Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is one of the strangest spin-offs Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has created, even for a franchise already known for its absurdity. The idea of Goro Majima becoming a pirate captain sounds ridiculous at first, but the game quickly makes it clear that it isn’t trying to reinvent the series. Instead, it aims to deliver a lighter and more chaotic adventure centered around one of its most charismatic characters.Combat returns to the classic real-time brawler system instead of the turn-based gameplay introduced in Like a Dragon 7. Majima can switch between two styles: the fast and aggressive Mad Dog style and the pirate-themed Sea Dog style, which adds swords and firearms. While flashy and entertaining at first, the combat often feels chaotic and lacks depth. Large fights especially tend to devolve into button mashing rather than skillful **** game’s main innovation is its naval system. Majima can recruit crew members, upgrade his ship — the Goromaru — and fight enemy vessels before boarding them for deck battles. It’s a fun idea that fits the game’s tone, but it never becomes as deep or engaging as it could have been, and sailing across the map can sometimes feel slow and repetitive.Visually, the game reuses the engine from Infinite Wealth and delivers a solid presentation. Hawaii remains an enjoyable setting, mixing tourist paradise with the chaotic energy typical of the series. However, the visuals themselves aren’t particularly **** story begins with Majima waking up on an island with no memory of his past. While the premise is amusing, the main narrative ends up being one of the weaker parts of the game. As usual for the franchise, the real highlights are the side stories, filled with bizarre characters and ridiculous situations that swing between comedy and second-hand **** the end, Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is an uneven but entertaining spin-off. It doesn’t reach the heights of the main entries, but Majima’s charisma and the absurd side content still make it a fun experience for fans of the series.

Im biased and love all these games. I love a spin off game with Majima. Only thing I did not like was the repetitive phrases from characters and the light on the beach seem off but thats minor, perfect game in my opinion.

Jogo maravilhoso, mostrando a prórpia evolução da franquia. Jogabilidade perfeita, embora muitos sempre falaram mal disso na Sega, neste jogo está ainda mais rápida e acertiva.
