As someone who has never played a Yakuza title before.. 0 is a tonne of fun.

An amazing and intriguing story set in the 80's underworld with a bunch of fantastic characters and a tale that is shaping up to be something epic, Yakuza 0 is also whacky as hell, it is a strange mix between serious and weird but it just, works.

The face thumping brawling and light RPG mechanics are wonderful too, being in depth but not too convoluted that you get bogged down in too much detail.

The city is a joy to explore, heaps of activities to get lost in and side quests aside from the main story missions.

If you have never played or know basically nothing about the Yakuza series, then you are in for a real treat with 0 and It'll knock your socks off like a kick in the face from Kiryu in beast mode down an alley way.
