Yakuza Zero: The Oath's Place
Release Date: March 12, 2015
Another installment in the popular action game series, known as the Japan’s take on the Grand Theft Auto series. This time, the developers from SEGA created a prequel of the whole series, taking place in 1988, seven years before the events seen in the first installment. The plot of Yakuza 0 focuses on young Kazuma Kiryu, the series' protagonist, as he began his journey to become a legend in the Japanese underworld.
Yakuza Zero for PS4 and PS3 is a new installment of the popular action game series established in 2006 with a release on PlayStation 2, generally perceived as a Japanese response to the Grand Theft Auto series. Similarly to the previous installments and spin-offs, the game was developed by SEGA, with Yakuza Zero being a series’ debut on eight generation consoles.
When it comes to story, Yakuza 0 is a prequel of the whole series – we are taken to 1988, being a witness to events that happened seven years before the events shown in the first installment of the series. The game stars two protagonists: Kazuma Kiryu, a 20 year old member of the Tojo clan, and Majima Goro, a 24 year old businessman looking for action. The first hero dreams of making his mark on the Tokyo’s underworld while moonlighting as a debt collector, while the second one, even with a legal business working for him, searches for a way back to life of crime. The heroes meet while tensions rise as two hostile clans fight for domination over one of Tokyo’s districts.
The gameplay is similar to what we could experience in the previous installments of the series, and is based on the typical third person perspective model. However, Yakuza is characteristic for its complex combat system and specific atmosphere of metropolitan Japan. As a result, the game mixes steady, role-playing segments with dynamic pursuits, shootouts and brawls full of spectacular cut scenes. However, the leisure segments are also engaging, involving exploration of city streets, conversations with encountered characters, and completing numerous story missions. The world is open and exploration-friendly, full of additional activities that can be undertaken by our heroes. The game sports atmospheric visuals and since it’s located in Far East, we encounter a lot of eye-catching elements and distractions.

Yakuza (Japanese. Ryu ga Gotoku - Like a Dragon) is a series that began as TPP action adventure games, while in 2020 began a love affair with the jRPG genre. The essence of gameplay in productions under this banner are spectacular clashes, in which we mostly use our own fists, white weapons such as clubs or samurai swords, as well as elements of the environment, such as trash cans or bicycles. Firearms are present, but usually do not play a major role. The protagonists have numerous fighting styles, which we can upgrade. Of great importance are impressive finishers, in which opponents are eliminated in a particularly impressive way.

“The industry has gone to the dogs”. “This is the worst year in video games ever”. ”Gotta find a new hobby”. We’ve seen tons of similar comments lately. Meanwhile, it doesn’t take much to find out that 2017 was in fact a great year for gamers.
Seven installments of the Yakuza series have been released on GOG. Gamers have noticed that the credit roll is missing key developers and even entire studios that developed the PC ports.

IGN: 8.5 / 10 by Tristan Ogilvie
Yakuza 0 is another sprawling entry in the open-world series, packed with an extraordinary amount of things to do and centred around a genuinely compelling crime story. Since it’s a prequel, it’s also unburdened by the series’ increasingly intricate backstory and thus far more approachable for newcomers than the last few Yakuza games. While its melee combat may lag slightly behind modern genre standards, Yakuza 0 still hits far more than it misses and is a big, bold and bruising tour through the Japanese underworld.
Easy Allies: 4 / 5 by Ben Moore
GamesRadar+: 4 / 5 by David Roberts
While a bit disappointing on the mini-game front, Yakuza 0 remains as strange and charming as ever, with the best story and combat the series has seen in years.
