My Yakuza 0 review got banned from steam cause I said something really funny in it so here's what i think of the game:

This game is phenomenal. It is an action packed thrill with phenomenal stakes that never slows down. Every character in this game is brilliant, the obvious standouts being Majima, Nishiki and the Dojima Lieutenants. This game finally gives us an origin to Majima and it adds a whole new layer of complexity to the character that was not shown before. Same applies to Nishiki, Yakuza 1 didn't really go into his character a lot, but this game does, and not only does it make Nishiki a way better character, it also makes what happens in that game hurt a lot more. Out of the 3 lieutenants, Kuze is obviously the best, mainly because he starts out as just a regular thug that you have to take down, but as the game continues and we earn more about his origins and motivations, we start to understand him. Awano, while not being as good as Kuze, still stands out for the same reasons as Kuze. Shibusawa is easily the worst out of the three lieutenants, mainly because he has no real motivations as he's just the regular mastermind who wants to get to the top.

The combat in this game is also very good. It works very well in long battles and it works alright for bosses. Comboing bosses can be a bit difficult because, at least if you're hitting them from behind, most of the time they'll turn around after a few hits, but even if that fails you still have wall-bounding which works very well. In reality, i believe there is nothing wrong with the combat, aside from the fact that quick-change clothes are necessary to play this game properly, and also the fact that Kiwami did it better. The combat is also very satisfying in this game, if you've played it you know what I'm talking about. Majima's combat, while being very gimmicky, is still good and very fun to play in my opinion.

If you do decide to play this as your first Yakuza game, be prepared to get addicted (and spend your life savings on these games)

Also here's my ranking for all the Yakuza games (subject to change)

S tier:

Lost Judgment - Amazing story, amazing antagonists, best fighting mechanics
Peakuza 3 - Great story, Mine, simplistic yet very fun combat
Yakuza 0 - Great story, great characters, good combat
Judge eyes- Amazing story, the judge men are standouts, good combat

A tier:

Yakuza: Like a Dragon - really good story and great characters
Yakuza Kiwami 2 - great combat, boring story, Ryuji carries this game hard
Yakuza 5 - good story and theme, really fun fighting styles
Yakuza 6: The Song of Life - really good story, brilliant ending and an alright fighting style
Yakuza Kiwami - alright(?) story, second best fighting mechanics
Yakuza 4 - messy story, really fun fighting styles

Mid tier:

Like a Dragon: Gaiden: good story, horrible combat, not worth $50
