Keepin' It Real

Sometimes you don't need your fists to complete missions. On occasion, you'll need to talk some good talk to successfully complete a challenge.

Customize Your Fighting Style

Kiryu and Majima each have three fighting styles. You can customize the styles by purchasing new moves.

Miracle Johnson

Yakuza 0 has many serious moments, but it has many ridiculous side missions, too. For example, you can help pop singer Miracle Johnson film his zombie-themed music video. Do it. It's human nature.

Collect Cards

As you explore Osaka and Tokyo, keep your eyes open for telephone cards featuring attractive women that are scattered about the cities. You can use them to advance a side mission or view erotic (non-pornographic) videos.

Dispatch Agents

You can send agents into the field to find new weapons.

Sing a Song

Yakuza 0 has many fun mini-games, including a karaoke challenge. You can also race RC cars, participate in a dance battle, bowl, and fish.

Space Harrier

Visiting an arcade with either Kiryu or Majima lets you play classic SEGA arcade titles.

About Our Expert

Jeffrey L. Wilson

Jeffrey L. Wilson

Managing Editor, Apps and Gaming

Since 2004, I've written about consumer tech for many publications, including 1UP, Laptop, Parenting, Sync, Wise Bread, and WWE. I now apply that knowledge and skill set as the managing editor of PCMag's apps and gaming team.

The Technology I Use

As a member of the App & Gaming team, I use a wide variety of apps and services. Google Drive is an essential file-syncing service for moving documents between team members in this work-from-home era. Scrivener has been an invaluable writing tool as I rework my fiction manuscript. YouTube Premium and YouTube TV deliver hours of entertainment (though I only use the latter service during the F1 and NBA playoff seasons).

In terms of hardware, I use a Lenovo Thinkpad Carbon X1 laptop for work and an Origin PC tower for playing PC games. I also have a Steam Deck, which lets me play my favorite titles under a shade tree. Of course, I have a smartphone, and the Google Pixel 9a is my handset of choice.

My main input devices are the Das Keyboard 4 Professional and Logitech MX Vertical Ergonomic Mouse, though I bust out the Hori Fighting Commander Octa or Hori Fight Stick Alpha when mixing it up in fighting games. I have a thing for arcade sticks. I collect Neo Geo AES games, too, but only if I can find the carts on the (relative) cheap.

For video and music consumption, I fire up my Lenovo Tab P11; it has a sharp screen and great Dolby Atmos-powered speakers. My Kindle Paperwhite has received much use, too. I have a standalone, Sony Blu-ray player connected to a TCL television when it's time to go full cinephile. I'm also a vinyl guy, so the Bluetooth-enabled Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT keeps the wax spinning.

My first computer was a Commodore 64. Long live BASIC and retro computers!
