Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii's launch might be lagging behind LaD: Infinite Wealth on PC. The new Like a Dragon game has fewer Steam players and reviews than its predecessor did after two days. However, historical user review data suggests that Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii's PlayStation launch is possibly ahead of Infinite Wealth.

Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii's treasure hunting may be a worthwhile side activity, but it's much more than just an extra bit of content.

Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii' doesn't go all the way with its nautical ambitions, but its infectious energy and oddball premise are big swings that I wish every big-budget game series would take with their spin-off titles.
