Just days before its official launch, the gaming world got a taste of *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* through early reviews from various media outlets. The PS5 version of this action-adventure game has garnered an average score of 79 out of 100 on Metacritic, signaling a warm reception.

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has seemingly crafted what critics are calling the most outlandish spin-off yet in the *Like a Dragon* series. Reviewers have lauded the studio for reverting to a fast-paced, action-oriented combat system, a hallmark of the franchise prior to 2020. This time, the system is enriched with naval battles, adding a fresh layer of excitement and variety to the gameplay.

The game's protagonist, Goro Majima, has earned high praise. However, the narrative didn't strike a chord with all critics, with some deeming it unremarkable when compared to the mainline entries of the series. The game's settings also faced criticism for their repetitive nature.

Despite these shortcomings, the consensus among reviewers is that *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* will undoubtedly captivate both loyal fans of the series and newcomers eager to explore its unique world. Whether you're a seasoned player or a curious newcomer, this game promises an engaging experience.
