I am not a typical Shenmue fan. I played the first game years and years after the original release, and as anyone can imagine, it didn’t hold up so well at that point. Shenmue is a period piece that is emblematic of the time it was made and the people it was made by, making it a fascinating example of gaming history, but not amazing contemporary entertainment. Therefore, I don’t know what Shenmue fans are looking for, but if it’s authenticity, then Shenmue III surely delivers.

That’s because Shenmue III authentically feels like playing a Dreamcast game years and years later, with better graphics powered by the Unreal Engine 4. The way Ryo moves, the way lines of dialogue are delivered, even the way some of the areas are designed. This is authentic, absolutely. And from some of the Shenmue fans I’ve spoken with, that’s exactly what they want: a Dreamcast sequel, two decades removed from the original source material. And that’s what they are getting, for better and for worse.
