Here I am trying to save my game and 3 substories, 2 biker gangs looking for pain, and a fun karaoke machine come up between the convenience store and the phone booth. In the world of Yakuza 0, curious distractions are everywhere, everything will try and pull you from advancing the plot. Thankfully it’s all good quality content that mostly never lets up. I can’t imagine being the one to decide box art for the back of this game. The plot takes a bit to get going, but when it does it’s exciting and very rememberable. Both Kiryu and Majima are great protagonists, and being my first Yakuza it’s clear why they’re beloved characters. Both main areas are graphically impressive, interesting and loaded with detail. Killer soundtrack, Pledge of Demon, Heartbreak Mermaid and t u s k go hard. I hope to play more from this series.
