Just days before its official release, the gaming world got a sneak peek at Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii through early reviews from various media outlets. The PS5 version of this action-adventure title has garnered an average score of 79 out of 100 on Metacritic, indicating a generally favorable reception.
Critics have dubbed this entry as potentially the most eccentric spin-off in the Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's acclaimed series. The return to a fast-paced, action-oriented combat system, a hallmark of the franchise pre-2020, has been well-received. This iteration spices things up with the introduction of naval battles, adding a fresh layer of excitement and variety to the gameplay that keeps players hooked.
The game's protagonist, Goro Majima, has won over reviewers with his compelling portrayal, though the narrative has drawn mixed reactions. Some critics found the story to be less engaging compared to the mainline games in the series. Additionally, the game's settings have faced scrutiny for their lack of diversity, with some areas feeling repetitive.
Despite these shortcomings, the consensus among critics is that Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will certainly resonate with long-time fans of the series and is poised to attract newcomers eager to explore the unique world of Ryu Ga Gotoku.
