Never played a Yakuza game, but would like to start.

As the title says I’ve never ever played any Yakuza games. I’ve barley even seen videos of game play of the games. But the very small bits I’ve seen makes me want to give the series a try since I hear great things about it.

Can anyone give me a direction on where to start? Should I just pick up the newest one and go from there? Or should I play some of the remasters? Or maybe even a mix of both?

Any help and info would be much appreciated:)
