About Shenmue III

About this game

Continue Ryo Hazuki’s adventure in Shenmue III from YS Net and publisher Deep Silver.

The Story Continues

The narrative picks up with Ryo Hazuki, a young Japanese martial artist driven by a fierce desire for revenge following his father's murder. In this third instalment of the beloved Shenmue series, Ryo embarks on a quest to unravel the secret of the Phoenix Mirror — an enigmatic artefact linked to his father's killer.

A Legacy of Innovation

Shenmue, conceived under the genius of director Yu Suzuki, stands as one of the most ambitious ventures in videogame history. This ground-breaking game pioneered the open-world concept for action RPGs. It was celebrated worldwide for its immersive narrative, cinematic sequences, and realistic combat mechanics, all set within a world brimming with mini-games and activities.

The Adventure Unfolds

Ryo's journey brings him to a vividly-realised rural China, alive with activity and set within stunning landscapes. As he ventures through towns and mountain villages, players have the opportunity to further Ryo's training, engage in gambling, enjoy arcade games, and undertake part-time jobs — all while delving deeper into the mystery of the Phoenix Mirror.

Added it to the bundle I got since the minimum was 3 items, and gifted the key to a friend since he'd been wanting the game for awhile. (I've never really been interested in the series) Seems he's enjoyed it so fa, so if you're into the series I'd say it's worth buying.
