Yakuza 0 Free Download Unfitgirl The plot of Yakuza 0 is served up like a fresh bowl of udon noodles; simmering, full of twists and turns, and satisfying to the end. While I very much enjoyed the bone-cracking street fights, numerous oddball side characters, and the Lonely Planet guide’s worth of entertaining diversions along the way, it’s really the taut tale of betrayal and the bitter arm wrestle for power at its centre that kept me glued to the controller throughout. Yakuza 0 is set in 1988 and serves as an origin story for two of the series’ most prominent characters, Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima, who find themselves caught up in a land war amongst rival clans. Whereas the previous game in the series, Yakuza 5, juggled five different storylines and felt somewhat convoluted as a result, Yakuza 0 benefits from focusing on the plights of Kiryu and Majima, each scorned by their respective families and whose paths ultimately converge in the end.It’s a gangster tale that adheres mostly to convention, with menacing mob bosses, car bombings, blackmail, and the like, but it’s a tale told well and told thoroughly. Much like the Metal Gear Solid series, Yakuza 0 isn’t afraid of taking control away from us for extended periods in order to deliver a lengthy cutscene to advance the plot and develop the characters, but I never felt in any way detached from the events onscreen thanks to the strong performances of the actors and the consistently powerful writing.

Later, I visit Osaka’s Shot Bar STIJL, and strike up a friendship with the bartender as he explains the love-it-or-hate-it charms of a 10-year-old bottle of Laphroaig. It’s rare to interact with an environment in such a grounded, low-key way. Elsewhere, the game leans into the dramatic, never more so than during its main story. In Tokyo, Kiryu, here a low level member of the Dojima crime family, is framed for murder. He soon discovers that he’s been set up by one of his family’s lieutenants as part of a convoluted plot to acquire a small plot of undeveloped land. In Osaka, Goro Majima, a former yakuza member, is trapped, forced to work off his debts as manager of a cabaret club. The action switches between Kiryu and Majima every couple of chapters, letting each character’s story build to an intriguing climax, before shifting gear, giving you time to ponder how the two threads will eventually intertwine.The final part of Yakuza’s tonal trifecta is its Substories, which are arguably the highlight. In most, you’ll be presented with an absurd situation, make a number of conversation choices, and punch someone until they stop. It’s a simple enough structure, but one that entertains throughout thanks largely to how silly it all is. You’ll help definitely-not-Michael Jackson shoot a music video by battling zombies as he dances down the street.

Off the beating path

Recent open-world releases struggle to compete when it comes to the sheer density of detail packed into Sega’s latest. Although the slightly wooden character animations serve as a reminder that this is a game developed to straddle console generations (the Japanese version was simultaneously released on PS3), Yakuza 0 otherwise manages to nail the look and feel of its Tokyo and Osaka-inspired settings. Recent open-world releases like Mafia III and Watch Dogs 2 might dwarf the maps of Yakuza 0 in terms of scale, but both struggle to compete when it comes to the sheer density of detail packed into every nook and cranny of Sega’s latest. The neon-soaked streets tread a fine line between gorgeous and garish, the Don Quijote discount stores are claustrophobic caverns of consumerism, and vendors on the street keep handing you pocket tissues for no apparent reason. While Yakuza 0’s retro setting isn’t exactly Grand Theft Auto: Vice City when it comes to revelling in ‘80s nostalgia, there are enough nods to the era to reinforce the sense of time and place – from the pagers used by the characters to the authentic Walkman billboards and the playable OutRun and Space Harrier games in the local arcades.The bulk of these optional activities are well realised and fleshed out with fun challenges to complete, and they range from the addictively simple reflex-testing batting cage to the relatively deep real estate business run by Kiryu in Tokyo and Majima’s hostess bar empire in Osaka.

The latter two management simulations in particular require a substantial time investment but yield maximum yen, and while I only scratched the surface of them on my way to completing the 30-hour story, I intend on returning to them in Yakuza 0’s post-credits ‘Premium Adventure’ mode in order to find out exactly how lucrative they can become.Of course, a more direct way of nabbing fistfuls of cash is by using your actual fists (and feet) to beat it out of the neverending supply of street thugs who engage you in a scrap on sight. Kiryu and Majima each have three different fighting styles that can be switched between on the fly, and I relished in the ability to tailor my technique to suit each individual scenario. For example, I found Majima’s button-mashing breakdancing stance that turns him into a human whirligig of spinning kicks to be perfect for carving through crowds of enemies, yet his baseball bat-toting slugger stance is a better choice for one-on-one boss fights where more powerful and direct attacks are required. Yakuza 0’s fighting system is wonderfully brutal, and the context-sensitive finishing moves offer an especially satisfying way to curb-stomp a shoe-shaped exclamation point into an opponent’s face at the end of each encounter. However, a somewhat piecemeal counter system means that for all its flashy moves, the all-in brawling is never quite as fluid as the one-on-many fighting experiences of the Batman: Arkham games, at least when it comes to transitioning back and forth between enemies.

Streets of Rage

This makes Yakuza 0 seem a little behind the curve in that regard, which is disappointing considering we’re now half a dozen games into the mainline of the Yakuza series. What Yakuza 0 does have in common with the Caped Crusader, though, is the fact that neither of these violent gangsters ever actually kills anyone. Each enemy that Kiryu and Majima dispatch is left to pick up their teeth rather than push up daisies, which is refreshing given that most open-world crime games are effectively exercises in casual mass murder. (Not that killing stops me from enjoying those games; it’s just nice to play something that approaches it differently for a change.) The general lack of killing in Yakuza 0 means that when certain character deaths do occur over the course of the story – whether they be good, bad, or grey – they land with significantly more impact. The first thing you do is beat up a gang of street thugs. The second thing? Before the hard-boiled conspiratorial crime drama unfolds, before a real estate turf war earns you hundreds of millions of yen, before you battle your way through the Japanese underworld, you sing karaoke. You tap your way through a rhythm action minigame; the dingy bar transforming into a concert stage as series lead Kiryu imagines himself in a leather jacket and bandana, rocking out to an ’80s power ballad.

Welcome to Yakuza 0, ostensibly an open world action game, but one that blends a beat-’em-up’s arcade brawling with a visual novel’s languid conversations, throws in a selection of weird and wonderful minigames, and wraps it all up in a world where the sublime meets the ridiculous and the ridiculous is sublime. Where one minute you’re fighting for your life, and the next you’re teaching a rookie dominatrix how to successfully humiliate perverts. Where, when you tire of trying to foil the callous plots of the rich and powerful, you can pop over to the arcade for a quick game of Outrun. Where you’ll sit at a bar and wax poetic about what it means to live outside of society, only to leave and run into a man wearing nothing but his underpants suggestively gyrating his hips. This is the sixth game in the Yakuza series, which primarily tells the story of the Dragon of Dojima, Kazuma Kiryu, a man for whom being good at punching people is both the cause and solution to all of life’s problems. It’s also a prequel, making it the perfect entry point for new players—handy, as this is the first game in the series to be ported to PC. Yakuza 0 is set in the ’80s, making it the start of Kiryu’s long story, and, other than a few veiled references to the future events of previous games, it does a great job of introducing the characters and the world.

Diversionary tactics

And what a world it is. The dual settings of Kamurocho (based on Tokyo’s Kabukicho district), and Sotenbori (based on Osaka’s Dōtonbori district) feel vibrant and real—a fascinating contrast of neon and grime that feels more true to life than many of the virtual cities I’ve visited. While there’s some low-res textures and noticeable aliasing, the scale and density of these spaces is remarkable. The way the buildings tower over you, and rubbish and debris spills out over the narrow streets, reinforces the immersion, creating a powerful sense of place. You’re free to explore; to visit stores and restaurants, to stumble into the strange encounters (called ‘Substories’) scattered liberally throughout, or to beat up the thugs and drunkards that pick fights with you. But you’ll rarely interact with the civilians swarming the streets. If anything, that heightens the immersion of the space. Where other open world games let you go on a cheeky murder rampage in your downtime, Yakuza 0’s open world is more restrained. It exists so you can play a few rounds of mahjong between missions, visit the convenience store to stock up on health replenishing drinks, or siphon your money into one of the vending machines in the hope of acquiring a new motor for your pocket circuit racing car.

In one mission, I’m asked to buy different types of alcohol to loosen the tongues of a group of homeless informants. I run between shops, picking up Carlsberg from the Poppo on Tenkaichi Street, and champagne from the Don Quijote on Showa Street—lodging the store’s earworm of a jingle firmly in my head for the next half an hour. Later, I visit Osaka’s Shot Bar STIJL, and strike up a friendship with the bartender as he explains the love-it-or-hate-it charms of a 10-year-old bottle of Laphroaig.
