Yakuza 0
Hello friends,
Today i will review the game Yakuza 0. This is the first in the series of yakuza games, but not the first one made for the series. This is basically the game that lets you understand the rest of the series. Note: If any of this info is wrong, please tell me in the comments in my review and ill change it immedietly..thank you. Anyways, this game follows two characters that are part of the yakuza, or trying to join the yakuza. Withought spoiling too much, the game follows the two characters thru many adventures in the game. Also, there is alot of side content. The time associated with my playing is because of the side stuff. You might just like the side stuff in the game and ignore the main story for awhile. It is quite addictive to just do the side things and ignore the main story. Anyways, some of the side stuff is actually pretty hard too. So here is my pro/con list:

I’ve had so much fun with this one.
Way too many unforgettable moments and characters.
The side quests and mini games are so entertaining that sometimes I stop for a while and remember I’ve got a main story to complete. Even still, the main story is sensational.
You get to also play as two of the most chad protagonists in gaming history, why wouldn’t you wanna do that?

I played Yakuza 0 prior to this one and I must admit that I was not prepared for the difference between Majima’s style at the end of 0 and at the start of Kiwami.
This being said, loved the game and looking forward to the following ones….

Was going to write a long review but I think it would just be better to say that this is the best game I’ve ever played and end it at that.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon
Yakuza: Like A Dragon is a new spin on the series with a new protagonist and supporting cast that succeeds at breathing new life into one of my favorite video game franchises of all time. Returning players will find comfortable and familiar ground mixed with a new combat system that takes some getting used to but eventually feels solid. This is also a good starting point for newcomers to the series as it doesn’t require knowledge from the other Yakuza titles to be enjoyed to the fullest. Those with knowledge of prior games will have a more fulfilling experience as there are a lot of callbacks and memorable appearances from characters that were part of past installments.

For the seventh entry in the main series, we have a new protagonist and rather more controversially, an entirely new genre. Instead of the beat-em-up brawler gameplay of the previous six iterations it’s now a turn based SJRPG. For most companies pulling it off would be a tall order; for Ryu Ga Gotoku on the other hand the result is a masterpiece.
Remarkably the game doesn’t innovate much. The small(ish) open world maps stuffed with things to do is still the core of the game. Most of the old side activities like Karaoke, golf and mahjong are there along with some new ones, like a mario-kart style street race and a cinema minigame. The arcades still carry old Sega classics too. The combat, while new to the series, is still fairly standard SJRPG fare - on a characters turn they choose between attacking, using an item or skill; there’s a smattering of damage types and status effects like burning or poison plus some positioning rules. Aside from the set-piece battles random enemies roam the map and trigger combat if you get too close. Nothing outside the wheelhouse of a Fire Emblem/Disgaea fan in other words.
