sunk money into this during the kickstarter, when it eventually launched i played and was pretty gutted. Shenmue 1 and 2 were such a big part of my childhood and this felt half baked and clunky. I came back to it years later and finally finished it last night. I have to say i really enjoyed my time playing it, sure its got its issues, its a bit rushed and lacking in MSQ but still worth a go. Now to replay 1 and 2 for the 100th time

I think it's pretty rad that the devs took to heart all of the criticism of the first two games being slow and clunky and made the game even slower and clunkier.

I recommend Downloading forklift loader and the no stamina loss mod. It is two simple files you drop in a folder and it changes the game. It is everything I could have hoped for in a Shenmue game. It is addictive and IMO combines the original with modern take. Sure, it can;t ever be as good as 1 and 2 and I didn't expect it to be. It is a great continuation of the story and well worth the price. I am shocked to see that it wasn't as well received as it deserved.

Set my expectations suuuper low for this and actually ended up having a decent time. It's far from a "good" game and it manages to somehow be worse than it's 20+ year old predecessors in many ways (combat, I'm looking at you) but it has that good old "Shenmue charm" in spades. If you know what that is, Shenmue 3 is for you.

I would reccomend to Shenmue fans, but not to someone looking to into the series or casual gamer. I love the first two Shenmue games, but 3 is a more "meh" title and probaly killed off the series if it was going to be anything. Nothing new is really brought fourth in this Shenmue game. Still left with unanswered questions. Not my favorite but as a fan, I like it. Not love it.
