Cinematic storyline, Packed with activities, Deep kung-fu brawling engine, Distinctive and charming
Patchy animation, Terrible voice acting and suspect dialogue
Shenmue III's overall vibe is charming, naïve and nostalgic, without even a tiny hint of the grit found in the likes of the Yakuza games (made by many of the original Shenmue team). Again, Suzuki seems to be making a point, about evoking bygone times. Bai...
Impossibly rich game world, Feels just like the originals, Even the capsule toys play an important role, The hidden object side-quest is really enjoyable
‘Interactivity' often boils down to tapping X, Not enough emphasis on action scenes, A few technical imperfections
A magnificent, authentic, totally uncompromised sequel that crucially ignores virtually every gaming trend of the past 18 years...
Beautiful detailed environments full of atmosphere, Abundance of activities that feed into game's loop, Retains the original Shenmue's charms
Retains the original Shenmue's awkward idiosyncrasies, Slow pace won't be for everyone
Quite honestly, if you're a newcomer to the series, there's going to be little reason to jump into Shenmue 3 now when there are much more sophisticated open world games today. But then no one else has really made an open world quite like Shenmue, with th...

Abstract: Golden harvest.A bewitching time capsule that transports us to late 80s China, and to turn-of-the-century video games.Against all odds, here it is. 18 years on from the last episode, and well after most had given up hope that Ryo Hazuki would ever fin...
Abstract: TRULY, we live in a time of complete Kickstarter-driven wish-fulfilment. "If you build it, they will come" has effectively made the entire concept of nostalgia irrelevant. Starting sensibly enough, perpetually-broke ex- Monkey Island developer Tim Schafe...
It's clear that YSNet is trying desperately to create Shenmue 3 on a lacking budget, failing to truly deliver on the vision they hoped to present so many years ago. It's a grand, ambitious effort that I'm keen to see come to fruition, but nothing I've see...

Abstract: Just the name of this review likely provides an impression of where this review will end up, but Shenmue 3 has been a mixed bag of emotions from the start. At E3 2015 when Shenmue 3 was originally announced, nearly everyone was jumping out of their seats...
Abstract: Shenmue III's core gameplay consists of speaking with various NPC's within each area, interspliced with sections that require you to put on your detective cap, and occasional battles that rely on Ryo's knowledge of advanced martial arts techniques. The pa...
Very pretty in its own way, Plot builds to a satisfying climax, Missions are varied and engaging, Denselypacked level design, Plenty to keep you busy, Genuinely relaxing
Ungraceful combat, Quick time events still not great, Will we ever see the end of this story
Is Shenmue III dated? Absolutely, but the game proves that, like most genres, open-world adventures still have a thing or two to learn from the past. Shenmue III isn't always as player-friendly as it could be, but its lively, uniquely-handcrafted world is...
