Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii: Collector's Edition - PlayStation 5

I was one of the people that pre ordered the collectors edition, and this is the only collectors edition I’ve bought for a game that I didn’t have some regret over later (PAYDAY 3). The storytelling is exceptional and while some might not like how far we’ve come from Yakuzas fighting each other in Japan, this is a solid title. This isn’t turn based either unlike Infinite Wealth. In closing, this is the only Yakuza that anyone has a real shot at getting the platinum in. End of story. Buy the game!

As per usual Yakuza series, this one has a little twist in that Majima becomes a pirate lol. The fighting and other discovery aspects of the game series are still there and lets you switch between fighting as a pirate or just the typical majima. Honolulu has all the vibe of the real city and you get a taste of how waikiki, ala moana and chinatown are so it's fun. You can hear various languages in the background while exploring hawaii, with authentic pidgeon english (hawaiian local talk), japanese and english tourists lol. Instead of running around the city, you can get a segway and go cruising on that, which saves time looking for all the stuff around town. Also manning the pirate ship is sort of fun in it's own way. Anyways, wont spoil the story, but for those who never played these types of games. The story has a flow that is regulated by the game so as you go, you learn what is going on with the characters. So it's not exactly a open world type of game. The traversing to one location to another had me confused at first, as it uses the same island map for all the locations you go to, but you have to select a sub map like honolulu when you want to traverse to honolulu and stuff like that. At first i was just cruising around the main ocean map wondering where to go lol. Anyways fun game, i think i played 8 hours the first day and it appeals to those who have that unspoken thoughts of cleaning up the city lol.

I would take this title, and my entire Yakuza/Like a Dragon collection with me within my future crypt....peacefully hidden from civilization once the world ends ❤️It would be a wonderful journey into whichever afterspell comes after death itself, I wonder~Perhaps commander a ship with a crew unlike anyone has ever known! It's my personal top 3 favorite of all time.Game play itself can sometime be a tad redundant; however with the bosses in each chapter, they do test your reflexive capabilities and combos to combine.Thus far, I do enjoy the story thus far a couple of chapters in.

These are games I love and really enjoy playing. It has much of gaming history packed into it. Sega does very well with their Yakuza/Like A Dragon Franchises so much! I never thought I’d get into it but every since I played Yakuza 0 Kiwami I’ve been all up in it and have enjoyed it crying manly tears and playing the game with a stupid smile on my face. It’s gaming comfort food up there with Dragon Quest and other Nintendo titles! Thank you and I can’t wait to start it. Ima saving it for when I can play it uninterrupted and unbothered.

A really good game that is is a bit sillier than the usual outings in the series, but is overall a lot of fun because of that. The collector's edition itself is a bit on the pricier side, and honestly should have included a few more items for the price. Wait for a sale. It doesn't even have a cd soundtrack.

Like a Dragon is such a good series, getting this was a no Brainerd. Game did not disappoint although it is shorter than the other Yakuza games. I had a lot of fun regardless.

I absolutely love this game i have and always will be a fan of the yakuza and like a dragon series I Have played every single one of them. And this time you get to play as Goro Majima usually this guys a crazy but lovable lunatic in previous installments but he has amnesia and is a little less psychotic than previous entries. And the crew is very likeable and endearing. Thee side quests will keep you busy and the cities and oceans are bright and vibrant while this sint the best game in the series it certainly is worth picking up

Arrived on release day, carefully packaged. Really excited to have Majima’s (Ugakii’s) first game that’s all his own so I had to get the collector’s edition. Very pleased with my purchase.
