PC Gamer’s Phil Savage joins us for a Yakuza-themed special episode, which covers pretty much the entire history of Sega’s series as it finds new fans on Xbox Game Pass. Hear about the 5 best games in the Yakuza series, and learn about the best starting point if you’re a new fan.
This week’s music is from the Yakuza 0 and Yakuza 6 soundtracks by Hidenori Shoji.
Rankings
(We should also start with the reasons why a couple of them didn’t make the Top 5, as an excuse to air my grudges about Kiwami 1 and Yakuza 4)
- Judgment
- Kiwami 2
- Yakuza: Like a Dragon
- Yakuza 0
- Yakuza 5 (I am willing to be overruled on this, as it’s Spicy, but I think it’s appropriate for this series to celebrate the one that is the most extra.)
