Play as Ryo Hazuki, an 18-year-old martial artist continuing his search for the man who killed his father. His journey through rural China leads him to investigate the mystery of the Phoenix Mirror and question people who may know more about it.
Explore villages and towns, speak with locals, follow clues, and take on small tasks. Residents have daily routines, and the world offers side activities such as fishing, gambling, collecting items, and playing arcade games.
Train martial arts techniques and use them in fights, while earning money through activities and part-time work. Ryo also needs food to maintain his stamina, making money and daily preparation part of progressing through his investigation.
Players who enjoy Shenmue III often value its rural settings, quiet daily routines, and familiar style, especially when they have played the earlier games. Reviews also praise its side activities, character interactions, and martial arts training. Others find the slow pace and repeated tasks tedious, so the deliberate day-to-day rhythm is a point of division.
