About Yakuza 0

Yakuza 0 is an action-adventure beat 'em up and a prequel to the Yakuza series, set in 1988 Japan during the country's economic bubble era. The game follows two protagonists: Kazuma Kiryu in Tokyo's Kamurocho district and Goro Majima in Osaka's Sotenbori district. Players alternate between their stories as they navigate the criminal underworld, engaging in street fights using multiple switchable combat styles, managing businesses, and participating in a wide variety of side activities and minigames. The game is largely credited with bringing the long-running franchise to mainstream Western attention.

I played it right after finishing Witcher 3, expecting something similar in scope and got something completely different instead I ended up loving the tonal…

    Sotenbori es lo mejor que me dio este juego.

    Lo jugué durante una convalecencia larga, y las horas pasaron sin que me diera cuenta.

    Et cette histoire de convalescence, ça vous a pas donné envie de le comparer à Witcher 3, vécu dans les mêmes conditions ?

    Face à Skyrim ou Witcher 3, il joue une autre partition. Moins d'exploration libre, mais des combats bien plus nerveux et une histoire qui avance vraiment. Red Dead reste plus ample, mais je m'y suis moins amusé manette en main.

    Les combats restent nerveux mais la caméra en intérieur montre vite ses limites face à Red Dead.

  5. Jacquet46

    Ce qui m'a marqué c'est le contraste entre les deux personnages, vraiment complémentaires dans leur façon d'avancer. Après il y a des passages annexes qui traînent un peu en longueur, surtout au milieu du jeu. Ça n'empêche pas l'ensemble de bien fonctionner.

    Same, those side quests (all of them) ate my week.

    RogueLegend

    La bascule entre les deux protagonistes évite justement la lassitude que d'autres jeux du genre finissent par installer.
