Just to expand on what reaver said:

As a remake of the first game, Kiwami suffers a bit from clinging to the original simple story and low-key tone. I feel the added content goes a little too over the top to compensate for it.

Kiwami 2 is a much more tonally consistent game. Also it's made in the new Dragon Engine, which is an upscale on the graphics. A lot of people also hold 2's story in the highest regard. It's not my personal favorite, but it's still a good story.

They're both good. There are no bad Yakuza games.

I wish they would announce the rest for PC. It's been over a year with no word.

Perhaps I was a little spoiled on the HnK: Lost Paradise spinoff being my gateway to the series - been slowly going through 0 and yearning for a dub. Tightrope between authenticity and emotional impact. Still having fun.

I can relate. I began the series on the PS2 and the first game actually was dubbed. Playing 2 was a huge adjustment because of it and very distracting. Having played the rest of the games now though, I couldn't imagine Kiryu with any other voice, I don't even remember how he sounded in the dub and I don't really care to, either.

I agree that Yakuza Kiwami 1 is pretty good, but not amazing by any means. I'd personally get the 3 games deal, but I could understand why you might be hesitate if you've never played the series.

Also not directly related to the topic at hand but after seeing Stagmar post about the lack of information I went to check the subreddit for the games and saw this post:
