It has some long ass cutscenes but damn, the story is so fucking good. The game is easily one of my favorite games ever. I actually think of Yakuza 0 as the most complete game ever made. Tons of mini games, tons of side missions which all have its own little stories, 2 campaigns that you play simultaneously, fishing, erotic videos, combat thatās not garbage, RPG system⦠Honestly, I hope Iāll never finish that game. I love it.
Just play them in order. You can start with either Yakuza 0 (Prequel) or Yakuza Kiwami (the actual first yakuza game). After that, Kiwami 2, Y3, Y4, Y5 and then Yakuza 6. Personally, Iād go with Yakuza 0 first. Everything began in Yakuza 0 after all.
Try it out. Youāll be okay with playing Kiwami as the first one but Yakuza 0 is a damn good introduction to Kiryu and Majima and their stories.
The only negative thing I have to say about Yakuza 0 is that the cutscenes are long as hell. But the story is so damn good, I donāt really give a damn how long the cutscenes are. Also the voice acting is just top notch.
What Iāll do then is after I play each one, Iāll throw the rest of them back to the bottom of the list. That way, by the time I get to them, theyāll be remastered.
