    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I had a much better time in yakuza 0 than in this game. The combat in this game is infuriating in hard. And unlike a lot of people, I have never rated yakuza's story. Too much cliche.

    After the braindead car chase scene, this is a zero for me.    … Expand

    I'll be short. If you've searched around forums and discussion board, you may have heard about this infamous car chase scene.
    After spending 25 very enjoyable hours with the game, I was served with a long a tedious fight (takes about 10 to 15 minutes to go through) that ends... with the dread car chase scene. One of these shooter scenes that was popular in games a decade ago - god knows    I'll be short.

One of these shooter scenes that was popular in games a decade ago - god knows why, because they seem to only be frustrating. In this case, the shooter sequence is beyond frustrating, punishing to a fault, and may make you vomit as the camera keeps swinging to make things harder.
    I gave it a good try (10 attempts or so) but eventually, I gave up.
    No game is good enough to be worth going through such a pile of crap.
    Oh and did I mention you can't save at any point? So if you quit, you'll start the whole chapter from the beginning (the 15 minutes fight included).
    Dreadful and insulting.    … Expand

    Yakuza Kiwami, a 15-year update of the game that goes beyond the technical by introducing mechanics inherited from Yakuza 0.

    The plot and substories aren’t as involving as the prequel but Yakuza Kiwami is a much more introductory and inviting title; by being a bit more scaled-down it opens itself up to a much wider audience. If you missed out on Yakuza 0 when that released, start here instead.

    Entertaining remake of a classic game with well-known strengths and weaknesses, but nonetheless one of the best stories in the franchise.
