As my first entry into the Yakuza series it was a great introduction. Getting familiar with the characters and cities was done well, slowly easing your way through it until it becomes familiar. For Y0 I enjoyed Majima's intro more than Kiryu's, his story was more interesting throughout while Kiryu had parts that I was invested in. The combat is super jank and was my least favourite part of the game, being staggered and knocked down, while having 90% of your attacks blocked was annoying and since there are quite a few massive mob fights, those felt draining getting through. The other jank addition is the skill tree, im glad this was a one and done for the setting cause whoever thought of a money based skill tree is insane. Overall I enjoyed my time despite some glaring setbacks
