Customer Ratings & Reviews

An excellent game, with lots to do. Only gripe is not having every text voiced, but that is me being spoiled by the Witcher 3. An excellent game otherwise.

If you like open world fighting driving and shooting games this is for you tons of open world action thrilling story mode and much more

This serves as a prequel to previous games. It is still as whacky as the others. Open world with lots of fighting and cutscenes.

Def in my top 10 list. This game is amazing and the best part is you don't need to have played any of the other Yakuza games. Tho i recommend that you do.

Fun game. Definitely worth checking out and a good way to start the yakuza series.

Great reboot of classic series, this one is also perfect to start for newcomers into series (prequel to the storyline of other chapters).

even though i do not know japanese i still enjoy the story, thank god for subtitles.

A prequel in the Yakuza series, it's a fantastic game both as an entry to the series and as a title that can stand on its own. A definite must own.

This series is a great one and I honestly believe it's one game anyone with a PS4 should play. There's something for everyone

While this game is technically a prequel, the gameplay feels more refined than the first games and is appropriately challenging. Highly reccomend

This is one of the best entries in the whole series of Yakuza. Huge open world and varied game play with an 80's style.

This is one of my favorite series!! I have played them all and this is my favorite! I caught it on a deep discount at Best Buy. Get it now!

My favorite Yakuza game so far. Awesome storyline and gameplay is superb. If you new to this series, this is the best way to start

I knew what I was getting into when I bought this game and it is everything I could have hoped for and more. There is so much to do in the city sections that it just doesn't feel old. It's like if you're going through a regular City. Plus all the sub stories just make everything lived in and you will not run out of things to do. Yes this game is a crime drama but it has so much more goofy stuff.

This was my first game in the Yakuza series, and after playing it, I would say it's a pretty good entry point for anyone else who hadn't played the games released earlier. The biggest selling point here is the level of quirkiness you simply don't get from big-budget North American games. The trend last generation and for much of this current one has been to tell a deathly serious story with somber main characters. It's refreshing to see a healthy dose of humor sprinkled throughout an at-times serious story. There's plenty to like here in terms of side content, all guaranteed to have that signature Japanese charm. I will say that combat feels somewhat loose and unrefined, especially coming off of triple-A games. However, that's just a small part of this overall package.

The Yakuza series keeps getting better. Along with the Kiwami remakes, this prequel is great for anyone new to the series.

Just a warning: the game is in Japanese with English subtitles. The story is very engaging but the gameplay isn't the best. It's a very "Japanese" game. If you're not too much into the culture, I'd recommend watching some reviews first.

Tied with Yakuza 7 for best in the Yakuza series! Awesome game!

so much to do in this game well worth it. does get repetitive with all the fighting that you have to do. but a game I will highly recommend!

This game takes place before all the others in the Yakuza series. You can play as Kiryu or Majima depending on where you are in the story. Really fun game all in all and a lot of side quests to keep you busy.
