There is confusion, everywhere where gaming is concerned, between objectivity and subjectivity. A gaming journalist's/critic's objective job is to objectively present to whom a game is addressed and then to objectively analyze if/why it achieves its ambition. For example, Shenmue as a new kind of entertainment, is addressed to players who enjoy an immersive, natural/lifelike/believable/living/breathing/based-on-real-standards, pro-social and story-dependent world, and it achieves its ambition for such and such a reason.
However, their objective job is not to share their opinion, and, thus, their subjective view and personal aesthetic judgement, on why they loved/liked or hated/disliked a game. Of course, some journalists/critics publicize their articles under the label "opinion" (but, sometimes, some of them abuse this, to present, at the end, an ode or a condemnation, to influence the public opinion through a website which gets a lot of traffic, or as a clickbait to get a lot of traffic).
Personally, I believe, Shenmue III will have the same fate as its predecessors. The vast majority of critics will try to find in Shenmue III something that isn't there and was never meant to be in there. They will criticize it based on the traditional standards (as I mentioned in my previous post), and not based on the new/different standards of its unique/individual genre. [And the same applies to other games, too, which have a bizarre, capricious and/or idiosyncratic style (compared to the ones which follow the orthodox styles).]

Last night on Sega Europe's Sega Central live stream, Dan Sheridan (community manager) received a question about Sega showing fans and viewers around their Headquarters , and went on to say that he had been thinking of showing us each of Sega's themed rooms! He's currently live streaming from the Company of Heroes room but went on to say that they also have various themed rooms, one of them being a Shenmue room!
I'll try and get him to show us this room in the future , but it wasn't something I expected him to say, I would never have thought they would dedicate a room to Shenmue like that - hopefully it's a new room they've themed to help inspire them whilst working on Shenmue HD haha
This is the part of the show where he mentions about the themed rooms -
