Yakuza 0 - Game Review

                       


The Yakuza series, with its size and number of games, can overwhelm many of us. However, once we get past the initial phase of fear and dive into its world, we see a title that is simply brilliant. For those unfamiliar with the series, the best way to describe it is a beat-em-up where fists, bicycles, signs, or other everyday objects found on the streets of Kamurocho are truly everywhere. And the whole experience is complemented by an amazing storyline, with each chapter gripping us completely. Moreover, not without reason, many refer to the whole series as a "soap opera for men," and just like any good soap opera, it has its beginning, and here, "Yakuza 0" is the place where we should start our adventure with it.

Code Vein - Review







If I had to describe in one sentence what Code Vein is, I would say "A good Souls-like in anime style". And I could end the whole review here, however, Code Vein still tries to differentiate itself a little, to do a few things differently, such as the post-apocalyptic world we are thrown into, the way of narration and the story typical for anime, or the fact that we have a companion at our disposal, so we never fight alone. All these elements make the title have enough of its own "personality" to try it out and enter the world of frustration. Yes, I said frustration because Souls-like games are just that. Let he who did not want to throw the controller out the window playing, for example, Elden Ring, cast the first stone (godskin duo, I still hate you)
