Critic Reviews
Yakuza 0 Review
Yakuza 0 is a big, bold and bruising tour through the Japanese underworld.
85%Mafia III But Good
Ignore the score and go play Yakuza 0 if you have a PS4. Seriously, forget the numbers. This game has a lot of flaws. It looks like absolute trash at points. It’s inconsistent between cutscene and gameplay, saying the charterers would never kill a man before having you snap twenty necks and shotgun a crowd of people. You’ll smack someone over the head with a bat in one corner of the room, then a cutscene will show you kicking them through a door on the other side of the room. You’ll be shot five times and not die because you took medicine. The cutscenes switch from a beautifully rendered movie quality scene to a weird game engine rendered bit where two characters feign human expressions. The dialogue is long and all in Japanese, so if you’re a slow reader (thank goodness I’m not) you’ll be spending a lot of time reading while Japanese voice actors yell “NANI??” at differing volumes. But play the game. Because everything you want in a Mafia game is there, and there aren’t any lootboxes.
