Shenmue III is the sequel to the Japanese action-RPG series, which started in 1999 on the Dreamcast console. Yu Suzuki, the creator of the third installment of the cycle, has decided to start developing the title fourteen years after the release of the last edition. Shenmue III has been partially funded by the fans through a Kickstarter campaign.
Shenmue III continues the suspended story of Ryo Hazuki, an adept of martial arts, searching for the men responsible for murdering his father. Together with his companion, a girl named Shenhua, Ryo embeds deeper into the complex and convoluted mystery.
The third installment of the cycle offers an open world and brand new fighting mechanics. The graphics for Shenmue III have been created using the Unreal Engine 4 technology.

PC Gamer: 83 / 100 by Andy Kelly
A seamless continuation of the series that makes up for its limitations with pure heart. It's like Ryo never left us.
Metro GameCentral: 6 / 10
A literal dream come true for fans and while most others will struggle to understand the appeal it's impossible not to admire Yu Suzuki's vision and tenacity in not only making the game but making it his way.
IGN: 5.9 / 10 by Kyle Hilliard
Rejoining Ryo Hazuki's quest to avenge his father is exciting, but Shenmue 3 feels like a game that has ignored the innovation and progress of the last 20 years of video game development.
