Sega's Like a Dragon franchise has been a constant presence in the industry since the original game hit the PS2 in 2005. In the years since, the franchise has seen a total of nine main series entries, a handful of remakes, and a bunch of spin-offs. The Like a Dragon spin-off games vary dramatically, with some set in alternate timelines and others having direct ties to the main series and its overarching narrative. Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii falls in the latter camp, with an amnesiac Goro Majima finding himself the captain of a pirate crew in the waters surrounding Hawaii after the events of Infinite Wealth. Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii puts Majima in the starring role for the first time since Yakuza 0, and his wild, over-the-top personality is the perfect fit for a swashbuckling adventure like this.
