Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is considerably shorter than the last several Like a Dragon games. If you were to play the game somewhat normally, doing most of the side stories, mini-games, and other side activities as we did,

It’s a good day for Yakuza fans as the “Mad Dog” Goro Majima enters his very own spin-off with Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. Set after the events of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, the newest entry from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio lets users play as arguably the most beloved character in the long-running franchise.

Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii' doesn't go all the way with its nautical ambitions, but its infectious energy and oddball premise are big swings that I wish every big-budget game series would take with their spin-off titles.
