Yakuza 0 is another sprawling entry in the open-world series, packed with an extraordinary amount of things to do and centred around a genuinely compelling crime story. Since it's a prequel, it's also unburdened by the series' increasingly intricate backs...

Two interesting playable characters with differing playstyles, Brutal, challenging melee combat, Tons of side activities and challenges, The cities you play in are some of the most fully realized you'll see in a video game
Map system gets a little irritating at times, Great art direction doesn't fully make up for the dated graphics
Yakuza 0 is a great entry into the series, with plenty for old fans and newcomers alike. Its story is cheesy and melodramatic at times, and the graphics are a bit outdated, but between a nearly perfect melee combat system and a city bursting at the seams...

Abstract: Miracle Johnson has a dilemma. He's trying to shoot his new music video with Stephen Spining, acclaimed director of hit movie Indian Jeans, and he wants this zombie epic to feel real.Real in this case means making sure the zombies act like zombies and att...
So much variety, Snappy, genuinely funny writing, Great sidequests, Good story and main characters
Basic combat, Can be a bit cringey
Despite the shallowness of the combat, you're always being pulled towards something new, and you can't help but be carried along by it. Whenever you tire of one thing, the next distraction or big set-piece is just a few minutes away – just be prepared to...
