Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the fun and detailed game, engaging story, and nostalgic elements of Shenmue III. Many appreciate the price point and the inclusion of a steel book. However, some criticisms focus on the voice acting and controls, suggesting areas for potential improvement. The open world and martial arts aspects also receive positive feedback.

    Shenmue was one of my favorite games on the Sega Dreamcast when growing up. When Shenme 3 was announced I was really excited. After booting it up I quickly realized the sequel was outdated and not up to par with current games. It's best to avoid unless you just have to absolutely see for yourself.

    Overhyped. It stayed more or less just like 1 and 2, but that's the problem, it plays like a game from the late 90s and early 2000s, with all of their flaws and frustrating quirks. Might be good for a spare case, though.

    I bought this because it came with a steel book. However, the game is not good and should probably only be played by fans of the series.

    Bored to tears. I was nostalgic for the originals but this turned out to be repetitive and cumbersome over time.
