So have been getting through a lot of games lately, have some longer ones left and am looking for suggestions on which order my backlog should be in:

  • Afrika
  • Final Fantasy VI (Final Fantasy III NA)
  • Grand Theft Auto V
  • Persona 4: Golden
  • Red Dead Redemption 2
  • The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
  • Yakuza 0
  • Yakuza 6: The Song of Life

The only two of those I've played are the R* offerings, so I can't really help except to say, whilst they are both fantastic games in my opinion, maybe don't play them one after the other. Perhaps one at the beginning of your backlog order, and one at the end. I loved GTA V, but RDR2 is the slightly better game for me. Its slow, animation heavy gameplay is a little divisive, but I enjoyed it and felt it helped anchor the setting really well.

Those are some long games. Anyway I don't know about a specific order, besides playing Yakuza 0 before 6 maybe, but just on a gut level you have 3 rough categories of games

FF6, P4G - JRPGs

GTAV, RDR2, Yakuza 0 & 6, BoTW - Open world style games

Afrika - Afrika

Obviously there's variations even within those categories but I think it sort of works out, so maybe flip back and forth between the first 2 categories. and just head off to Afrika when you feel like you need a big palette cleanser.

@imhungry: Yakuza 6 is a brawler like 0, 7 will be turn based.

I might suggest you take on FF VI first. Especially if you're on an emulator and can speed through the grind.

Let's all be real with ourselves a second here- Zelda is head and shoulders above anything else on that list :P

Play Zelda first.

Theyre all such long ass games. You need some smaller lengthed pop corn games to fill in between those longer ones.

FFVI is too good not to play first tbh.
