Kiryu is a machine in Yakuza 0, singlehandedly fighting through entire buildings of Tojo clan goons. Target on his back, exiled and on the run, fending off everyone from Kamurocho to Sotenbori, he's practically unstoppable. But what if he was Master Chief?
Weird question, I know, but stick with me. Master Chief is likewise a tough SOB, just like most FPS protagonists. He's a big burly dude in a big burly green suit with an arsenal that rivals the Doom Slayer's. Chuck him on a planet with a mission and odds are you'll end up with a mountain of corpses to bury. Chuck him in Kamurocho and you'll end up with dozens of Tojo thugs crying on the street.

This 11-minute video shows off Master Chief in action, throwing hands with yakuza at the HQ, tearing through them like there's no tomorrow.

All you need to get it working is the Ryu Mod Manager. It's simple enough to install, so if you fancy trying it out, you can right now on PC for free.
It's a little immersion breaking so I wouldn't advise it for your first-ever playthrough of 0, but if you want to freshen things up for a return visit, then this will absolutely do
