Remember the thrill of receiving a magazine with a demo disc tucked inside? Those days may be behind us, but that doesn’t dampen the excitement when a fresh PS5 demo hits the scene. These trial runs offer a fantastic opportunity for PlayStation enthusiasts to determine if they should invest their cash into a brand-new game. Sometimes, they also serve as a testament to a developer’s confidence in their creation. This seems to be the case with the latest PS5 demo, presenting a sneak peek into Ryu Ga Gotoku’s upcoming masterpiece.
At the recent State of Play event, the gaming community was pleasantly surprised with the launch of a PS5 demo for “Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii,” which can be found on the PlayStation Store right now. Fans of the fierce and unpredictable Goro Majima will relish the chance to steer him through an adventurous journey brimming with both hand-to-hand and ship-based battles.
This free demo dives into a narrative where Goro Majima, once a powerful yakuza, now commands respect as a pirate captain. As you navigate the lively streets of Honolulu, you’ll find yourself immersed in this modern-day saga. But the adventure doesn’t end there. Players can also venture into the hidden pirate enclave, Madlantis, a hotspot for thrilling naval skirmishes.
What sets this game apart is its dynamic combat system. You can switch effortlessly between two battle styles and unleash spectacular combos, juggles, and finishing moves that reward tactical ingenuity. With tools ranging from bare fists to makeshift weapons, cutlasses, and other pirate arsenals, you have everything to overtake your opponents in style.
This demo doesn’t just stop on land. You’ll command your ship across treacherous waters, engaging enemy crews in the notorious Pirates’ Coliseum. Arm yourself with machine guns, cannons, and more as you prepare for epic, real-time naval warfare. Once you’ve disabled your adversary’s ship, it’s time for an exhilarating boarding operation, culminating in intense deck brawls against waves of foes.
Excited by the demo? There’s not long to wait. “Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii” is set to launch in full glory on the PS5 come February 20. Dive into this action-packed world and let the adventures unfold!
