Yakuza 0

You either give up within first few hours of Yakuza 0 or you enjoy every single second of it and buy all Yakuza games on Steam. There's no in-between.
9/10

A list of what I did in my second ever play session of this incredible game

- load the game
- go through some story cutscenes
- disregard all story focus and go to the disco
- dance to friday night about 6 times
- do a dance battle with some guy
- decide thats enough dancing and go do karaoke
- spend about 10,000 yen on karaoke
- go for another look around and meet this guy who wants me to see if his girlfriend is selling herself, she is conveniently often seen on the street with the erotic video viewing shop
- decide to go play pool instead of doing that
- get stopped and searched by a police officer
- get mugged by the men in black and beat them up, repaying the money lost by karaoke
- go play puzzle pool (you have to pot a marked ball in a challenge setup in a single shot)
- lose said game and lose several million yen as a result
- play darts and actually somehow win
- decide to go and see if i can find this guys girlfriend
- go into the shop and it plays an actual irl video of this japanese woman in a bathtub in a bikini
- kiryu jacked off to that and i got an achievement

A lot of people praise this game for it's great story, absurd amount of detailed mini-games, and hilarious side quests - all very true. For me, one of the most amazing things is how they didn't license any 80's music for disco and karaoke. Instead, they literally just made a dozen or so original tracks for the game which are legitimately so good, they could easily pass as being pop hits from the 80's.

This game teaches you that a bicycle is the perfect weapon when you're about to get jumped by 20 thugs.
And if that doesn't work, break dancing will do the trick. 10/10.

Don't play this game you're gonna end up playing them all and loving every single one of them (yes, including Yakuza 3, my beloved)

Two Hours In: Eh, it's kinda fun, but I don't really see why people are going so crazy about it

100 hours later:

GAN GAN KAZEGUZE!!!

Pros:

+ Very fun open world sandbox game with a decently satisfying combat system (albeit with a lot of you getting knocked on your ass at first and having to mash the "get up" button while you're still learning what not to do).
+ The minigames are genuinely entertaining as well, and for the most part entirely optional too!
+ Story is pretty good as well! Everyone puts in a really stellar vocal performance, even if I can't understand a word they are saying
+ Has Majima

Cons:
- It ends eventually :(

9/10, easy recommendation!
