Shenmue 1 & 2 HD Remaster PS4

Originally released for the Dreamcast in 2000 and 2001, Shenmue I & II is an open-world action-adventure title combining jujitsu, investigation, RPG elements and unforgettable mini-games. It pioneered many aspects of modern video gaming, including open-world city exploration, and was the game that invented the limited-time event, better known as "Quick Time Event" (QTE).

It was one of the first games to feature a persistent open world with day and night cycles, weather changes, opening and closing shops with NPCs moving as they pleased. Its epic, captivating story and dynamic world have created a generation of die-hard fans, and the game is frequently included in "greatest games of all time" lists.
