Felt like playing the original shenmue without the passage of time. I was skeptical about the graphic at first since the main character had a different art style but i found out that the graphics are well made you can enjoy the beautiful scenery. Even tho it was a budget game they managed to have good graphics in general.
The speach and dialog feels like the old shenmue with a bit of extra options
There is an issue when they point in a general direction that you need to head to . They do not show that direction. And the camera is stuck at the person face.
The training in kung fu is fast based right now. In the original it took you a while to master a move.
In shenmue 2 i felt the charcter fighting got better as he could dodge better and react faster. Sadly in shenmue 3 im currently experimenting the fight style generally i like the old block better since it had parry option.
In general the fight is smoother than before but lacks the realism it had in shenmue 2.
All in all its a good to great shenmue game. Since i played around 12 hours. Mostly spent on arcades and side missions and gambling lol and training.
I still didnt move far in the story. Like only did 7 missions or so
