An absolute classic crime drama. The good: The bubble-era vibes. I moved to Japan in the mid-90's, and despite being 10 years after the events of the game, the Kabuki-cho and Dotombori vibes in Yakuza 0 are miraculously spot-on. Though the actual Tokyo and Osaka geography is much simplified and altered, the atmosphere is absolutely what it was like in my memories. The main story. Precisely what you want from a good pulp-fiction yakuza movie. Honor, betrayal, revenge, heartbreak. I puddled up on occasion. The side stories. Mostly comic relief from the very serious main story. Horny, silly and sometimes satirical. Also entirely optional. The side activities. Want to put the main story on hold and just sell real estate or run a hostess bar? Knock yourself out. Good at Japanese board games? You can play go, Japanese chess or hanafuda. Go to the arcade and play Space Harrier or a crane game. There're batting cages, slot car racing bouts, karaoke and dance contests - the list of mini-games is frankly mind-boggling. The voice acting. They've got actual actors known for roles in Japanese yakuza films. It's all as good as it gets if you like manly gangster scenery chewing. The combat is fun and you can either button mash, or spend the time (and money) to develop strategies and a build that you like. Difficulty levels. Abilities skill trees are cool and you've got three to choose from for each character. The meh: I'm still unclear how equipment and weapon slots work, why some items I'd expect to do something seem to do nothing, what weapon degradation means and loads of other little things. I was able to get through combat with basic hand to hand skills and 'genki drinks', so it didn't matter than much, but I really was hoping to get a better handle on what stuff actually does for you. There are a few too many random fight encounters. There are a LOT of cut scenes, especially towards the end. If this bothers you, it might be a dealbreaker. The final scene/battle goes on for a very long time without an opportunity to save. As you approach the ending, make sure you have a solid 2-3 hours free, because you'll need it. The verdict: Since this game is no longer on Steam because of the remastered version, I'm pretty sure almost no one will see this review. But this is hardly an objective critique anyway. I lived in Japan for 14 years, and plan to retire there, but in the meantime I have this love letter to the Japan I knew back in the day. Yakuza 0 is a beautiful, heartfelt nostalgia bomb for me on many levels. It's a game I could spend 100s of hours in to fully take advantage of, and I'm almost sad that I felt the necessity to move through the game at a brisk pace so that I could tackle the rest of the games in the series.

Pendant que les studios occidentaux passent leur temps à se demander s'ils n'offensent personne avec des personnages lisses, les Japonais nous balancent Yakuza 0. Un retour pur et dur dans les années 80, à l'époque de la bulle économique, où l'argent coulait à flots et où les jeux vidéo assumaient d'être du divertissement brut sans faire la morale. Pourquoi ce jeu met une claque à 95% de la production actuelle : Une histoire de vrais bonhommes : Kiryu et Majima ne sont pas là pour faire des thérapies ou pleurnicher. Ce sont des darons charismatiques embarqués dans un scénario de yakuzas digne des meilleurs polars mafieux. Honneur, trahisons, loyauté : c'est viril, épique, et le scénario te tient en haleine du début à la fin avec une vraie intensité. Un monde qui se fout de la bienséance : Bienvenue dans le Japon de 1988. Entre deux missions ultra-sérieuses, tu vas gérer un bar à hôtesses, draguer sur des lignes de téléphone rose, parier sur des combats de catch féminin en petite tenue ou tabasser des pervers dans la rue. Va demander à un studio californien de pondre ça aujourd'hui, ils font une syncope instantanée. De la baston de rue viscérale : Fini les combats mous. Ici on castagne des racailles à mains nues avec des styles jouissifs, et on n'hésite pas à exploser un scooter, un panneau ou un canapé directement sur la tronche d'un mec au sol. C'est violent, ça pète des dents, et c'est putain de gratifiant. C'est le jeu parfait pour se rappeler pourquoi on a commencé à jouer aux jeux vidéo quand on était gamins. Une masterclass totale qui mixe le drama criminel le plus sombre avec l'humour le plus décomplexé, prouvant que quand on se concentre sur l'histoire, le gameplay et le fun au lieu de l'agenda politique, on sort des légendes intemporelles.

The writing in Yakuza zero is genuinely mind blowing. I honestly can’t recall when was the last time I was this much invested in a story. Even with how long the game is, the narrative never ceases to amaze me. Yet, unlike many video games with a heavy emphasis on storytelling, Yakuza zero is a video game through and through. The game acknowledges that it’s a video game and goes wild with it. It has so much memorable and hilarious side content, with a fun and engaging combat system. Truly one of its kind.

Yakuza 0 has it all. Good story, fun gameplay, good graphics, awesome OST, tons of minigames, the list goes on. Also it plays great on the Steam Deck.

Yakuza 0 is hands down one of the greatest games ever created. The gameplay and graphics are a little bit dated but everything else makes up for it. The combat is awesome and one of the best in the series at least until they changed the engine, both of the protagonists are loveable and iconic accompanied by an extremely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ compelling storyline and there's millions of side activities you can do that can stretch the game's length to over 60 hours even. An absolute must play. 10/10

Thank god I stumbled upon this game. Better late than never. I genuinely didn’t expect Yakuza 0 to pull me in this much. I laughed my ass off at some moments, cried at others, and somehow went from being emotionally destroyed by the story to searchimg some guy's pants five minutes later The story, characters, music, side quests, and absolutely unhinged Japanese humor are all amazing. I also love how this game can go from a genuinely heartbreaking and serious story to the most ridiculous ♥♥♥♥ imaginable without it ever feeling out of place. One minute I'm emotionally devastated, the next I'm running a cabaret club or getting involved in some insane side quest There were genuinely moments where I had to put the game down because I was crying, and there were others where I was laughing at my screen like an idiot. That's probably the best thing I can say about it. My mom liked to watch me playing it too lol Only wish I had discovered this game sooner. Now I guess I have no choice but to play the entire series

ABSOLUTE CINEMA !!!! On m'a vendu ce jeu comme étant une pure dinguerie et honnêtement je pense qu'on lui faisais pas assez honneur. Que ce soit le gameplay, les visuels, les musique ET SURTOUT l'histoire, c'était une sacrée expérience que je ne peux que recommander à tout le monde. Y aller sans rien connaitre du jeu est la meilleure chose à faire, le scénario est vraiment fou et vous allez vivre des moments fous, j'ai trop hâte de me faire les prochains jeux !
