An honestly really good game that was a joy to play from beginning to end, both in terms of gameplay and story. Really glad I played this after kiwami instead of what people usually say of playing this first. I definitely think kiwami is a better starting point as while it came out after this game both in terms of story and gameplay it feels a lot more primitive, which makes sense since kiwami is a fairly faithful remake of a ps2 and this is a newer game made after 5. This game has that "yakuza" factor which the series is known for in spades which is another reason I reccomend playing kiwami first as I feel going from this to kiwami would be weird as that game is pretty tame for the most part with only a few hints of insanity (most of that coming from majima go figure). Anyway 0 by itself was a good time, lots of fun side content to do wirh an overall ok battle system, a fantastic ost, and overall good story and phenomenal characters. Definitely a keeper.
