Great review and thoughts and I agree with your comments.
I think overall it's a good game and the general perception has generally gone down just because YouTubers and comments have put us off
I loved playing through the first time and my main problem is I don't massively want to play it again and that's due to the grinding and other aspects which take time. Whereas shenmue I and 2 I have played around 6 times each
But it's a good part of story and I can't wait for shenmue 4
