Positives

Captures the shenmue feel

Bailu village and niaowu are interesting

I enjoyed the combat

Liked gameplay systems

Enjoyed the character development between shenhua and ryo especially in Bailu village


Negatives

Rushed last area that could have felt better

Few areas of the story could have been touched up to make a better game.

I beat it this past Sunday. It liked it overall, but yeah....there are some growing pains that Ys.net will need to overcome for Shenmue IV. I can tell the game was incomplete and rushed out (very noticeable in the second half), but it didn't ruin the game at all. It's still a Shenmue game at it's core, but just a tier below the first two games.

Just PLEASE don't bring back the Stamina system for IV.
