A great game, currently my most played game on steam, wish I could play it again for the first time
Game gave me yellow fever
This is going to be hard for me to review, because I genuinely don’t see Yakuza 0 as just another video game I happened to love. This is a story and a group of characters that affected me personally and deeply. Honestly, I would be curious to meet someone who completely hates this game. The writing, the emotional moments, the twists, the way everything builds… and knowing that this is where so much of the whole series begins makes it even more special. For me, the characters and this world became much more than just something I played through. And Kiryu… let’s just put it simply. He is my favorite fictional character ever. Not just in video games. Ever. There is also another side of this game that means so much to me personally, and that is Japan itself. If you want a game that gives you a real feeling of Japanese city life and street culture, this series is something special. I have been to Japan many times, and it still puts the biggest smile on my face when I see something in the game and then experience that exact thing in real life. Don Quijote. Convenience stores. Vending machines. The drinks. The food. Even tiny items being sold in shops. So many things are the same. And strangely, these games also taught me a lot. They made me notice and understand little parts of Japanese street culture before I even experienced some of them myself. Then I would go to Japan, see something in real life that I already recognized from the game, and feel this ridiculous amount of excitement. I honestly can’t even begin to explain what Yakuza 0 means to me. It is emotional, funny, dramatic, completely ridiculous at times, deeply human at others, and filled with characters I will never forget. This isn’t just one of my favorite games. It is one of my favorite fictional experiences, period.

Everything in this game has a strict purpose and works so incredibly well together, even when you consider the future titles. Not many studios are able to make a prequel that enhances older titles while outshining them completely. Yokoyama's writing really shines in this game especially compared to what he's doing with the series now. Managed to get all of the upgrades this go around, so combat was an absolute blast. My only real complaint is that the business minigame (if you can call it that, it's basically just a spreadsheet) takes way too long to finish, but the reward is certainly worth it, unlike cabaret where I had fun doing it for a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ reward.
One thing I've learnt from this game: DO NOT WEAR A VARSITY JACKET WHILST CROSSING A BRIDGE IN DOTONBORI, JAPAN. YOU WILL GET JUMPED.
This game plays like a tv drama series but with Japanese mafia, Japanese entertainment and lifestyle. It has everything that can be found in Tokyo and Osaka nightlife. So many mini games to entertain me for HOURS. They have mahjong, fishing, arcade games, bowling, baseball practice and mini racing cars, just to name a few. Best of all, it has lots of Japanese women from the AV industry. A spectacular game made by amazing programmers. Everything just works!! This is a 'must play' game not just for the mafia fights but also for the great story (especially Episode 14), all the mini games and all the beautiful, sexy women on display. A lot of positive lessons can be learn from this game. Worth every dollar! Rating: 100% (+70%)
I don't even know how to describe how crazy this game is. one minute i'm fighting a bunch of goons and a few minutes later i'm on a side quest to bring pizza to a random woman and ignoring the story for a few hours. also the soundtrack is a banger.
