Mafia III vs Yakuza 0
Mafia III
Mafia III is the long-awaited second sequel to the popular mafia-themed action-shooter game, Mafia. Set in the 1968 after the Vietnam War, the game casts you into the role of Lincoln Clay, a Vietnam veteran who had his entire surrogate family, the black mob, wiped out by the Italian Mafia. Vowing revenge for your family, you'll need to build a new mafia from the ground up and bring the fight to the Italian mob. It is either you or them and there is no in-between.Similar to the previous, the game has the same brilliant gun fights, hand-to-hand melee combat as well as heart-pounding car chases with cops and rival mobs alike. You can even choose how you approach a mission the way you like due to the open world nature of the virtual city you'll be roaming around in. Of course, being the leader of a mafia, you will also need to make some hard decisions when deciding who to promote and who to let go as "a necessary casualty". One thing for sure, you'll do whatever it takes to avenge your brothers.
Despite some bugs and glitches, Mafia III is still a great sequel that fans of the series will most certainly enjoy. It still retains its deep gritty feel and the plot, although somewhat cliche (see: Saints Row), is good enough to keep the game going.
Yakuza 0
Yakuza 0 is a gang-themed action-adventure RPG that draws plenty of comparison to game series like GTA or Mafia. The game is set in the 1988 in the largest cities in Japan, Tokyo and Osaka, where you’ll be playing as Kazuma Kiryu is your run-of-the-mill debt collector who messed up, resulting in the death of his mark. Obviously, you’ll soon find yourself on the run and you’ll need all your wits and fighting skills with you if you are to survive the thugs and lowlifes that are hot on your trail.The atmosphere in Yakuza 0 is simply unmistakably the 80s, with neon-lights everywhere and the sound of cabaret ringing out throughout the streets. This is probably the best part about the game, aside from its intense gameplay. So, if you think this is the game for you, well, you can buy the game on the PlayStation 4 online store.
