“For a game that's closing in on a decade old, it holds up well. I have to criticize some of the cutscenes for being lackluster in expression, but I understand that we can't have everything. You don't need a beefy PC to…”

“Yakuza 0 was my entry into the series, and after playing almost all of the other titles, I can without a doubt say this one is my favorite. It has the best story and the most side content/minigames (besides infinite…”
“This one is a masterpiece. The story is amazing and there is plenty of enjoyable side content. The combat is enjoyable but I mostly ended up playing it as a beat-em-up even though there are lots of moves available. Some…”

“Simply amazing. If you loved the Shenmue games, this is a great spiritual successor to that series. I do wish that the side quests were easier to find as they tend to be really interesting but some will see this as more…”

“Please don't downvote this game just because a bunch of d**khead corporate knob goblins at Sega decided it was better to delist a classic game and force feed us a rebranded new one with a higher price. F**k you Sega.…”
“Yakuza 0 is one of the best in the franchise, if not THE best. It got me into the series back in 2020 and I've been hooked since. PLEASE GET THE ORIGINAL YAKUZA 0 EITHER PHSYICAL ON PS4 OR DIGITALLY ON GOG. DO NOT PAY…”

“Its a decent game a decent Yakuza game. Recomended. I would not suggest to play it first of the saga as some recomend. I would recomend to play it when was launch, after Y5, this will give a better perspective and feel…”

“This game is great. A fantastic main story, fun substories (for the most part--they do lean a little too much into the minigames), and good combat once you get the hang of the system. Like Yakuza Like A Dragon there is…”

“[h3] This is another great Yakuza game, And Yes, you can start the Yakuza series with this one, but you wont get the most out of it. I recommend playing in release order, including the two PS2 titles and the best versions of those two are the “Restored” ones (You can find them…”
— a player, Steam review · 79 hrs played“Please, SEGA. Just bring back this one out of delisting limbo. The original Yakuza 0 is widely considered the superior way to experience the game's story, despite the release of the Director's Cut in late 2025, the original story is considered more cohesive. Most critics of the…”
