As good as the games are you'll get burnt out playing through the whole series. People had years to go through them. Depending on your level of commitment I'd put it like this
Express: Yakuza 0, Yakuza 7
Low investment: Y0, Y1, Y6, Y7
Medium: Y0, Y Kiwami 1 and 2, Y6, Y7
Heavy: Play everything
I'm pretty sure all the games have recaps so you'll won't be completely lost. Yakuza 1 kind of a downgrade after 0 but if you finish 0 and wanna see what happens next it's no brainer.
Technically 7 is a new start, all you're really missing out on is not knowing certain people certain characters when you see them. Playing all these games might run you the rest of the year at least

Those games are what Shenmue woulda been in an alternate dimension where Sega still made consoles

Nah games are too long, with a lot of built in grind and slowwwwwwwwwww pacing. Also 1-5 haven't aged well. Have played Y0 and Y7 which were great; playing Judgment now as well. Eagerly awaiting Y8.
Judgment was great and Lost Judgment is GOAT. LJ was so good I wanna play all the games now.
Yes for the most part. I didn't play 1, 2, 3 till the remaster/Kiwami versions.
I really liked Kiwami, Kiwami II and 0. 4 Was really good
5 i've struggled through, could be burn out from the series, but I breezed through 6.
7 like like a dragon is really good but the turn base combat aspect slows it down it for me. Still playing through it. 3 has aged the worst.
Judgment 1 and 2 were great. I hope they make a 3rd.

am out to yakuza 3.....take a break i will say...i mean 0, 1 and 2 are great so u probably will want to play em back to back,,,,yakuza 3 so far is good but outdated..
Am currently on the Judgment series( same developers, same city and yakuza, but u play a detective) great series and the combat has been perfected

Couldn't get through 7. I was willing to play that goofy shyt for the story and sub stories until it locked me out of the story because I needed armor 
But I'm playing as a homeless man and need to literally scavenge money for it

If you're gonna play them all space out the playthroughs
Like the first dude said you can burnout real quick playing these back to back. All are still worth playing imo

went through them during quarantine
back to back...only other game I played in between was Apex Legends

Played 3 of them but as others have mentioned, if you try to play them back to back it's overwhelming.
Even the best of game series are hard to play back to back immediately without a break and Yakuza has a dope story but isn't in the top tier of gaming.
The gameplay loop itself gets repetitive quickly and the areas are recycled heavily throughout the series.
Dope games...I just wouldn't ever recommend trying to beat them all back to back.

Played Y0-Y7 last year and beat both judgement games recently.
I’d play no more then 2-3 games in a row before taking a break to play something else. If you like the character building and storytelling it’s worth playing them all. Y3 is the most outdated gameplay-wise and will test your love for the series, but aside from that, I had a damn good time playing through the games and it’s one of my all time favorite series
