Multi Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Reveal Trailer

the game dropped this past friday and i may have already put in about 20 hours on it...it's good. everything i expected. the ship combat is simple but pretty solid, the new pirate ("Sea Dog") battle style is awesome, and all the majima content is just whipped cream and a cherry on top. there's a lot of reused stuff from infinite wealth, which i can't really blame them for given how sprawling it was. but there's no rpg systems to be found, it's all old-school beat-em-up combat. story-wise i'm not super far in, i'm in chapter 2 out of 5 (which is how long gaiden: the man who erased his name was) but the new antagonists are great. queen michele i am obviously a big fan of but samoa joe looks really cool as raymond law, even if i'm not hearing him since i'm japanese-only for yakuza games. (especially this one because i cannot at all imagine matt mercer as a good majima. mark hamill or bust)

anyway if the rpg stylings of infinite wealth weren't for you, but you liked riding a segway around hawaii, you'll have a hoot here. if you're looking for the sprawling naval words of, say, assassin's creed: odyssey, you won't find them here, but there is some pretty fun stuff explore. i would rate the expansiveness of the naval modes about on par with the pirates of the carribean world in kingdom hearts iii, maybe a little bit higher because of the pirate coliseum

i just started chapter 3 and yeah, it’s pretty short, but there’s still so much to do that it doesn’t feel short. there are some new areas, like the island majima washes up on and the Madlantis area that’s basically Purgatory for Pirates. i wouldn’t describe it as less to do on land, though. just about every minigame and diversion ichiban had access to, majima does too. and you can FINALLY wave at people while riding your segway
