Just days before its official launch, the buzz around *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* has reached a fever pitch, with journalists from various media outlets unveiling their reviews. The PS5 edition of this action-adventure game has secured an impressive average score of 79 out of 100 on Metacritic, signaling a solid reception from the gaming community.
Critics have hailed Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's latest creation as potentially the most outlandish spin-off in the beloved series. Fans and reviewers alike have celebrated the studio's decision to revert to a more fast-paced, action-centric combat system, reminiscent of the franchise's pre-2020 style. This return to roots is further enriched with the introduction of naval battles, injecting a fresh layer of excitement and variety into the gameplay that keeps players hooked.
The protagonist, Goro Majima, has garnered widespread acclaim, though the narrative has faced some criticism. Some reviewers felt the story lacked the depth and intrigue found in the mainline entries of the series. Additionally, the game's settings have drawn mixed reactions, with some pointing out a certain repetitiveness that detracts from the overall experience.
Despite these critiques, the consensus among reviewers is that *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* is a title that will resonate strongly with both dedicated fans of the series and newcomers eager to explore this unique universe. The game's blend of familiar elements with innovative twists makes it a compelling addition to the franchise.
