SHENMUE 3 Review

[erek]

So it's clear I really enjoyed my time with Shenmue 3, but I do have a few gripes. Design-wise, some of the character models are comically inconsistent. You'll talk to a relatively normal, human-looking NPC one minute, then some kind of exaggerated, hideous caricature the next. It's like they're from different games. There are also a few points in the story where you have to raise a big chunk of money, which means the narrative grinds to a halt as you spend days splitting logs, gambling, or shifting crates around. And I found having to buy and eat food to keep my stamina up a little like needless busywork at times, especially when I absent-mindedly stumbled into a tough fight with half a health bar because I'd been sprinting around too much asking people questions.
