Yakuza 0

Don't even think for a moment that it'll be similar to GTA or Sleeping Dags. This is a RPG in a small town so try not to think of it as a sandbox like the other two titles. It's brilliance lies in a tight knit storyline with great characters, lots of fighting, oddball Eastern humour and a lot of content.
The Cabaret club is addictive as hell so be sure to spend a lot of time earning money there! It is a superb series. Got both Zero and Kiwami on my PS4 Pro so far.
Cool
It absolutely not a poor man's GTA or Sleeping Dogs. Actually better than both, as much as I liked them. Fun, quirky, addictive, massive amounts of content, brutal combat, very decent story and feels old-school. And hilarious sidequests Must play, IMO.

No. It's Jap crap.
That kyabakura management was stupid and addictive as hell
I must've put well over 100h into the Japanese version and still haven't managed to complete everything
Looking forward to importing Kiwami 2 after I wrap up GoW and Yakuza 6 (both mostly done). Though I bought HZD Complete in the PS Store Summer sale but it can wait
I actually finished it from what I recall. Took on the last club, which was very difficult but I got there! Sadly I had to stop clubbing because I needed to focus on the rest of the game. I reckon I put in more time at the club than my entire playthrough of Kiwami!That kyabakura management was stupid and addictive as hell

I keep getting confused with all the localised Yakuza's coming out - I only have 2 of them so far. I downloaded a very short demo (psn) of Yakuza Kiwami 2 recently and I know you know your stuff. Am I right in saying Kiwami 2 takes place after Kiwami? (probably obvious but I'm not 100% on this).
I think the series starts off as Yakuza Zero > Yakuza Kiwami > Yakuza Kiwami 2 >??
Yes, it goes 0->K1->K2. K2 is a remake of 2 on the Dragon Engine, the same that 6 uses but with improvements.
6 is the last one and takes place after 5 but they made it so standalone (not that good a move, IMO) that you don't really need to know much, except a couple of characters (who are even introduced to you through short recaps).
You don't really need to play K2 before 6 and K2 is the better of the two so it's better to play it last.
As for 0, I mean I finished both of those big sidequests for Kiryu and Majima but still wasn't able to wrap up all the side stuff at well over 100h, massive game

It's 20% off I think on Fanatical but in this instance I wanted to buy through Steam
