When it comes to Goro Majima having his very own game, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii wasn't quite what I expected it to look like. After being briefly playable in Yakuza: Dead Souls and sharing the spotlight with series lead Kazuma Kiryu in Yakuza 0, the Mad Dog of Shimano now has a whole swashbuckling adventure to call his own - and it's already shaping up to be something quite special.
I was recently able to visit Sega's London offices for a preview of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. While my time with the game amounted to a relatively short vertical slice lasting around 45 minutes, I still got to see and do a healthy amount in that time.
