There has been no better time to jump into the Yakuza series than with this prequel to the iconic open-world action franchise. Yakuza 0 is a totally singular spin on the action RPG genre, a ridiculous, hilarious, action-packed and surprisingly involving crime saga that's rightly won the series a new fleet of fans.

From the ridiculous abundance of side content to the highly entertaining cast of characters (there's even a guy called "Walking Erection", seriously) and smash-mouth combat, Yakuza 0 presents incredible value-for-money, and no doubt leaves many salivating for this summer's upcoming remake of the original Yakuza game.

If you were on the fence about the series, now is the time to give it a whirl. You won't regret it.
