Abstract: 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...

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...

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...
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...
Direction artistique réussie, Système de combat accessible, Techniquement correct, Bande-son sensible, La flânerie
Animation hors combats, Mise en scène aux fraises, Dialogues souvent mal écrits, Qu'on ne peut pas accélérer, Tellement de lourdeurs dans les interactions, Tellement d'incohérences dans la progression, Le système d'endurance pénible, Le grinding avec les
Oui, Shenmue III est une relique des temps passés, objet étonnant de début 2000 parachuté en 2019. Si ce statut lui donne un petit goût suranné parfois agréable, il peine à démontrer autre chose et cette impression finit par être absorbée dans les méandre...

Great improvements to combat and exploration, Wonderful new and returning characters, Spectacular lighting
Hunger and HP draining feels pointless, Story is often roadblocked, Shenhua's role is drastically reduced
Shenmue III feels like a remake of the Dreamcast game that never existed, for better and worse. It's got everything fans loved about the Sega classics, along with some of their baggage. Still, the best of the series is the greatest it's ever been. It can...

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...
