I actually like all the games I listed, but Lost Judgment was peak gaming ( I loved the Kaito Files) for the spin-off category. My personal gripe with Gaiden is the story length, I just wish it was a bit longer, like 1 or 2 more chapters, but overall experience is AMAZING! Judgment is a solid experience and welcoming one, too. I had a few glaring issues, but it's hella solid. Ishin is great. I didn't mind the trooper cards. I'm glad it came to the west. I eventually started slowly loving the game. Fist of the Northstar is surprisingly my introduction to the Yakuza/Like A Dragon franchise. It may be the lowest on the spin-off rank, but I still loved it.

Dead souls is a pretty fun game with how it's just mostly long battles instead of boss fights. Song like Cry..., Return to Nothingess, The Long Battle, both Octopus and Hayashi themes are great. Fotns also has a crazy deep combat system. You can do back combos, juggle goons and bosses and continue juggles after enemies bouncing off of walls. Both these games and also Kenzan are way more fun than Ishin. The grind in (K)Ishin is much worse in than fotns because you can be max level halfway into ng+, while in (K)Ishin you have to grind so many hours for exp for materials. Honestly Kiwami Ishin is the worst spin-off, the original has a much appealing combat and visual design. Especially a lesser grind. I find the original Ishin one of the better RGG games, but not as good as Kenzan.

I think that at this point we should consider that the Judgment saga would be canon along with the yakuza saga in different retrospectives of its installments that include the before and after the events.

Played and beat Judgement and Lost Judgement recently and I enjoyed them a lot. RGG studios are really good at putting in a lot of content into their games. Even after you beat the main stories there is still a lot of things to do.

I finally played Yakuza 0 this past August. Proceeded to play through the whole series, back to back lol. All I have left as of today are Ishin and the Judgment games. I started Judgment last week but haven't gotten the itch to boot it up again. I think now that I'm playing a title with the same formula but a whole new cast of characters unrelated to the rest of the series, my brain is starting to feel burnt out lol. I'm sure it's fantastic, maybe I just need a break from RGG after 3 months straight of nothing but.

You could play Ishin next as it's more related story wise its set in the Edo period. The new LAD games are turn based, so I would say play 0 before that. 0 is probably the best in the series. 0-6 would be your best bet. Then the 2 Judgment games. After that you can go turn based with 7 and 8 if that's your thing. Personally I enjoyed these games being brawlers which is a very rare genre these days.

I got zero, kiwami 1 & 2, yakuza 3, 4, 5, 6 and like a dragon, all on xbox, are these on xbox too?

I start Gaiden 1st and fall in love for the series

Fist of the Northstar was the best game of 2018 for me easily. The anime is great ,at least the first storyline and the gameplay was good enough that I actually got the Platinum for it. That rhythm was tough as well. It's funny because I liked the club stuff here but hated it in Yakuza 0. I loved all the RPG stuff and have always thought the Yakuza games were always RPGs anyhow. In a lot of ways I think its better than the other spin offs but I've liked FOTNS since that late 80's.

I'd say Assassin's Creed Odyssey was also far superior. Also the Club thing in FOTN was like a poor mans version of the one from 0 and Kiwami 2 LOL. When I saw that was there I was actually hoping they copy and pasted the 0 1 over. Like you I've been a fan of FOTN for decades, way back to the early 90's I think when we got the OVA. I still need to go back and watch through the entire anime to get the full story, do you remember the live action movie?😂

dude ishin after both judgments is fucking crazy

Yakuza games are so good that EVERYONE’S tier list is different and is always up for debate 😄.

"Great send off, great conclusion to his story" *breathes in, breathes out* okay

Never was interested in Ishin, but i think that’s because IGNs gameplay of it was terrible lol. I might just have to check it out

yagami's combat isn't completely new.. many of his moves are akiyama's, but good camera work and effects make them look different enough the snake style definitely is new (somebody will correct me for sure if i am wrong)

I'd love to see a Yakuza Dead Souls remaster w/better controls.

Ishin is actually my second favorite game in the franchise (only behind 7). Story is great, combat it great. My only issue is that the villians are super obvious just because they represented by faces of villians of the franchise (with the expection of Mine). But they actually killed Akimoto which was funny as fuck.

I'm honestly happy that you were very honest about Lost Judgment because funny enough I like the game I thought the Snake and Boxer style were unique but I can definitely agree with you with how plain the story is and how there where extra stuff that destroyed the experience but ig you can say that's what Judgment is the series itself being a detective it's not everyone's cup of tea but is definitely mine is since imo it keeps the game engaging and I know alot don't like it and I understand that they wanna beat people up I mean that's literally what the whole series about but this type of pace is what I was lookin for in a game I respect this tier list and it was a bitter pill to swallow I can agree with all this.

My take on your Judgment opinions: 1. It is fair to not liking the detective but man this is game you play as a DETECTIVE so you should expect to have some aspect of it. I personally hate Judgment's stealth tailing missions but love the observation aspect of gameplay and other stuff in the series. 2. I do agree on Judgment having a better story on majority than LJ for it is a personal journey of Yagami but the difference at least LJ in focus in the story unlike Judgment that has side cases mixed in the main 3. I disagree calling Kuwana a "weak" character and it is a direct polar oppsite of Yagami. My take is Kuroiwa is the better villain but Kuwana is the better antagonist in the Judgment games

Fist Of The North Star. Isn’t a Yakuza game. It’s based off of something completely different and besides all Yakuza games are amazing

These are some of the hottest takes I’ve heard for this series, definitely wouldn’t put Ishin even near the top, I enjoyed it but it was definitely “mid” and a botched remake wish it was a little bit more faithful to the original. My ranking would be: Lost judgement LAD Gaiden Judgement Ishin Dead souls FotNS

Man, I did not enjoy Ishin. I could not remember any character's name from the story besides Ryoma and I found the story to be uninteresting with lots of bloat dialogue. All the substories I did were all shit mmo fetch quest design so I stopped doing them (some of the substories were alright but the fetch quests were a huge turnoff). The game also forces substories onto you by placing them on routes to your next main scenario objective. It was also clear that the wild dancer style was the best style in the game alongside with Swordsman style. I saw no point of Gunman or brawler. Also I believe they should have never added the card system, it was unnecessary and I felt like I never needed to use it and whenever I did, it just ruined the immersion of being in that period of Japan. Lastly, this game feels far from a current gen title compared to other Yakuza current gen games. It had no infinite sprint, fast travel was annoying and the taxi guy was so far away from Terada. I always had to make that tedious 1 minute sprint to the taxi guy to fast travel to the barracks. My personal top 4 spin-off are: 1. Lost Judgement - In my opinion, the best gameplay and Kuwuna was a good villain. 2. Judgement - Gameplay was slower than L Judgement but I liked the story more. 3. Gaiden - Not done playing it but I enjoy it way more than Ishin and gameplay feels like Lost Judgement. 4. Ishin

I get the game probably wanted to me to grind out the blacksmith and do more battle dungeons but I just wasn't having fun doing those so I didn't which made the game tedious.

Judgement has a way better story than Lost Judgement. Yagami just annoyed me because I'm a vengeful bitch who 100% agrees with Kuwana.

I completed Ishin few weeks ago and I was so disappointed, the gameplay suck like half of the style are bad Brawler: It’s just swordman style that deal less damage Gunslinger: Just spam Square 👍 Wild Dancer and Swordman were the only fun style to play The story was boring only good part was to see some of the characters interact with each others The minigame were fun at least 👍

You were playing gunslinger wrong, brawler is amazing, you just didn’t do komaki training, and the story isn’t bad, i feel like your attention span is bad.

im so shocked that you somehow think Ishin is at first. Maybe i was burned out or something, but the gameplay was so bland. It felt INCREDIBLY clunky, especially at higher difficulties where the clunk shows. And the grinding was stupid, but at least it was fun. About the higher difficulties, they made the game so stupidly annoying. All enemies 2 shot you, and you do little damage. That isn't fun. The story also felt so convoluted and drawn out. "This guy is actually this guy" gets old and confusing when it's the 50th time. I literally couldn't give two shits about any of the characters except Majimas character and Mine.

how do you feel about kenzen?

I have always wanted to play kenzen as well. Hoping we get it in English one day. Doubt its as good as Ishin but would still be a day 1 purchase for me

Kenzan's got a more fun combat system, cooler atmosphere, no grinding and better story/original characters than Ishin.

Like Dragon GAYden
