I sincerely believe that this game is one of the greatest video games ever made. Packed to the brim with content and a beautiful main story with several crescendos. Set in Osaka and Tokyo in the 80's, Yakuza 0 feeds off of its endearing and ridiculous nature in the best way possible. The game regularly goes on sale as well, I highly suggest it to everyone who is looking to play an immersive RPG game with great visuals, characters, dialogue and fun as hell gameplay.

PS: The minigames included in this game could very well be it's own game and I would still buy it and play it, so make sure you leave no stone unturned in both cities and check them out.

Monster Hunter: World encapsulates how a triple A title should present itself perfectly. The atmosphere, mechanics, monsters, weapons, armor and every other little detail makes this one of the greatest video game releases of all time for me.

One of the best video games I've played in a while. The replayability is insane for a game of this type. Very fun to play with friends and very fun to explore the game and its items. Each run feels so different and the characters are very interesting and fun to play. Highly reccomend buying it, its decently priced as well!

NOTE: I mainly play MyLeague and MyCareer, so this review is based on my experience with those modes.

After the release, the game has received unreal criticism for several different reasons, and having put in nearly 30 hr into the game I thought I would have a general scope of how the game is like, and if I recommend it or not, so:

Pros:
-The MyLeague and MyGM modes have been improved significantly. Additions like the G-League, moratorium, and all My GM cutscenes and so on has made the game more entertaining, some very solid rookie classes have also been added in by the community and it makes the mode realistic and fun to play. I realized that I played a save for 4 hours and it felt like half an hour, so I would say it's really good. The ability to create and add a player mid season is a fun way to make the mode interesting.

-MyCareer mode is definitely improved in several areas, the addition of the neighborhood is very colorful and dynamic, stores like Foot Locker and being able to shop through the store in-game is very fun. Being able to reach 99 overall is a good re-addition, last year it was removed. The badge grinding system makes the game interesting and makes it easier to get your badges.

Endorsement deals are exciting to receive and boosts up your overall VC earnings by quite a margin. Being able to select your starting team is pretty fun and makes the mode more customizable, and your veteran team mate Shammy Wells is a colorful personality who is a knockdown shooter, so he makes it easier on the court too. Merch given by your sponsors makes the game fun and interesting. Wide variety of sponsorship deals are impressive.

-Regardless of what problems may occur, the game is patchable, and problems are not unsolveable, for a while I believe the best basketball game there is will have to be 2k, considering all the sponsorships and league-wide interactions they have.

Cons:

There are an immense amount of cons to this game.

-MyLeague: One of the simplest modes there is, there are bugs and inconsistencies in MyLeague. Sometimes, after completing a trade, and wanting to do another one, the same trade that was done before pops up again, with the same player you just traded away being on your team, and it doesnt go away no matter how many times you back out of the trade screen. With this, even though I like that its not a GSW- Cavs final every simulated year, some impossible teams like the Bulls or Hornets make the NBA finals and win it at times. Now of course, with squad improvements they definitely could in any given time, but they do it in the first year without making ANY improvements to their roster.

There is also a bug that crashes your game at times when a player you are negotiating with accepts another offer, and the moratorium sysem with all the cap holds/bird rights is hard to understand for the casual player that does not know about the CBA cap rules.

-MyCareer: Where to start. Definitely the most inconsistent and annoying MyCareer has ever been. The amount of VC that is needed to upgrade attributes are not immense or impossible, and VC prices are not terrible. However, the game does not only require VC for attributes, but for literally EVERYTHING. This is a triple A title and I would say that the amount of micro transaction hunger is insane. Haircuts are 100 vc and even though this is post patch, I still think its stupid to splash out 1/4 of my rookie salary on a haircut. With this, hair colors unlock at stupid overall caps like 85, and they are very basic colors, like blonde. Foot Locker has great shoes, but they are minimum 1500 VC and that is ridiculous. You have to play 5 games with a 60 overall player to get one shoe with one colorway, and it discourages the player to use the neighbourhood and shoe collecting since you have to allocate most of your VC to improve your player since you are the worst player in an NBA roster by 9 overalls at least. The cutscenes are unskippable, and even though I didn't mind it as much as some players did, the cutscenes are very corny, since your close sircle is filled with cringy characters like your best friend B Fresh, your agent Bryan, and team employees. Regarding gameplay, not only do you start as the worst NBA player in the league, you also have the most incapable teammates there is, no matter what the situation is. I started with the Lakers, so I dont know if its the case for everyone, but my team mates are averaging horrible numbers with horrible efficiency and I feel like this was made intentionally by 2K. Also, I have seen the momentum change in a game, where the opposition team went 19/23 for their shots and we lost, just because the game wanted to show me a cutscene where my vet scolded me for trying to chat with him after a blow out we suffered. Your incapability as a player is incredibly frustrating and it took me 20 something hours of game time just to get to 65 overall without buying VC. Also, one of my main problems is the absence of rookie mode. I usually open up 2 saves, one challenging and one where I just put up insane numbers on rookie and it was my favorite thing about the game, and the absence of the rookie mode made me incredibly disappointed.

Optimization issues: I have a 960 M (6 GB) card and I am forced to play the game at 1024 right now with medium settings, because I get immense amounts of screen tearing and fps drops whenever the camera shifts in game. Even though I dont expect the game to run on ultra 1920x1080, I do believe that my graphics limit shouldnt be set so low. However, the game runs super smooth on 1024.

I dont have anything else to say about the game. The reason as to why I recommend this game mainly lies on the fact that its overall fun. Sadly, this is the best you can get out of a basketball video game. Even though it has its inconsistencies and huge problems, I still believe 2k18 was a very ambitious effort by 2k to really create a new and fun experience. Its nowhere near a perfect game, and I am very disappointed about a lot of things, but the grind for MyCareer helps me kill time and I like it, and the MyLeague mode is very fun and has a lot of variation so I like it too.
Therefore, overall, I recommend this game, however keep in mind all the problems when you are buying it and dont hesitate to wait for patches before buying the game.

Edit: They fixed the graphics optimization issue, I can now play the game with a way better graphics setting.
