There's been a lot of hype around the release of Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii and a lot of new players will be using this wacky spin-off as their first jumping-in point for the Yakuza series. Despite being a spin-off game in the vein of Like A Dragon: Ishin rather than a mainline entry, the game retains a lot of the Yakuza DNA in its gameplay and systems. Like other recent spin-offs, Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii returns to the action-brawler style of older Yakuza games, rather than the turn-based Like A Dragon system.
