It’s a very slow start, lots of cutscenes and the combat is fairly easy for the first 4/5 hours. However the boss fights are intense and require thoughtful engagement with the mechanics. The story is kinda whatever, and the dialogue can be a little generic action hero type of vibe (which some people are down for) overall very much worth the purchase.

It's been a long time coming, but Onimusha is back! Stellar graphics and engaging combat are the main draws. Good voice acting but with extremely weird lip synch-- it's perfect during cutscenes and horrible in the real-time sequences. Super fun to kick demon butt, but some repetitive bosses show up too many times. The side quests vary from kinda weird and interesting to completely boring "check the box" activities. Overall I enjoyed my time with this game but I think it could be even better!

I'm just going to say it. This game has what I would consider to be the best swordplay I've ever experienced in a video game, and it can easily stand alongside some of the best action games this industry has to offer. On top of that, the main protagonist is just so cool. If you want to feel like a cool samurai, then look no further. This has all you can ask for and more. Now, I wouldn't say this game is perfect. It does have its flaws here and there. For instance, side content is rather boring for the most part. They are optional, but you will be at a disadvantage when it comes to weapon and skill upgrades if you don't do them. Doubly so when you consider that the difficulty in this game can ramp up to levels that might be a little too much for the average gamer. Trust me when I say that you're going to want those upgrades on your first playthrough. In any case, Capcom really outdid themselves this year. I am glad they remember Onimusha was a thing, and now we may see more from this franchise in the future.

This game is very fun to play. The different areas to explore are beautiful. The gameplay is incredible. It has some of the best action gameplay for the genre. Only complaint with the game is that it has brutal difficulty spikes with boss fights. I almost gave up on the final boss fight. However, I decided to give it one more attempt and I was able to finish the game. That victory was incredibly satisfying.

This game has me quite locked in. Capcom made another great title in the recent installment of the Onimusha games. I love the flow of the combat and the overall controls while navigating the action-packed world. I haven’t given up the chance to fire this game up and continue my journey.

Absolutely loved this game! The combat feels incredible, the atmosphere is amazing, and it really captures what makes Onimusha special while still feeling fresh. If you're a fan of action games or the original Onimusha series, this is a must-play. I love, love, LOVE this game!

As my first time playing Onimusha series, just WOW. What an amazing story and graphics this game has, and the combat is amazing! it took me 30 to complete which i‘d say is a good length for the price. This game definitely makes me want to visit the old onimusha games. Another CapCom hit!

Gameplay is extremely satisfying and appropriately challenging throughout. Story, characters, world design are all top notch but it's the gameplay that'll keep you hooked. Love this combat system so much. Highly recommend this game!

Always incredibly refreshing when you buy a game day one and it runs perfectly. The gameplay and swordplay in this game is top notch. Been having a blast with this one. I would highly recomend, you will not be disapointed.

This game is absolutely great but this is also freaking hard as heck. But is one great fun game to play highly recommend

Great graphics, great combat, great game. Would recommend the game to anyone, fantastic…

I've been playing the Onimusha games since the PS2 and this did not disappoint after a 20 year hiatus! I will say the combat isn't as fast as the original four games on PS2, however the combat on here is very rewarding once you get it down. Capcom didn't go the souls route with the franchise either and is still quite fun for those looking for a good adventure.

One of the few games I kind of wish was shorter, because when the game is on the golden path and pushing you through it's best content it's fantastic. Unfortunately it does pad that material out quite a bit with an open roaming area and quests to revisit old stages that I feel hurt the pacing more than add to the value. Anyways, the combat is relatively simple but the animations and feedback feel excellent so it really gives a decent samurai power fantasy. The boss fights are the real highlight and they are the reason to play the game. A very promising restart to this franchise. Worth playing.

Awesome game. Best sword combat mechanics I've played in a long time. Good story, likeable protagonist, and still completely feels like an Onimusha game. My game of the year so far. Highly recommend this to any action game fans that like combat.

Phantom Blade 0 might be this years wukong. but onimusha is very special. the two things that must be experienced: the main character is the most charming character since han solo/indiana jones. and the combat. its very different. most describe it as sword dance and they are right. its rhythmic, and not like wukong or souls games. It is hard, and can be grindy, but the game is soo good. And the first game of its kind where you actually CARE about the characters. And a great, classic evil villain!!

The game is fantastic, but i was more impressed with best buys delivery of the game. It showed up at my house on the date of the game's release. 5 stars

Onimusha Way of the Sword is a fantastic action game. It starts easy to let you know the combat, the challenge will come later. Story is very interesting

Absolutely phenomenal action game with just the right amount of difficulty and fairness, my only complaint is the side content is not very good.

The game is awesome with top-tier combat. And I got it two days before they said I would with BB’s mail to home service.

enemy variety and barebones side quests (even the good ones have their cool parts hidden in text logs) are its only downfalls but everything else is so fun that I can look past that and hopefully they iron out those things in a sequel because this is a bonafide banger My issues mentioned above aren't as grating because the game is only 20ish hours and doesn't overstay its welcome.
