
