After the success of Yakuza 0 on PlayStation 4, I hope this move to PC enables it to reach more of an audience, because those titles have been delivering quality experiences since first appearing on the PlayStation 2.

Yakuza 0 is an eccentric, engaging and brutal game, perfectly adapted to the PC platform, as an excellent pass to a great saga.

Despite a complete brutalization of its dialogue by a Western localization team, Yakuza 0 still manages to pull through on both its charm and the kind of eccentric gameplay that the series has become renowned for by now. Yakuza 0 sets itself up as the place to start for newcomers, so its PC release is all the more sensible.

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 is a Japanese treasure rich in content, details, history and characters. A great game that is only slightly clouded by some outdated mechanics at my personal discretion and the one that is entirely in English. The amount of secondary activities, the plot, the soundtrack and its gameplay almost completely eclipse these shortcomings. A game that everyone should experience, whether or not it appeals to them.

A remarkable debut in all of its different aspects that will certainly be thanked for among those who are yet to test the franchise. It is a perfect conversion to PC that has undoubtedly earned SEGA some praise, although the lack of spanish language is still an issue.

The Yakuza series bursts onto PC in a promising, albeit imperfect debut.

Yakuza 0s slice of eighties Japan is gaudy, over the top and gloriously unashamed of itself in all the ways a majority of PC games aren't. The combination of fast paced combat, melodrama, comedy and mini-games provide a ton of fun for the asking price and the conversion from console to PC has been a resounding success. Absolutely worth your money and time.

No matter if you've played the rest of the Yakuza series and know it like the back of your hand, or you're just now getting started as a fledgling fan, Yakuza 0 is a must-play.

Yakuza 0 is one the best Yakuza games and it's a game that PC gamers should not miss. Fun and overflowing with content, Yakuza 0 allows players to discover Tokyo and Osaka's red light districts as they were during Japan's "bubble economy" years. SEGA Europe did a great job on this PC port as the game has never looked so good.

Comfortably the best, funniest and most heartwarming game about a desperate battle over real estate, now available on PC as a good port at a generous price.

On their own, each of the above could make for a decent game, but combined they make a whole which brings home the feeling of what the Yakuza series is.

Yakuza 0 is good enough that I regret not having played the other games. I plan to work my way through Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza Kiwami 2, however I fear I may never play Yakuzas three to five. Still, Yakuza 0 has room for improvement which leaves me hoping that the best is yet to come. I’ll be there for the next steps in Kiryu’s and Majima’s journeys, even if I don’t know their entire life stories. Not yet, anyway.

Everything you want in a Mafia game is there, and there aren't any lootboxes.
