What Yakuza Games To Play After You Finish?Yakuza 0

3. Because of this, and because the gameβs English version was an attempt by Sega to reboot the series in the West following the disastrous reception to the first game, it includes a massive collection of cutscenes designed to introduce you to the complex politics and backstory of the series, which itβs recommended you watch before playing the game.

Donβt bother. You can watch that stuff on YouTube (along with the gameβs main plot itself), and Yakuza 3, while a good game, is nowhere near as fun as 4 & 5.
Yakuza 4 is where you should start. Not only is it the best Yakuza game, by virtue of a snappy story that switches you between four different players and keeps things interesting throughout, but it also has large retro sequences detailing some of the events before Yakuza 0, so youβll be sliding right into familiar territory.
In addition to the main games, there have been three spin-off Yakuza titles. Two of themβa PSP game and a PS3 one set in medieval Japanβwere never released in the West. The third, a zombie shooter called Dead Souls (pictured), was; play it if you want, but itβs not very good.
After that, hit Yakuza 5, which is basically a straight sequel to 4 (duh), not just in terms of story but because it also has the βswap between multiple charactersβ? thing going on. It features a new engine (the game was also released on PS4 in Japan), so youβll notice that aside from some texture quality itβs very similar to Yakuza 0 in terms of visuals. Oh, and itβs also an excellent game, and itβll let you see how Yakuzaβs version of Osaka has changed in the years since 0.

Of course, this is assuming that you want to play a Yakuza game right now. If you think youβll be spending a few more months playing 0 before moving on, then I have some good news: a full HD remake of Yakuza 1, called Yakuza Kiwami, is on the way and is due out in the West in the Summer.

Itβs not a HD remaster, itβs a complete HD remake, with new visuals, new combat, new side-missions and even an all-new recording of the gameβs Japanese dialogue, done by the original voice-actors.
Plus, if youβre fresh of playing Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwamiβs antagonist will be awfully familiar...
Since this fixes most of the issues with the first Yakuza, then Kiwami would be the one you should start with, followed by 4, then 5. If you can wait. If you canβt, play 4 then
