    Action, great characters, tons of mini-games.

    I haven't figured out how RGG Studio is so successful in their balancing act between emotional, mature story beats and utterly goofy, absurd ones. One moment, Majima is stopping acts of abuse or helping a stranger; the next, he's snapping photos of big bald exhibitionists or getting conned into thinking a tiger cub can communicate with him telepathically. It's all set against the backdrop of modern-day pirates and the quest for a legendary treasure, and it's great. As a side story of sorts, it's easy to enjoy even if you don't know the decades-spanning lore of the series. The few bits you need are explained in-game. The live-action scenes featuring the crew's chef in a Bachelor-like competition are hilarious. Action, great characters, tons of mini-games. Loved it.

    Great game, enjoyed it to the very end. Plenty of missions and activities to keep you busy. And a pretty good story as well.

    It takes the most ridiculous aspects of the series and cranks it all to 11. Majima is a pirate now and he's in Hawaii, which made it easy for RGG to crank the game out so quickly after Infinite Wealth. It also has Samoa Joe, and this guy who knows a thing or two about shoegaze.

    Definitely a lot more fun then you'd first think and while you're no longer in Japan the new location of Hawaii is a great location to play here. Gameplay/characters/graphics/soundtrack are fantastic and one fans of the series will definitely enjoy. One game that shouldn't be overlooked as this is a great gift on Xmas day.

    Freakin' awesome! Combat is fun, flashy, and over the top. The game is so ridiculous but never tries to be "real" which is perfect. All kinds of distractions, fun story quests, and so much humor! The pirate ship arena is worth the price alone, lol!

    It's certainly not a perfect Yakuza game, but it delivers lots of fun and varied gameplay to keep you busy for a while. It's different, for good and for bad, but worth it if you find a good sale and just want to have mindless fun.

    Love the game series in general. I honestly am not a fan of playing games were you need to maneuver a boat and bought this game because Majima is on the cover. So far the game is good, when using the boat its not so bad with my motion sickness so no complaints yet.

    Pretty decent probably one of the weaker RGG titles the last few years but nothing offensively bad it was more a game focused on the side content than anything there were hyper specific things I liked about it writing wise but outside of that nothing crazy

    It's nice to see the series go back to active combat, if even for a short time.

    This game is wild. It seems like it's one giant RGG side-story, instead of the typical serious crime drama of the standard Like A Dragon/Yakuza game. It's great.

    An amazing game by Sega and RGG that is worth every penny. The game is packed with so much to do and so many surprises along the way. The action combat is very fun and deep, with more abilities and unlocks as you progress further. The minigames are fleshed out and have a wide variety across the game. The pirate/ship aspects of the game are just as fun and just as fleshed out. A ton to offer with tons of replay value. I had a great time with this title, highly recommend

    Such an amazing game. So many things to do around the city and the graphics are amazing. The fights are hilarious and youll find yourself dying laughing from all the enemy ragdoll effects. Anyone that gives this game 1 star because they didnt get their preorder on time..get a life and go pick up the game yourself. I picked it up on release day in the store and there was plenty of copies.

    As the subtitle of this game suggests, it is literally just a Yakuza game with pirates in Hawaii. If you're already a fan, then you will know what to expect. You're likely going to love it. If you're a new fan, then just know that the game does spoil a major plot point of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth in like the first few hours. Still interested? There's a demo out for this game. Go and try that first before buying.
