Honestly speaking the cards were stacked against Yakuza even before I started, I don't like cutscene heavy games and I don't like Beat em Ups. So the fact that I came out of this game really liking it speaks to it's strength, the game's story building up to it's climax is incredibly engaging. Giving us reveals in a well paced manner while having some of the incredibly entertaining and well written characters in insane situations.
The combat was also fun I could button mash my way to victory a lot of the time but the heat actions and animations look and sound great and is incredibly fun to pull off.
The subquests are also great , weird and almost always hilarious. Randomly coming across them is always a treat.
I am not really a fan of the minigames though or the Cabaret or Real Estate side stories, they feel kinda tedious and time consuming to do.
The game also stumbles at the ending, with constant cutscenes and enemy encounters that were straight up tedious and unfun, the bosses somewhat made up for it but the fact that I had to go through an Hour long cutscene at the end also soured me on the ending a bit cause I also have some problems with it's story.
Overall though this game is great I put over 60 Hours in it and I had something fun to do throughout it's runtime and the story was engaging from the start.

Game being popular will never stop me from shitting on it if it deserves that, this one is pretty good. You just dont get the soul of the story everything makes sense.
what soul are you talking about? the game is full with plot armor, plot convivence, padded out meaningless dialogue, poor characterization that changes back and forth just to pull random shocking moments, boring pacing and literal plot mistakes.
the writing is horrible no amount of soul can save that. its pretty obvious you have been conditioned to like it and your dismissal by saying you just dont get it is rather obvious lol.
its your review so whatever floats your boat but i find it funny when people complain about movie games with bad gameplay but turn their heads around and praise this literal poorly written visual novel with a mess of gameplay.

im not even a story person. for me gameplay is king and yakuza 0 gameplay is abysmal it has one of the worst if not the worst combat i have ever played and every point im interacting with the game its either tedious or bad.
normally if its a movie game like red dead 2 then you can tolerate terrible gameplay for the story but unlike red dead 2 yakuza has no good story and no good visuals to save it either.
unironically only the minigames are good and not all of them. most of the minigames are pointless crap you can play on any flash website
