Yakuza 0

That's rad.

classic

While the game way really entertaining up to a certain point (feels like a movie with some combat and minigames here and there), I suddenly felt a bit of dementia during a quest line: Where the hell have my quest items gone? And why is there fish instead in my inventory now? All while simply using the regular save points. Turns out: Something unknown may cause corrupting the game, or in the inventory of the savegames, and by the perspective of losing time and progress because the game has some severe bug, I put it away. It's especially nasty considering that there are sometimes lengthy intermissions and cutscenes and phases when you can only rely on invisible recovery points. Be warned.

This is without a doubt a well done game, and I enjoyed it. However I also quit mid-game even if I might be the perfect market. So if you find me in the middle of the praise please be aware that: 1. It is a long game, story heavy, with more than 15 hours of cutscenes. 2. Most encounters do not have voice acting. 3. Big parts of the gameplay are small fights that are generally quite easy. In the first third of the game you will be fighting many random encounter when you are wandering around. Think of the endless Zubat experience in the Pokemon games. 4. Fighting does not evolve that much during the game, other than unblocking a few moves. The rest of the game are minigames and a small amount of quick time events. It can get repetitive fast. 5. The maps are fine, but are not that interactive as the reviews would make you think. Cities are close to GTA San Andreas than Shenmue or TLoZ Majora's Mask. I definitely enjoyed and it wort the price. But I believe the game is niche, and I would not recommend it to everybody.

It's never too late to enjoy such a good franchise. And it's much cheaper when you buy the whole bundle. AND SEGA, WOULD YOU KINDLY PLEASE SELL MORE OF YOUR GAME HERE ON GOG!
