Shenmue Surprisingly Named Most Influential Video Game of All Time
Without a doubt, the game recognized as the Most Influential Video Game of All Time in the BAFTA poll, based on global player votes, is none other than Shenmue. First introduced on the Dreamcast back in 1999, this groundbreaking title laid the foundation for numerous games that followed. Its innovative approach to storytelling was reminiscent of cinema, while its day-night and weather cycles, as well as dynamic non-player characters, made it an immersive open world like no other at the time.
