So they Delisted the original game, DELETED MY REVIEW, released a PAID "upgrade" and buried this one? Stupid corpo doing stupid corpo stuff... nevertheless, this is the ONLY version I will ever own and play. Worst case scenario, I'll raise the black flag. I ain't gonna buy some fake upgrade version.
Great game. Took me a few tries to get into, but once it clicked, it took over my free time. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and above all else, Yakuza 0 is an incredibly fun video game.
it's melodramatic, sincere and endlessly charming. the humor, the thing we always share and talk about? that makes the game for me too, it's about juxtaposition, the contrast between heartfelt drama and absolute nonsense(that makes sense) in characters life. yakuza 0 was a masterpiece to me! one moment you're laughing at something ridiculous, the next you're watching everything collapse under the weight of life. a amazing tale that one never forgets.
