Favorite Game

My favourite game is Yakuza 0, the game follows the backstories of 2 future yakuza members as a prequel of the "Yakuza" game series.

The first of these 2 men is Kazuma Kiryu (pictured below), hes the primary protagonist of the Yakuza series. Hes a cliche badass hero who never losses but hes so cliche that he actual becomes a fresh character that makes fun of its own unoriginality, ultimately becoming original. The second of these characters is named Goro Majima, although he's tame and unappealing for the majority of this game he is known as a completely unpredictable lunatic in the rest of the series, and has become a huge fan favourite because of it. What makes him so interesting in Yakuza 0 however is that we see the transformation of Majima from an unspectacular and plain character to one of the biggest cult favourites in modern video game history.

The game features moments of comedy at the most random points, as is the hallmark of the Yakuza series, but what sets Yakuza 0 apart is its brilliant storytelling and its showcasing of the transformation the 2 main characters went through before becoming some of the most beloved characters in modern gaming.
