After tons of hype and recommendation from my friends, I picked up this game last year not fully sure what I was getting myself into, and I'm forever grateful that I did. A unique game filled to the gills with entertaining content with droves and droves of story to boot. Without spoiling anything, all characters are written masterfully, and the story is fantastic.

As many others have said, you couldn't ask for a better prequel/chronological start to a franchise. A must-buy, to the point, that I even picked up Yakuza Kiwami right after finishing Zero.
