To put it politely, Shenmue III has the potential to charm existing fans of the Shenmue saga, if only in how much it painstakingly recreates the stilted beauty of its two predecessors. However, if judged on its merits alone and/or by a non-Shenmue fan, th...
Abstrakt: It's so hard to hold water for Shenmue in 2019. Far from a fine wine, it's an acquired taste. It's like an aged exotic cheese for an audience that's primarily sensitive to dairy.The polarizing reaction to the latest Shenmue re-releases everyone clamored f...

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...

Abstrakt: 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...
Abstrakt: 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...
Abstrakt: The first Shenmue, released in 1999, was quite unlike anything that came before.It was then the most expensive game ever made, with an estimated US$70 million (S$94.8 million) budget that allowed creator Yu Suzuki to pour an unprecedented amount of deta...

es existiert, ein Shenmue durch und durch, hübsch und atmosphärisch, tolles erstes Gebiet, bewusst billige Synchro mit einem einzigartigen Charme
viele Wiederholungen, keine abbrechbaren Dialoge, durchweg altbackene Spielmechaniken, zähes zweites Gebiet
Ein Wunder: Es lebt!All jene, die den Dreamcast nicht miterlebt haben, werden das Phänomen nicht nachvollziehen können. Shenmue 3 wirkt in so vielen Punkten überholt, dass sich der Teenager von heute vermutlich lachend in eine Ecke verzieht. Die Dialoge k...
