My first Yakuza game, i was expecting great things and it gave my 10 times that.

Yakuza 0 is such a rollercoaster of emotions and craziness that I can't get here and not write a great review about it. I love my boys Kiryu and Majima. I love doing sub-stories and side content for hours and hours. I love grinding like a mobile game in my real estate and cabaret. I just love it all.

Therefore, instead of reading reviews, go all out and play it, i swear to you, it's definitely one hell of a game.

Love seeing so many people get into this. 0 was my first Yakuza too, I'm halfway through 4 now! For story reasons, you need to go play Kiwami now (the remake of the first game), mainly for the relationship between Nishki and Kiryu, but honestly it's been great to just go through the whole series!
Yeah it was my first as well, awesome game
@thealexmott I usually hear that the remake isnt good and that I should play the original instead

@NIRT17 if you have a tolerance for older games and clunky combat I would say play the original, it's like a 12 hour long game and isn't very hard, then if you want more stuff go play Kiwami after it

only thing to note with playing kiwami is that they butcher the majima as a whole and by extension the tone of a lot of story moments for the sake of a meme marketing gimmick mechanic, other than that it's fine though
Yeah I own kiwami already but I plan on playing OG yakuza beforehand, will be fun to compare the two

@NIRT17 there's also an undub mod for the PS2 original that also updates the translation but if you're planning on playing both then I wouldn't entirely see the harm in playing it with the english dub lol
Yeah I definitely want to experience the dub plus I'd be playing on an actual ps2
