Speaking of sea battles, the coup de grâce of Pirate Yakuza is the inclusion of full-on naval battles. While sailing the high seas, Majima can chart a course to uncover hidden treasure on enemy pirate-controlled islands and engage in multi-layered nautical battles while ducking hazardous whirlpools and lightning.

Absolutely heaving with buried treasures and varied pleasures, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a consistently captivating voyage that kept my timbers shivering whether on land or at sea.
