finished kiryu chapter 3 and damn yakuza 5 is really damn good
honestly since 2 each successive game has done a really good job escalating and improving over the previous game (the jump from 2 kiwami's gameplay to 3 remastered notwithstanding, since that's not really a fair comparison)
(and to be fair to 2, the main reason i rank 1 above it is the added nishiki content building on their relationship in 0, so that's also not the fairest comparison!)
