This is how I've played the series.
Yakuza 0
Kiwami 1
Kiwami 2
Yakuza 6
Yakuza 6 has less to do, less heat actions less fighting, conversations scenes that last over 20 minutes, sub stories not on the map (unless I missed that option) troublr was just bad, popping up in the middle of story sequences. Hiroshima was so sparse compared to sotenbori. You could only carry 5 of each item for some reason only have 2 equipment instead of 3 and no weapon equips.
Maybe this was more of a rant, but I had to get out all my gripes.
Yakuza 0 was probably the most fun I had with the series.
