Yakuza 0 goes above and beyond at everything, this game did everything it did beyond the point that it needed to. It's obnoxious but still extremely admirable for that, there are at least 30 minigames and dozens of fascinatingly hilarious substories to fulfil and all of them don't manage to distract from the emotional potency of its main story.
Just about every moral and lesson could be extracted from Yakuza 0, it seemingly touches on everything. From family struggles, selflessness, pride, financial debts, crumbling friendships and brotherhoods, you can find valuable morals about all of this and more in either the lead story or the wacky side quests and it's determination to go the extra mile throughout all of it is a consistently engaging sight to behold.
Tons of heart given to the two lead characters as well, with their lovable personality quirks even shining through in their respective combat styles and upgrade systems, all of it making for an addictive gameplay loop. First open world title in a while that i've actually felt compelled to go back and explore further after finishing, that side stuff is truly a whole separate package in itself.
