#YAKUZA 0 CIRCUIT RACER PS4#
This game is easily one of the best titles in the PS4 library, and a great introduction to the wider Yakuza/Ryu Ga Gotoku series. Maybe 18+ with the more sexual themes, but you can always just tell your kid not to go to those substories/places. TL/DR: Amazing game with amazing story, though the game is 13+ in my opinion. So far I'm about to start Yakuza 3 and I regret not doing it sooner!! They also have other related games like Lost judgement, Yakuza dead souls, Ishin, and other smaller games. There's a lot in the series, the order being Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami 1/ Yakuza, Yakuza Kiwami 2/ Yakuza 2, Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4, Yakuza 5, Yakuza 6, Yakuza 7, and soon to be Yakuza 8. And if you like it, be sure to try out the other, equally amazing games. If you get this game, prepare yourself for an emotional journey. This is a game about life, with the amazing highs and the heartbreaking lows. When I first played I thought the game was messy, unorganized, and all over the place. Seeing them have fun and make friends in the substories and a little bit of the main story gets us hooked in, and so those low moments hurt so much more. Seeing our main characters have these terrible low moments hurts so bad because we get attached to them. I could never predict what would happen next, and the story always kept my on my toes wondering "who's going to die next?" The major character deaths felt major, and I cried multiple times. The main characters have so much personality, and getting to see them interact with all these other characters is great.
This is a phenomenal game with a phenomenal story. No spoilers ahead, im just saying why this is an amazing choice for adults and teens alike.
#YAKUZA 0 CIRCUIT RACER SKIN#
It doesn't show full nudity, but you can see a lot of skin at times, and can even watch in-game 'pornography.' Luckily these videos are just soft and have no nudity, but they're still suggestive and definitely not for kids. A decent amount of alcohol, but no moments of our protagonist being a drunk creep (although there are a few drunk creeps in this game.) Swearing is pretty fine I guess, it doesn't have slurs so it's fine by my rules. There aren't intense drugs like heroine and meth, just basic smoking. The violence is pretty intense, with blood splatters and brutal combat moves, but there's no guts and no overly brutal murders. Yes, this game has violence, drugs, alcohol, swearing, and sexual themes.
#YAKUZA 0 CIRCUIT RACER SERIES#
I just feel like the story is one of the best parts of the Yakuza series and you need to be pretty mature to understand it fully.įirst of all, let's discuss the mature stuff and get that out of the way. If it weren't for the complex story and all the cutscenes and dialogue, I'd say teens 14-15 could probably handle it. While none of them show full nudity, they do show real women in revealing outfits.Īll in all, I think this game is better off being played by teens 16 and up. There are also erotic videos that you can watch. Libido are quite perverted and will talk sexually very often.
Now when it comes to sexual themes, there are quite a few NSFW elements in this game. The violence isn't at the same level as games such as Mortal Kombat or Manhunt, but it still can be quite brutal at times. While you can't cut limbs off or dismember your enemies, there are lots of brutal things you can do in this game such as repeatedly smashing your opponent's head against the wall, shoving your opponent's head into a car and slamming the door closed on their neck, as well as much more. Do not get me wrong though, Yakuza is packed full of action which brings me to my next point. While none of these bothers me, younger kids tend to have a lot less patience with video games. The story can also be hard to understand for younger players. The game is also in Japanese, so you have to read subtitles. The game will probably be boring to younger audiences as there are lots of long cutscenes and tons of dialogue. That being said, I think this game is better suited for teens ages 16 and up. Yakuza 0 as well as all the other Yakuza games are a must-play in my opinion.
