Since it's a new year I would like to share a not so known game that recently blew off here in the West recently. Yakuza.
Yakuza is like Sleeping Dogs or GTA but with more RPG elements and is also played in Japan. So, you'll get to know the Japanese culture better, you can do almost everything from singing karoake to the weird stuff like finding a naked guy that will help you find girls for your cabaret club, you can basically do almost everything. It's a rather small map but with a ton of content.
There are 7 main games (Yakuza 0,1,2,3,4,5,6) and then there is 3 spin offs. The newest one Yakuza 6 made an upgrade to the engine which made it look beautiful. But if you are new to franchise.
You have to play Yakuza 0 since it's the start of the franchise basically. In Yakuza, you play as the protagnist Kiryu Kazuma and follow his adventure through the Yakuza clan called the Tojo Clan, there are different factions in that clan called families. I don't want to spoil too much but it's a great game to play. The story will take you a minimum of 30+ hours if you rush it or will take you 100+ hours if you wanna do all the side quests and different activites. They have also remade Yakuza 1 and Yakuza 2 and they called it Yakuza Kiwami 1 and 2,they are also planning on remastering Yakuza 3-5.
The story is one if the most interesting stories I have ever heard of and the side quests are just as good, they can be really fun or really sad at times.
I have said so many good things about the game but let's talk the negatives. The game can get really reptieve but there are some versatile fighting styles and moves and also as I said eariler the map is really small. But the biggest con I have to say is that since it's a Japanese game. You will be reading. A lot. So if you don't like that. Don't play the game. You'll hate it.
Welp. That's it I guess. I just thought I'd share the game with you guys. Yakuza 0 is avaliable on PC and PS4. If it was a shitshow of a post. Here's the lanuch trailer for the game.
