The legendary Black Friday sales are underway and there are hundreds of amazing video game deals at Amazon, Target and Best Buy. Among them, the latest Yakuza game – Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii – costs just $25. If you missed this cruise in February, there’s never been a better time to hop on and sail the seas with Goro Majima.
Get Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii for $25 during Black Friday
Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii may be the most unique entry in the entire Like a Dragon/Yakuza series. Goro Majima wakes up on an island with no memories and soon becomes the head of his own pirate crew. It features typical Yakuza beat ’em up gameplay, but Pirate Yakuza also features naval combat, allowing players to command a pirate ship and attack others on the high seas.
If you’ve never played a Yakuza game, you can start with Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii if you want. Although all the stories are interconnected, each of them is distinct. However, some events may not have the same effect if you jump, so we recommend playing in order if possible.
While the next Yakuza game is a much-needed remake of Yakuza 3, Pirate Yakuza will still be a key story element in the next mainline installment. As such, if you’re looking to catch up on the series anytime soon, this is a game you’ll likely need to play to prepare for what’s to come.
