Review: Shenmue 3 is the sequel fans have been waiting for

Light in story yet heavy on atmosphere, basic in function yet more cohesive than previous entries, Shenmue 3 is a worthy sequel and exactly what fans have been waiting for.

  • As atmospheric and detailed as the original Dreamcast classics
  • Side activities and rewards feel more cohesive
  • Simplified combat system and levelling up with training feels more like an RPG
  • Slow pace won’t be to everyone’s taste
  • Little character development
4 / 5
