Yakuza Pirate Game Sails High with Critics

Ahead of its official launch, gaming journalists have shared their reviews of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. The PS5 version currently holds a Metacritic score of 79/100.

Reviewers describe the game as a wildly entertaining, albeit unconventional, addition to the series, hailing it as perhaps the most outlandish spin-off yet from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. The shift back to a fast-paced, action-focused combat system— reminiscent of pre-2020 titles— enhanced by thrilling naval battles, has been widely applauded. This innovative ship combat significantly boosts the game's replayability.

While protagonist Goro Majima received positive feedback, the narrative has drawn mixed reactions, with some critics finding it less compelling than the main series entries. Similarly, the game's environments were criticized for a degree of repetitiveness.

Despite these shortcomings, the consensus is that Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii offers a fun and engaging experience, likely captivating both seasoned fans and newcomers alike.
