Shenmue sucks and Shenmue is amazing. Both of these things are true. If you meet Shenmue on it's level, and treat it like a playable life sim that happens to have part of martial arts story in it, it becomes one of the most unique experiences in gaming. also the voice acting and lines are really funny. also you drive a forklift

My first taste of Shenmue 1 started back in December 2000 on the Dreamcast. I was a teenager back then and had read about the hype surrounding this game on Dreamcast magazine, as well as watching the trailers repeatedly and being wildly excited that this was gonna be a game unlike any other. One day, I asked my dad if we could buy it so we went to Gamestop and as soon as I had a copy in my hand, I was overjoyed. Couldn't wait ot play it. As soon as we got home from work, I popped it into my Dreamcast and played while being deeply immersed. I was so hooked on it that sometime later, I brought my Dreamcast to my best friend's house, and he's a PC gamer who looks down on anything made on console and I wanted to impress him with Shenmue having graphics that was on par with PC games. He watched intently as I played and as I moved Ryo around Dubuita asking people questions, he was very intrigued with how it made him feel as if he was in Japan. It left quite an impression on him, and he ended up buying the games himself, even though he's not into most console games. I also had my dad and my sister who aren't big gamers watch me as I played the game and they were very impressed with how it felt like an action movie, watching Ryo taking out enemies with ease with his martial arts moves. That was what made Shenmue magical for me. When Shenmue 2 came out years later on Xbox, I bought that day 1 and played it extensively from start to finish. Loved it. Definitely an improvement over Shenmue 1 including a gameplay feature where you can ask people to lead you to your destination which was super helpful as I'm bad with directions. Years later, I bought this bundle on Steam and got 100% achievements on both games because they have a special place in my heart.

What can I say about Shenmue 1 and 2 that hasn't already been said? For 20 years these have been my favorite games, II in particular, and around every Christmas I boot up Shenmue 1. This year I wanted to try the PC version of the HD remasters, which I already own on PS4, and it's such an excellent port. Here's - hopefully - to twenty more years of Shenmue 1 and 2, two games that have been with me through the best times and the worst times. I will say that 1 hits even more after the passing of one's father. You truly feel and understand Ryo a little more now. Remember to cherish your friends everyone.

I don’t think younger generations can fully grasp how pivotal Shenmue was for modern gaming. It may feel dated today, but it remains a monument, way ahead of its time. Thank you, Suzuki-san, for Shenmue. It will always hold a special place in my heart.

This is a highly flawed masterpiece. I'm in love with the vibes of this game and especially with the voices in Japanese. Although this game has clunky mechanics, repetitive events and really frustrating QTEs, I still love the feeling I get when playing this. I love the music, immersion and story. I somehow have nostalgia for a game I never played as a kid. I see this game through the lens of a 90s kid and it impresses me so much for it's time.
