Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is largely disconnected from the previous entry in the series, Infinite Wealth. However, one scene toward the end of the game seems to provide a strange answer for the lore of one of the main antagonists of the previous game, Bryce Fairchild.

However, it’s also not necessary to play Infinite Wealth first. It’s an incredibly long game, and while it does inform you of events that take place before Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, the game does a decent job of also explaining some of the things that occurred before it took place.

Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a bizarre new spin-off game from the mainline Like a Dragon series, but how different is its gameplay and story?
