    Shenmue has to be one of the most overlooked games ever. Even though it's a masterful blend of RPG elements, action, free-roaming, mild puzzle-solving, and more, it's still not widely recognized.

Sure that was half thanks to my Xbox disc drive starting to break but it also didn’t pull me in like the first one did. Playing them one after another does show the ways in which this one improved on first while also noting how they made some things worse.
