One of my favourite games growing up. I was disappointed when the sequel became an Xbox exclusive in the west. I imported the Japanese copy of Shenmue II and played it on my Dreamcast. Fortunately there were English subtitles.

I of course picked up the Shenmue 1+2 remaster on PS4, and have backed the kickstarter for the third (coming out this August!). You can bet the third will have forklifts! 1+2 don't really hold up that well today, but like many fans, I bought this purely for nostalgic reasons.

If I were to bet, I'd say Shenmue 3 will get metacritic scores in the 70s. It feels like an impossible task honestly. How to update the game for 2019 whilst also pleasing die-hard fans.
