in the past


Shenmue is... an experience. When it came out, it was revolutionary with how detailed and lifelike it felt. But playing it now? It's clunky, the pacing is super slow, and voice acting is hilarious (in a bad way). It's got this nostalgic charm if you played it back in the day, and the revenge story can be gripping, but for newcomers, it's a tough sell. A piece of gaming history for sure, but not necessarily a fun one.
