Shenmue III continues Ryo Hazuki's revenge quest through rural 1980s China at a deliberately slow pace. Daily routines, martial arts training, mini-games and conversations with villagers matter more than fast action.

The Legend of Tianding

Historical setting

A hand-drawn 2D action game about Taiwanese folk hero Liao Tianding, who robs the rich in colonial-era Taipei under Japanese rule. Fast beat-'em-up combat and platforming are paired with a story steeped in local folklore.

Mafia

Pure single-player experience

A cinematic gangster drama set in 1930s Lost Heaven, following cab driver Tommy Angelo's rise within the Salieri crime family. Authentic period cars, punishing shootouts and one of the finest stories of its era make it a classic.

The Warriors

Easy to pick up

A brawler built on the 1979 cult film: as a Coney Island gang you fight your way across a nighttime New York while every rival gang hunts you. Street fights, heists and escape sequences capture the gritty atmosphere well.

Way of the Samurai 2

Pure single-player experience

You play a samurai in feudal Japan who can save the town of Amahara from violence and unrest or join the corrupt side. Your choices shape the ending in this open, sandbox-style sword fighter with many blades to find.

Yakuza Kiwami

Pure single-player experience

The remake of the first Yakuza follows Kazuma Kiryu through the red-light district of Kamurocho: a serious crime drama contrasted by absurd side activities and heavy-hitting brawls.

Yakuza

Pure single-player experience

The series opener follows Kazuma Kiryu, freshly out of a ten-year prison term and dragged into a power struggle over 10 billion missing yen. Street brawls, side stories and minigames in the Kamurocho nightlife district blend serious gangster drama with offbeat humor.
