About the Game
Goro Majima sets sail on a pirate ship in this open-sea spin-off from the Like a Dragon series.
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is an action, adventure, and role-playing game developed by RGG Studio and published by SEGA. It follows Goro Majima, the former feared yakuza, after the events of the eighth main entry in the series. The story opens with Majima washing up on a deserted island beach after a shipwreck, unable to remember his own name.
The core loop moves between the island and the open sea. Majima teams up with Noah, a young islander who helps him search for clues about his past, and together they set sail aboard the pirate ship Goromaru. You collect companions and customize your ship to build a stronger crew for ocean travel. When an enemy vessel appears, cannon fire opens the battle, and once you have damaged it enough, you can board the deck and take on the rival captain directly. Defeating strong foes and finding treasure islands drives the adventure forward.
On foot, combat revolves around two styles you can switch between as the fight changes. The fast-paced Mad Dog style keeps the speed that defines Majima, while the new Pirate style adds curved swords and other seafaring tools to the mix. Between voyages, the store description also promises entertainment venues packed with deep gameplay elements.
What stands out most is the blend of street-style brawling and naval combat within one adventure. A star-studded cast plays the new characters introduced in this spin-off, which gives the story an extra layer of appeal for fans of the series.

What the Steam Reviews Say
Steam rates this game Very Positive, which is 極度好評 on the Taiwan store, with 88 percent of reviews positive. That is a strong majority, and it is backed by tens of thousands of reviews, so the score reflects a broad base of opinions rather than a handful of early takes.
Steam calculates these labels from the share of positive reviews and the total review count, so a high percentage paired with a large volume usually signals wide agreement among many kinds of players. Review scores can shift over time as updates arrive or the player base changes, so it is worth scanning recent reviews to see how current players feel. Keep in mind that the score reflects overall sentiment, not whether the game suits your personal taste.
