The glitz, glamour, and unbridled decadence of the 80s are back! Yakuza 0 is a prequel set in 1988 to the Yakuza series, taking place before the first game. Fight like hell through Tokyo and Osaka with protagonist Kazuma Kiryu and series regular Goro Majima. Play as Kazuma Kiryu and discover how he finds himself in a world of trouble when a simple debt collection goes wrong and his mark winds up murdered. Then, step into the silver-toed shoes of Goro Majima and explore his “normal” life as the proprietor of a cabaret club.

Yakuza 0 is overstuffed with fun content, ranging from wacky sidequests to fully-fledged kart racing and host club simulation minigames---the world itself is also a blast to explore, serving up an absurdly detailed recreation of Japan that's about as close to the real thing as it gets. In a sense, this game felt like a fully-realized version of what Shenmue set out to accomplish back in 1999.
However, it's just 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠. While brawling your way through the map and its many peculiarities is a great time when first sinking your teeth into the game, I found the main story to be stretched out to an absurd length---ultimately I grew to feel the same dreaded burnout I tend to experience with much of the JRPG genre (this isn't a JPRG, to be clear). Nonetheless, I still appreciate this game for its overall uniqueness and sheer bang for one's buck received---perhaps one day I'll get around to fully completing it.

One of those games that I enjoyed wayyy more than I thought I was going to. Wish I had time for the rest of the series but with the same locations and styles, I think I can better spend my time elsewhere.
people say this is one of the better yakuza games. having played through everything (includind kurohyou, kenzan and that piece of shit fist of the northstar one (it was gas albeit side content was doodoo)) i have my doubts. this might have one of the better plots in the franchise, but the writing does little to transcend the soap opera it is a part of. however, a real and interesting rejuvenation of a badass combat system, arguably one of the best side stories in any of these games alongside the introduction of the best substories these games have to offer, i can definitely say its a good game. just a heads up: you will most definitely want to play kiwami and boy let me tell you... you've caught the bug
