A seamless continuation of the series that makes up for its limitations with pure heart. It's like Ryo never left us.

Critic Reviews
80s Nostalgia in HD
Beautiful to look at and live in, particularly in its second half, its charm and story mostly overcome its dated roots, except for the capsule game mechanism which spoils the overall experience.

83%Shenmue III (PlayStation 4) Review
Shenmue III is the monkey-paw wish of videogames — it is exactly what fans have wanted, to the point where it feels like it belongs in a different era.
