Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii scored 79/100 on first reviews
Pre-release reviews for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (the Hawaiian pirate-themed Yakuza spin-off) are in, and the PS5 version currently holds a Metacritic average of 79/100. Reviewers agree that Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has delivered perhaps the most outlandish entry in the series yet.
The return to a fast-paced, action-focused combat system, reminiscent of pre-2020 titles, is a significant highlight, bolstered by the addition of engaging naval battles. This seafaring combat element provides welcome variety and maintains player engagement.
While protagonist Goro Majima receives considerable praise, the narrative has drawn mixed reactions, with some critics deeming it less compelling than mainline Yakuza titles. The game's environments also faced criticism for a degree of repetitiveness.
Despite these shortcomings, the consensus is that Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth will likely resonate with both veteran fans and newcomers alike.
