Don’t over-complicate it, just go with the developer’s intended order, which is the chronological order.

>Yakuza 0
>Kiwami 1
>Kiwami 2
>Yakuza 3, 4, and 5
>Yakuza 6
>Judgmen 1, aka Judge Eyes
>Yakuza 7: Like A Dragob
>Lost Judgment
>Kiryu Gaiden
>Yakuza 8 / Infinite Wealth
>Pirate Majima

Wherever you play Judgment and Lost Judgment is optional, but it’s preferable you touch them after Yakuza 6.
