Yakuza 0 Reviews
Nothing is more humiliating to a Yakuza member than pummelling them with a teapot
Fantastic entry point into this stylish and crazy franchise, that introduces players to Kazuma Kiryu and other key players.
Who knew the yakuza spent so much time singing karaoke?
Yakuza 0 takes it back to where it all began, but a mildly interesting setting and story don’t quite make up for the game’s more tedious elements.
If you missed out on the Yakuza series thus far, for whatever reason, now is probably the best time to jump onto the bandwagon. Yakuza 0 is a little dramatic, a lot of weird, and a ton of fun. There is no better time to give it a shot than the present.
Yakuza 0 shows how the series has evolved over the years and adds a new layer of depth to each of the characters. Each side quest story has a wonderful payoff. Overall, I'd say Sega did a wonderful job creating a well written and designed game. I highly recommend it to old and newcomers to the series.
To play Yakuza 0 is to deeply fall in love with its characters and world; a challenge that many games try to conquer, but only a handful ever manage to actually achieve.
Serious, hilarious, serious, hilarious. Yakuza 0 segues between those two adjectives surprisingly well in a poignant narrative with fluid gameplay. It is the perfect opportunity for PC gamers to finally invest hours of their lives in the world of Yakuza.
Yakuza 0 is an easy recommendation for PS4 and PS4 Pro owners alike. A strong story, activities aplenty, and solid core combat, it’s the perfect start to gaming in 2017. Essential for PS4 owners and for the rest, a perfect reason to get one.
Yakuza 0 is an amazing start to 2017, with great combat, an engaging story and so many activities you won’t know what to do yourself. If you’re a fan of the series, you won’t want to skip on this entry. Even if you’ve never played the series, you’d be doing yourself a disservice by not playing it. It’s a must have for people who love video games, and a great way to start the New Year.
It may take a while to get going at first for new players, but get over that first hour of pretty much just cutscenes and the game completely opens up into one of the finest examples of storytelling in gaming. This, along with the sheer abundance of side activities and people asking for a punch, makes Yakuza 0 an exquisite game, and a perfect benchmark for newcomers to dive straight into.
It is a huge package of value that seemingly never stops giving.
Yakuza’s first foray onto PS4 is nothing short of great and the future is shining bright for the series.
With a long, but interesting and engaging story, side content on top of side content and fun brawling gameplay, Yakuza 0 is a great game that is definitely worth the price. While gameplay could be a bit smoother between transitions and the story can feel like it's dragging a bit, there's still plenty to appreciate.
Yakuza 0 is the best episode ever made in the SEGA brand, despite a troubled development process and its cross-gen nature. Thanks to mature and emotional storytelling, some great characters and a huge variety of content, the gameplay of this RPG is really unique. Unfortunately, the lack of an Italian localization could be a serious problem for those who are not comfortable enough with spoken English.

If there is one game you decide to take a chance on this year, please let it be Yakuza 0 - a game that is as fun and intelligent as it is silly and violent.
Whether you are a first time Yakuza player or a series veteran, Yakuza 0 impresses on multiple levels. If you are looking for a new action-packed adventure, go pick up Yakzua 0 and see what all the hype is about.
Yakuza 0 is a total gem which now is released on PC too and this bold choice of SEGA could make the audience of this series broader. This is the best chance to visit the world of Yakuza if you're not familiar with this series yet.

Yakuza 0 is a fantastic journey through the seedy underbelly of the '80s in Japan. The game’s strong narrative core, filled with memorable characters, is the perfect driving force between engaging combat, memorable sidequests, and time-devouring minigames.
A unique and refreshing experience compared to other open world games, whether it's the 80s setting, its various quests and the way it mixes seriousness with plenty of comedy or the brutal but never malicious fighting system. The only flaws are the somewhat low budget feel, but for those looking for something different, this is an excellent choice whether they’re new to the series or a veteran.
