21Shenmue is often called one of the most ambitious games of all time and after finally playing it in 2025, I get it.
In this video, I dive into a full Shenmue retrospective and review, exploring the story, gameplay, and the bizarre pacing that helped make it a cult classic. From awkward NPC chats and capsule toy addictions to legendary forklift missions and Ryo Hazuki’s wooden charm, Shenmue is truly one of a kind.
If you're into retro games, open-world experiments, or just wondering why this Dreamcast oddity still has such a loyal fanbase, this video has you covered, with a lot of laughs and a little chaos along the way.
