Dive into the seedy underground of organized crime in Sega's Yakuza 0 standard edition for the PlayStation 4. Set in 1988 Japan, this third-person action adventure game puts you in the middle of a gang war between two mob families. Sega's Yakuza 0 is an open-world crime spree where you fight your way through the story at your own pace.

Yakuza 0 is a mix of a Grand Theft Auto type world (albeit quite a bit smaller) with Sleeping Dogs type fighting (albeit a little more arcade-like). This description can tie to pretty much any Yakuza game released since Yakuza 3. However, having played both Yakuza 3 and 4, the fighting system has been fleshed out a bit more with different types of fighting styles that you can skill up. If you've never played a Yakuza game, fair warning, this game can get pretty graphic with the blood and gore (though Sega has now included an option for you to turn the bloodshed to only a mild amount) but if you can get passed that, you'll feel really gratified when you get out on to the streets and start to unleash some really devastating looking combos.
The story of the Yakuza games have always been stellar and this one is no different. Yakuza 0 is a prequel to the rest of the Yakuza games so this is a good place to start if you're new to the series as it'll flesh out the life of two of the main characters in the rest of the Yakuza games. As with all Yakuza games, expect A LOT of cut scenes and dialogue (think Final Fantasy). If cut scenes aren't for you, this isn't the game for you. The game also starts out a little bit slow but if you stick with it passed the tutorials and get an hour or so into the game, you won't be disappointed as it starts to speed up. You'll be enamored in the story and will soon find yourself staying up to play this game so that you can find out about the next part of the story!
I've been keeping up with the last few Yakuza games as they've come out in the United States and continually hoped for more Yakuza games to be localized as I loved both Yakuza 3 and 4 (PS3). To be honest, there wasn't much hype for Yakuza 0 out here in the States and I did not realize they were releasing a Yakuza game until about 2 months ago and I had it pre-ordered since I knew it was coming. I'm definitely not disappointed, it's a great buy for newbies to the Yakuza series and I'd say a must buy to diehard Sega Yakuza fans (though I probably shouldn't have to tell you to buy it if you're a diehard!).

It's rare to find a sequel that tinkers with what made the original fun and universally manages to make everything better, but Gravity Rush 2 did it.
Controls are smoother and more intuitive than either the original game or its PS4 port. Exploration is more fun as the maps became much less two dimensional. The addition of two new gravity styles allows you to mix up combat and exploration more. The sidequests are mostly semi-unique and manage to develop character, setting, or both in addition to giving you more things to do. Kat is still a breath of fresh air as a protagonist, and being joined by a fun character like Raven as her deuteragonist and foil makes the game even more enjoyable. The rest of the named cast are mostly two dimensional cliches, but still likable characters that you can't help feeling attached to.
All in all, a great second entry in what I hope will be an ongoing series. Highly recommended.
