I'm about half way through 1 and finding the combat a real slog. Is it worth dropping it and playing Kiwami instead, or would it then be too awkard to go back to 2-5? (I know 2 is also getting a remake, but that's a while away and just delays the problem). I fully intend to play Kiwami anyway, but my original plan was to wait until I'd reached the PS4 era the long way.

And does the combat improve much in 2, or does it take longer for it to stop being so frustrating (a proper lockon, or just something to make Kazuma prioritise punching enemies over bits of furniture behind him, would be nice)

2's combat isn't that much better, but everything else, such as story, minigames, substories and all that jazz is much improved.

3 Is where the combat kicked it up a notch, but the US version of 3 is fairly weak.

Those PS2 games, just play really slowly. 0/Kiwami don't make it awkward to play 3/4/5.

Kiwami 2/6 would be though.

How good is the story/lore of these games? I am pining for a series with an intricate plot that doesn't devolve into convoluted nonsense or cheesy video game tropes.

Well it plays up Japanese TV Dramas more than anime in the kind of story it tells.

It usually devolves into a lot of fights and plotting over real estate or politics.

Each game's story follows up on the last and they reference past games a lot.

I'm still in Kiwami after finishing the story, just getting through everything the game has to offer and trying to get the platinum.

by the time I'm done with it and 0, Kiwami 2 will probably be out so I can continue the series. not worried about 6 yet
