Best play order WITH spin offs? (IVE READ THE WIKI)

DISCUSSION

I'm a relatively new Yakuza fan, So far I've beaten Yakuza 0, Kiwami 1, and currently am playing through...Kurohyou. The PSP game. Because unlike what the wiki says for play order, I don't want to go through the main story back to back to back, I want some variety thrown in. Yes Kurohyou takes place after 4, but from what I researched, it doesn't spoil anything, so I'm fine.

This is very subjective, but what's the best play order including EVERYTHING? Just cuz the spin offs aren't canon or relevant to later games doesn't mean there isn't a good fit on when to play them. For platforms I own, I have a Nintendo Switch 2, which I already own Kiwami 2 on. I have a base PS4, not the greatest these days but it'll do for a lot of the series.

And I have my phone. Why am I mentioning that? Cuz it is BEEFY. There are translation layer apps that allow PC games to run natively on Android, and it's how I played through the ENTIRETY of Yakuza 0, having bought the game from GOG instead of the ass Director's Cut. PS3 emulation is also getting better on Android, which means Yakuza Dead Souls can be included in this everything play order. I am okay with that.
