Funniest thing is that there is zero actual difficulty or puzzles or limited saves, but it's still one of the most frustrating games I have ever played and I actually loved Shenmue 1.

Genius idea for a series without the genius of game design or directing and producing possessed by Mikami, Kamiya, Kojima or Nomura or others.So many things they could have done with this series or Yakuza but the well ran dry with the first games.

The idea of a simulated time capsule world was novel for the time, but has lost its luster as it didn't carry through on entertainment value.

Game ratings here have always been absurd

Yeah, S1 pulls off what it attempts more smoothly than S2 did. The smaller world, non-repeated unique NPCs and more personal story made it age better
