Yakuza 0 was my first and still has a special place in my heart. However, the new games with Ichiban have also been great. Slowly working my way through Infinite Wealth right now, but there’s just so much to do (I spent days just doing Dondoko island).
More people need to check out the Judgment games as well.

Revengeance is perfect
Yeah if you just finished your first playthrough it might be a little soon for the Final Draft. I beat it a few months ago and just finished the DLC a week or so ago, so I think it’s a good time for me. I bet you could just watch the cutscenes or differences on YouTube though.
I actually haven’t played the Max Payne games, but I’ve heard good things. I think there’s a remake of those rumored, so I’m probably going to wait and go check out Quantum Break next!
If it helps you decide, the Night Springs DLC is technically a prequel to AW2 but more or less standalone. The DLC is also pretty short with 3 separate chapters that are just a couple hours long total, and locations are reused from the base game. I believe there were supposed to be a couple extra chapters that got scrapped (partially due to James McCaffrey’s passing). That being said, I did enjoy it and think the third episode in particular was pretty interesting.
I’m currently playing The Final Draft. Totally agree, I think AW2 is a masterpiece and has sold me as a big fan of Sam Lake and his work. I liked the first game (and loved Control), but the sequel is a lot more fun than the first gameplay-wise.
Night Springs DLC spoiler
I was a little confused by the three episodes, obviously they’re intended to be other characters (Rose, Jesse, Sheriff Breaker), but apparently they are all just stories written by Wake as attempts to escape the Dark Place prior to AW2. The third episode talks about how all characters have “echoes” and with the multiverse are basically real and canon (even relating to their real-life counterparts). Sam Lake = the Director = Alex Casey = Max Payne, etc - each is as real as the others and they’re tied together by a string. Pretty interesting take, and I like that this episode basically canonizes Max Payne and Quantum Break in the Remedyverse.
After I finish the Final Draft, I will have to play Quantum Break. I think a Max Payne remake is rumored, so hopefully that will see light not long after. I have already played Control and it’s DLCs multiple times and can’t wait for that sequel.
Tldr: two passes per season (one per split), 60 tiers instead of 110, purchased with real money ($10 each) instead of apex coins.
I’m using Manjaro as well with an Nvidia card and also had the black screen issue when switching to Wayland. I believe this is what fixed it for me: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2156732#p2156732

I actually hadn’t noticed it’s not there for mobile, but there’s search in the desktop view of the website
As someone who also loved those games, I’m confident you’ll enjoy AW2 as well
Sharing Jason Schreier’s take from bluesky:
Pleased to report that I love Avowed, the latest RPG from Obsidian. I expected strong writing and combat, but what’s surprised me (and kept me wanting more even after 40 hours) is the exploration. Everywhere you turn there’s a secret or treasure or rooftop to climb — it’s dense and full of life.
I’m a little surprised reading some of these reviews but I suspect that Avowed could wind up like Fallout: New Vegas, where there’s a vast gap between the critical reception and overall player consensus
