Shenmue III (PS4)
- I'm impressed with how much they nailed the Shenmue atmosphere and feel. It's kind of surreal at times. This was so important to do right.
- I'm guessing they feared the game would be too short so they added unnecessary padding. Having some tedious work elements is part of the Shenmue experience but this game takes it too far; the fighting levelling system brings down the pacing.
- The new music is great but not quite as catchy or memorable as previous tunes.
- Maybe it's because I fear the series being cancelled but I wish this game furthered the story more than it did.
- Overall as a huge Shenmue fan, I'm satisfied with game and it's a miracle it exists and turned out as well as it did. It's my least favourite of the three Shenmue game because of padding issues and not being quite as memorable, though.
