Abstract: Many people will immediately compare Yakuza 0 to Grand Theft Auto. Open world, crime based gangster fun is what GTA was built on. Yakuza 0 however is more closely reminiscent of Final Fantasy XV than GTA. Allow me to explain. Yakuza 0 is less open world...
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 Its story is cheesy and melodramatic at times, and the graphics are a bit outdated, but between a nearly perfect melee combat system and a city bursting at the seams...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: It has been four years since Sega opened more of its console catalogue to PC ports. It started after a petition online asked Sega to support the platform by bringing games like Valkyria Chronicles, Bayonetta, Vanquish and other titles. It seemed to have...

Abstract: Yakuza and the 1980s: it always looked an ideal fit, and so it proves. The series that never does anything by halves enters the decade of excess in a pulverising bombardment of bone-shuddering violence, overwrought melodrama, sentimentality and silliness...
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...

Focusing on two protagonists keeps the plot snappy, Combat is much more varied this time around, It walks that line between serious and bizarre so well
Minigames are a bit weak compared to previous titles, Running a business isn't as deep or as interesting as it sounds
While a bit disappointing on the mini-game front, Yakuza 0 remains as strange and charming as ever, with the best story and combat the series has seen in years...

Abstract: Thanks to the popularity of Grand Theft Auto, there's been no shortage of attempts to bring crime drama to video games. They all want to be the medium's answer to The Sopranos, but sadly, they usually end up looking more like Corky Romano. That said, we'v...
