Shenmue is truly special to me because it reminds me of the beauty of gaming and what happens when you push the boundaries of what's possible. The attention to detail and realism and potrayal of 1980s life in Japan is truly amazing.
Shenmue is what really gave birth to the AAA games we see now. A beautifully crafted world, awesome soundtrack and a story that hits home. This game came in the very formative years of modern gaming as we know it now. Shenmue's world is richly detailed and expands inwards rather than outwards. A game that walked so many others could run and a title that influenced so many others!
Shenmue is easily my favorite game of all time. The amount of characters you can interact with, the detailed world that you can explore, and the groundbreaking fighting system make it an absolute joy to play. Played through all 3 games at least 6 times each and would happily do another playthrough if 1+2 come out here. Please make it happen GOG.
