Yakuza 0 was my entry point in this series. After the first slow-paced chapters, things got suddenly better. The gripping story escalates more and more — for more than 20 hours. Even the substories, despite their enormous absurdity, are perfectly entangled with the tonality of the overall narrative. Yakuza 0’s great story is topped off by the authentic designs of the Japanese city districts you can freely explore. The exorbitantly exaggerated fight scenes, reminiscent of classics like Streets of Rage, wonderfully sync with the rest of this masterpiece.
