tl;dr: 10/10

I first bought Yakuza 3 for PS3 years ago but didn't get far before I got bored and shelved it. Got Yakuza 0 through Humble Monthly and figured if it was a prequel to the original Yakuza, what better way to try and get reintroduced to the series and I couldn't have been happier. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and Sega have been perfecting the formula that has made this series so fantastic for over a decade now and it shows. Not only is the story and writing impeccable (including the great job at localizing it for western audiences) but the graphics and music are top notch as well. Aside from the main story, there are so many side stories and other random things to do even going so far as to just explore the city. The amount of detail that was put into Kamurocho and Sotenbori is mind blowing. Well worth it at full price but the game is old enough now that you can likely get it at a discount if you keep your eyes open.
