'Pirate Yakuza' Is a Delightfully Bizarre Game That Only the Yakuza Series Could Produce
Briefly

Pirate Yakuza is a unique Yakuza game set against a backdrop of hilarious sea battles and emotional storytelling. Following the character Goro Majima, players witness his awakening on a mysterious Hawaiian island, where he grapples with amnesia and embarks on a pirate adventure. The game effectively combines absurd humor with darker themes, maintaining the essence of the Yakuza series. As a smaller-scale spinoff, it encapsulates the series' signature zaniness while also serving as a companion to the previous installment, Infinite Wealth, making it a must-play for fans.
While there's a bit of needless fluff, Pirate Yakuza is another strong entry into the series that's becoming one of gaming's best.
Majima wakes up on the shores of an unknown Hawaiian island with amnesia, no recollection of who he is or why he's there.
The game literally begins and ends with a big musical number, fully embracing the zaniness Yakuza has become known for.
Pirate Yakuza is a drastically smaller-scale spinoff, but it works beautifully as a companion piece to last year's Infinite Wealth.
