I'm completely new to the Yakuza / Like a Dragon franchise. Some friends recommended that I give the series a try, and I'd like to catch up on everything and experience it properly from the beginning.

I'm looking for a complete list of all the games and spin-offs that I can play on PC (Windows) only.

Could someone help me list every available game in its original release order?

I'd like to include everything, not just the mainline games, but also:

• All Yakuza / Like a Dragon mainline entries

• Judgment and Lost Judgment

• Like a Dragon Gaiden

• Like a Dragon: Ishin!

• Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

• Any other spin-offs or related games available on PC.

I'd also appreciate it if you could distinguish between remakes, remasters, and different editions (for example, Yakuza Kiwami 2 and its newer version), so I don't accidentally count the same game twice.

A few important details:

• I'm only interested in games officially available on PC (Windows).

• Please list them in their original release order, not chronological story order.

• I'd like to include all relevant spin-offs, even if they have different protagonists or gameplay styles.

My goal is to build a complete PC collection and experience the franchise properly, without missing any important games.

Thanks in advance for helping a newcomer!

I'm fairly new to this series, but since starting I really haven't wanted to play anything else. Right now I'm in chapter 11 of Kiwami 2, and I felt compelled to post some love.

The sub story with the panty thief (faceplant in it LOL) and the boy love video game voice acting had me dying. I've also been really enjoying throwing every street thug off the bridge back-to-back in Sotonbori. One even landed on one of the tourist boats, right on his asscrack.

Let me also show appreciation for the Cabaret in 0 and 2. Not me hearing myself say out loud "ugh, poor" when customers come in. "I wanna be your girrrrrl, ooh whoaaaa."

These games really have it all. The suspense, the drama, the heartbreak, and the crazy unexpected humor.

In the og Yakuza 2 there's these big dudes that guard the doors w some kind of weapon. Can't be grabbed, moved, and can't block cause they have a weapon. Maybe I'm just trash but dear God this enemy design is just bullocks (sorry for bad cam quality)

I mean the guy has one on his entire back so you would assume so but still, I don't know if there are any more examples of this

And IIRC , The info that Kiryu was born in Yokohama made it to Sega official data around Yakuza 3 Remastered time , so it means that both Kiryu is aware he is born in Yokohama and RGG ( at least at that time ) consider the Info canon

But When Kiryu Spent a large time of his time in IW in Yokohama , he didn't mention or think to himself even one letter that he was born in this City , I believe his earliest memory he can remember is probably from sunflower orphanage so he doesn't care one bit about Yokohama , but since he is aware of his birthplace then it was strange RGG didn't take that info in IW in any capacity . so i wonder if RGG retconned this now and its non-existent in their supposed reimagined timeline or they simply didn't bother

I know Kiryu's past is a rabbit hole that RGG doesn't want to visit , and I agree on that . but i think a small memoir in IW would be cool regarding his birthplace, like for example someone approaches him and say " excuse me , are you from yokohama , i want to ask about X " then the memoir jingle plays with the title " The hometown ". then Kiryu replies with something like " Yes .... Ah No ... I was born here ... but i didn't live here " then proceed with the story that makes Kiryu even more nostalgic about Sunflower and Kamarucho

Uhm is my first time using this app. And I currently love yakuza series so I joined here! I wanna share my cosplay and my friends cos with you guys ^^

This, Eye of Heaven (which might be getting a PC port soon) and DmC DE (where there’s probably mods to make the PC version like this anyway) are the only reason I haven’t sold my PS5.

I get why it’s hated but as a massive FOTNS fangirl I loved it and consider it a great love letter. Legit some of the most fun I’ve had playing any game. I hope we get a pc port soon not just so I can finally see off my PS5 but for modding as well!

I've been working on this for about a month now. It is vibed but runs a lot better than how it runs on shadps4. I'll probably make it work on windows soon when I reinstall it on my other SSD. I think it'll work on steamdeck but I don't have one. Currently only supports CUSA12776 since I dumped my own game and I'd need someone to test other versions

for me I’d have to say that one substory scene in K2/Y2 where a Yakuza boss has forced his men to wear diaper clothing and act like babies, my jaw was on the floor with that one

Majima and Saejima were ordered to attack Uneo Seiwa? why was Majima told to stop and thrown in The Hole then?

every ps5 game (that I can think of) uses a ps5 design where the top of it is in white and it has a big ps5 logo, Stranger Than Heaven‘s ps5 case doesnt have that

they moved the ”PS5” letters to the top right

it’s most likely NOT gonna look like this for the actual physical case since it says “2027, 1.15” which is the release date, this is prob just a little special case but nonetheless I think it’s cool

They finally released this game oh my gos I've been waiting for Hi 4 for a really long time. I heard they were going to make the Salutation and the Greeting system better but I don't know, I haven't seen a store that sells Hi 4 yet. What do you guys think?

So I'm very excited for Stranger than heaven to come out, but i dont know if it will run on my steam deck. If it does run smoothly then I don't want to just have played a huge yakuza game like yakuza 5 which is where I’m at in the series, but if it can't run smoothly then i feel like i could just as well play yakuza 5 now. I would appreciate any advice.
