Each edition of So I Tried... I will try a game that I have never tried before. Will I find something new to love? Will I find something new to despise? I'll take a full half hour, no matter how bad it gets or how badly I do, to see if this is the game for me. The Steam Summer Sale having been less than a month ago, I'm now left with a stack of games that I need to get through at some point or another. This time around, I gave Yakuza 0 a fair shot, having heard high praise from close friends.
What I thought it was
Goofy dialogue, lots of mini-games, a bit like a more energetic Shenmue. I'd seen glimpses of Yakuza 0 through gameplay and discussion, but not enough to get a proper picture as to what I was looking at. I was initially disinterested as I felt I had a lot on my plate with games already, especially with Yakuza 0 being a prequel to a long running series dating back to 2005. My friend gifted me the game during the Steam Summer Sale, which was what convinced me to give it a try eventually.
What it actually is
