Thanks to its outstanding writing, acting, cinematography and animation, Yakuza 0 tells an effective and surprisingly nuanced story of one man and his early journey through the complex world of organized crime.

I have an imported american copy, I wanted the limited edition which was US exclusive. Have just started and am already thoroughly enjoying myself. A huge amount to do! Tons of karaoke, minigames and upgrades, adds so much to the game. Don't overlook this amazing game.

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 backstory and thus far more approachable for newcomers than...

Amazing storyline – Great introduction to franchise

Graphics are average and dated

This is one awesome game!

I'd like to start with an anecdote that will help you understand why I love Yakuza 0 so much; to me, it perfectly sums up the silliness and the creativeness Sega regularly puts into the series, and

Fighting is satisfying; So much fun to be had in the activities; Plenty of comedic value

Random fights can get tedious; Some texture issues
