The Beautiful Closed World of Shenmue III

iHobo

This is a critique not a review. If you want my review of Shenmue III it would be 'play this game if you have ever enjoyed a Shenmue game or are interested in unusual approaches to game narrative' It takes me quite a while to get around to playing games these days, which helps insulate me from jumping to kneejerk conclusions about what I've been playing.

D2 log 062 – Menu navigation

Catnip Games

I’d love to see the game running on Steam Deck one day. Until then, I’m using an Xbox controller for testing. Some menus were impossible to navigate with the gamepad or keyboard.
