Assume that I know nothing about this series, even though I know a little bit.

Kiwami the remake of 1 does a lot of stuff that you would only get if you play 0 first

Yakuza 0 or Kiwami 1

Either is a fine entry point. 0 was the first Yakuza game I finished after I loathed my experience with Yakuza 1 on the PS2 (probably because of the terrible dub).

After 0, I went on to play Kiwami 1 and the rest of the series all the way to Like a Dragon and absolutely fell in love with the series.

I also highly highly recommend Judgment and Lost Judgment (which I just finished playing last night). Those two games have incredible storytelling. Their story may infact be even better than the best story in the Yakuza games especially the first Judgment game.

That terrible dub has Mark Hamill as Majima, though.

The one downside to starting with 0 and then playing Kiwami next is that 0 is better in every way. 1/Kiwami has a very basic plot and is lacking in side content compared to 0. It also has one of the worst gameplay mechanics I have ever seen in a video game during its boss fights

Judgment is indeed fantastic (haven't played Lost Judgment yet)

While this is true, I also think its a better idea to lead with the best foot forward rather than one of the worst. While 0 might be a contender for the best game in the series, it also isn't the only contender, so its not like its 'all downhill from here' either.

Thing with starting with 0 is it's the best game in the series by a mile so it's technically all downhill from there.
