For The Love Of God, Play Yakuza 0 Before The Amazon Show Drops
1.10.2024

Yakuza 0 Is Rough Around The Edges And That Makes It Great
23.7.2024
I’m fairly late to the Like a Dragon party. To date, the only games I’ve played are Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Infinite Wealth, Gaiden, and the spinoff, Judgment. They’re all great games and I’ve enjoyed sinking hundreds of hours into the series across all of them, but I think the most interesting...
