Why Shenmue 3’s Ending Is So Disappointing
OBVIOUS MASSIVE SPOILER WARNING! This shouldn't come as a surprise, but this article discusses the end of Shenmue 3 in-depth. If you don't want it spoiled, turn back now!
Shenmue 3 is a game that, by rights, shouldn’t exist. The series’ ambitious Dreamcast entries didn’t sell well enough to greenlight more sequels, meaning fans had all but given up hope of seeing a continuation of Ryo Hazuki’s epic story. But in 2015, a Kickstarter for a third entry was launch and almost immediately funded. Creator Yu Suzuki would finally get his chance to revisit the series and potentially bring its story to the close that fans had been clamoring for.

The Best Games of 2019 So Far – November Update
With the end-of-year rush now behind us, we're looking back at the best games of 2019 so far. We've already covered the best games on each system — PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC — but this list encompasses all platforms to provide a more complete look at this year's top reviewed games. Below you'll find all 51 games released in 2019 that received a review score of 8.5 or higher from IGN. Note that, despite their qualifying scores, expansions (e.g. Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers) and ports (e.g. Cuphead and Unravel 2 on Switch) aren't included. Remakes (e.g. Resident Evil 2 and Link's Awakening) are, however, since they are effectively new games rather than remasters.
