Post Script

Seven years is a long time in videogames. In episodic videogames it’s an age. Some Life Is Strange 2 players felt put out at having had to wait four months for its finale, yet it’s been some three-and-a-half years between Acts IV and V of Kentucky Route Zero. Still, it’s all relative, we suppose – if we’re talking about resolving stories, Cardboard Computer has nothing on Yu Suzuki. Eighteen years after Shenmue II, and by the end of the third game, Ryo Hazuki isn’t an awful lot closer to completing his quest.
