Goro Majima wakes up on an island without his memories, and before long, he&#8217;s the head of his very own crew of pirates. It&#8217;s got the usual Yakuza beat &#8217;em up gameplay, but Pirate Yakuza gets naval combat too, letting players command a pirate ship and attack others on the high seas.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">If you&#8217;ve never played a Yakuza game, you can start with Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii if you wish. While the stories are all interconnected, each one stands on its own, too. Some events may not hit the same if you jump around, though, so we recommend playing in order, if possible.<\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-1339469126 jsx-1178573261 box jsx-2627838217\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\">What We Said in Our Review<\/h3>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">IGN gave Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii a 8 out of 10 in our review. Here&#8217;s a quick synopsis of what we thought:<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>&#8220;Propelled by a breezy and often completely bananas treasure-hunting tale, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a delightful spin-off that seamlessly shifts between street thuggery and skulduggery. Majima\u2019s Sea Dog stance is one of the most fun and flexible fighting styles I\u2019ve enjoyed in the series to date \u2013 at least in its classic, combo-based form \u2013 and I welcomed the challenge of carefully balancing my crew lineup in order to survive the many turbulent naval battles. While its overworld maps feel a little padded out with recycled island settings, Honolulu itself is jammed with unpredictable substories and overhauled activities that meant every moment of shore leave was full of surprises. Absolutely heaving with buried treasures and varied pleasures, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a consistently captivating voyage that kept my timbers shivering whether on land or at sea.&#8221; &#8211; <\/em><em>Tristan Ogilvie<\/em><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">While the next Yakuza game is a much-needed remake of Yakuza 3, Pirate Yakuza will still be a key piece of the story for the next mainline entry. As such, if you&#8217;re aiming to catch up on the series anytime soon, this is a game you likely will need to play to be prepared for what&#8217;s to come.<\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">More Amazing Black Friday Video Game Deals<\/h2>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-1339469126 jsx-1178573261 box jsx-2627838217\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\">Follow Our Black Friday Coverage<\/h3>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The IGN Deals Team has over 30 years of combined experience finding the best discounts and preorders available online.
