New PS5, PS4 Games This Week (15th August to 21st August) It’ll be off-putting to anyone but the most ardent fans, even if the series’ trademark humour is present throughout. The problem with this is that the game wants to embed you in its world, but no one converses like a human being. Dialogue is drawn out to extreme lengths, with characters repeating themselves to the point of irritation. Where you were simply killing time in past games, it feels like there’s reward for time wasting here.īut it’s not without its issues: in an era of instant gratification, Shenmue III’s tardy pacing is almost obscene. However, to get it you’ll need to play one of the new minigames – a simple activity where you throw rocks into buckets – in order to earn it. One side-quest, for example, sees you locating a soccer ball for a wannabe footballer living in the village. Suzuki has said that he wanted the wealth of activities that the series is known for to be better connected, and this is obvious throughout. Herbs populate the landscape and can be collected and exchanged for cash and combat scrolls, while collectibles like the infamous toy capsules now serve a larger purpose. Invest effort into your kung-fu, for example, and you’ll increase your overall energy and fitness, meaning that you can sustain yourself for longer both in battle and when out and about.
There are other subtle mechanical improvements, like a more in-depth levelling system that rewards you for taking time to train. This means investigations may devolve into mundane activities such as rifling through drawers and interrogating clueless inhabitants of rural Chinese settlement Bailu Village. Those who’ve feasted on a banquet of Grand Theft Auto and Yakuza in recent years may be bemused by the glacial pace on offer here gameplay is made up of a series of different strands, each designed to simulate real-life. It’s worth stressing right from the outset, however, that this is a weird package by 2019 standards.

This is Full Reactive Eyes Entertainment in its purest form, and if that awkward acronym means anything to you at all, then you’ll love this game. This is the greatest compliment that could be paid Shenmue III, of course: look beyond the richly rendered Unreal Engine 4 visuals, and the follow-up clearly subscribes to the very same design blueprint that famed director Yu Suzuki devised in the late 90s. It’s been almost 18 years since Shenmue II released on the Dreamcast in Europe, but its long-awaited sequel feels like it’s been preserved in a time ( toy?) capsule during that time.
