Just days before its official launch, media outlets began sharing their reviews of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, the latest action-adventure game from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. The PlayStation 5 version of the game has garnered an average score of 79 out of 100 on Metacritic, reflecting a generally favorable reception.
Critics have hailed this as potentially the most outlandish spin-off in the series to date. A significant highlight is the studio's return to a fast-paced, action-oriented combat system, reminiscent of the franchise's pre-2020 entries, now enriched with the addition of naval battles. These ship-based skirmishes introduce a fresh dynamic to the gameplay, ensuring sustained engagement and excitement for players.
The game's protagonist, Goro Majima, has been well-received, earning praise for his compelling portrayal. However, opinions on the narrative were mixed, with some reviewers finding the story less compelling than those in the mainline series. Additionally, the game's settings drew criticism for their repetitive nature, which may detract from the overall experience.
Despite these criticisms, there's a consensus among reviewers that Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will resonate strongly with dedicated fans of the series. It's also seen as an appealing entry point for newcomers eager to explore the unique world of the Yakuza franchise.
