Yakuza Game Order?

[skeet1983]

Hi guys. I purchased Infinite Wealth yesterday, but have not started it yet, or any of the other Yakuza games that I have. For the story and content, what is the recommended order to play them in? Here are the ones that I have:

- Yakuza 0
- Yakuza 3-6
- Kiwami 1 and 2
- Like A Dragon 1 and 2

Thoughts and help appreciated :)

Zero (prequel)

Kiwami (remake of Yakuza)
Kiwami 2 (remake of Yakuza 2)

3-6

Like a Dragon
The Man who Erased His Name
Infinite Wealth

Like a Dragon and Infinite Wealth are literally Yakuza 7 and Yakuza 8 in japan. Like a Dragon was a rebrand for the western audience. Even the executables are yakuza numbered.


Judgement
Lost Judgement

Judgement is a spinoff series, completelly unrelated to Yakuza, just on the same universe.

You are missing The Man who Erased His Name which should be after Like a Dragon.

Oh ♥♥♥♥, yeah. Play that before Infinite Wealth

[Zaphre]

To be fair tho, Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth is structured so you don't actually need to play the Zero-6. Like a Dragon is pretty much supposed to be a fresh start of the series and Infinite Wealth has pretty much dozens of hours of game focused on summarizing Kazuma's story so you catch up with everything,

you should play judgement before yakuza 7 and lost judgement after, before man who erased his name, not a big deal but there are minor call outs to those games.

also maybe inshin between 5 and 6 i think, not sure on that one.

Don't forget the zombie yakuza game dead souls! But good luck playing it legitimately

Yeah, there's also Ishin. But they are not part of the mainline and it doesnt matter when you play them.

I like RPGs with turn based combat

So the order is LAD
then LAD: IW

that is it.

it kind of does, if you play it too early some characters and references you won't understand.

You actually have to start with dead souls. Next is Yakuza 2 (PS2), then yakuza kiwami 2. Then you go all the way up to Yakuza 6 (skip 4), kiwami 1, then play infinite wealth.

Then you'll be caught up after you watch the Amazon show.

Hi again guys. Here is a list of all the Yakuza games that I have on Steam:

- Yakuza 0
- Yakuza 3-6
- Kiwami 1 and 2
- Like A Dragon 1 and 2

I have not started any of them yet, as I am wondering what order to play them in.
My question is, can they all run in my native 2560*1440 resolution?

Thoughts and help appreciated :)

0
kiwami
kiwami 2
3-7
LAD infinite wealth

0 is a prequel, kiwami are remasters of 1 and 2.
