Yakuza 0 (PS4)

Graphics:Amazing, so detailed from every aspect.Sound:When switching your fighting stance it switches the music that puts you in the mood to smash over your opponents!Overall the sounds are decent and gives you that extra boost for more action to head your way.Now i do not speak japanese nor do i understand what they're saying but, i know they have the best voice acting.(No there is not english audio and yes there are english subtitles)Story:Cut scenes are really something to look forward to in this game, if you're like me it makes you literally care for the character, you are putting yourself in that suspense mode. i love the story so far, even the written dialogues away from cut scenes, i spend as much time reading these dialogues often finding myself laughing my butt off of course for the purpose of seeing how this is no different from reality it gives me the extra boost to unlock what other stories i can unravel.Gameplay:There's nothing not to like here and i mean literally nothing at all. This game works so smoothly even through so many figures popping in and out of your all seeing eye, no freezes no crashes nothing! Button works are perfectly fine, no clumsiness at all.My overall outlook:Yakuza 0 isn't just about fighting and running around, it's about story, politicking and helping others out within dialogues among all thatyou have fun things to do in between story and dialogues such as going to the arcade playing classic sega games, even beating up the biggest bully in the game to make some extra yens and of course not to mention making in game AI friends etc.There are so much skills to unlock and so much to do Yakuza 0 than meets the eye.I love this game so much so i'm actually disappointed i missed the release date of this game, i bought it way too late.it is indeed worth every penny. i have nothing bad to say about it and i'm looking forward for the next release!!I am actually referring this game to friends because in my books this game is well underrated and deserves more recognition and praises than it gets. Total 5/5 so if you're over 18 please do not pass this game up!

I feel it's definitely an acquired taste, personally I played a few chapters, put the game down and didn't play for over a year because I didn't enjoy it. Saying that, I did try it again and once you get into the story and gameplay, it's really good. It's just a case of getting through the early stages to uncover an absolute gem of a game.The story, characters, voice acting and amount of content is top notch. Gameplay, particularly the combat is hit and miss for me. Outside of the bosses, it's pretty much button mashing and be prepared for a hell of a lot of cutscenes and dialogue.Still it's a great game if you take the time to get into it properly.

This is the first Yakuza game I've played and I've since got Kiwami as well. Let's just say that this converted me to an instant fan overnight. Reasons for this?- Incredibly good, well written and voice acted story (all in Japanese with English subtitles, but given the setting this adds to the immersion)- Tight controls and fun core combat mechanics- An absurdist sense of humour used judiciously - the game knows when to be serious and when to be funny, and when it hits it hits- An incredibly small but atmospheric and well-detailed game world - my partner has literally visited and taken pictures of one of the locations that has been rendered for the game and it's spot on- A welcoming difficulty curve - never too easy or too hard for how far you are into the gameBut the main thing is this - you will never, *ever* run out of things to do in this game. This is one main story, about 100 little sub-stories (essentially side-quests) and god knows how many mini-games and amusing side activities. Off the top of my head, you can freely take part in: bowling, mahjongg, blackjack, poker, baccarat, managing a real estate empire, pool of various different kinds and game rules, baseball batting practise, telephone dating, dancing, karaoke, betting on (admittedly rather cringey) catfights, numerous different real-world arcade games which are fully playable (OutRun, Super Hang-on, Fantasy Zone, Space Harrier), slot car racing, running a cabaret club, fishing, and of course running around and beating the ever loving Christ out of any number of different enemies that are wandering around. Some of these are more fun than others (mahjongg in particular I could stand to never play again) but in general this is an incredibly deep and activity-filled game that has more than enough things to keep someone occupied. And bear in mind that this is all, as mentioned, *in addition* to the excellent and gripping story.I honestly cannot recommend this enough - despite it being a "bigger" game I can honestly say I had a great deal less fun with GTA5 than I did with Yakuza 0. Quality over quantity, I think!

Be aware that this sellers version is the playstation hits version and not what the original photo shows. This doesn't affect gameplay but if your like me I dont like the garbage red title. Game is surprisingly good I've never played a Yakuza game so I've been really enjoying it

Can't believe that no one has picked up on this but the Language is completely in Japanese, with no English spoken at all. Yes the subtitles are in English but this game has lots of talking, which means you have to constantly read the words. Take your mind off it for a little while and you miss the story. With so much dialogue to read I got bored with the game fairly quickly.
