So I decided to grab Yakuza Zero when it was on sale on the PSN. I have no experience

with this series and found it daunting to try and get into it due to the sheer number of games.

People seem to say either release order OR this game are OK to start with so here I am!

Fair warning, Yakuza 0 or perhaps the series in general really lives up to its age-rating

and has a high amount of violence+mature themes compared to the games I usually play.

I also kind of knew these type of games aren't for me... but I still wanted to try it.

Pro's

- Interesting story that comes together really well.

- A lot of optional content, ranging from minigames to fun sidestories and area management.

- Decent graphics, music fit the vibes.

Con's

- The contrast between main and sub stories can be jarring.

- At times it became more of an interactive movie, especially at the end.

- Edit; Not being able to save anywhere; only at telephone poles.
