Shenmue 1 and 2.

Replayed both in expectation of Shenmue 3 and hoping Suzuki was finally going to give me some much-needed closure.

1 and 2 are absolute chores by today's standards, but still felt compelled to complete and collect as much as possible.

You shush. Shenmue 1&2 are amazing games and to be enjoyed like a novel you love on a rainy day. Beautiful games.

Not many novels have compelled me to do the same roundhouse kick 200 times in a parking lot 😅

Haha don't get me wrong - still love the story, the characters, and the visual style/feeling of the games. Even the combat is still pretty fun.

However, open world mechanics and general RPG quality of life have come a long way, and I'm pretty spoiled by now 🤷🏼‍♂️
