    Onimusha

    This game is 100% a 10/10, it literally has everything I could ask in an action combat game. The story is greatly paced with no down time especially if you take the time to do the side quests. I pray this goat wins game of the year!!

    Best game ever

    This game absolutely rocks and I absolutely loved playing it. It did arrive about 2 days late because I stupidly pre-ordered (never do this if you want to play on release day lol).

    Awesome Game

    So this game is almost Perfect . For a game that has been dormant for quite awhile capcom did a great job on reviving this game. There’s not much I can say that I don’t like about the game but some missions side quests are a little repetitive or filler. But the combat shines the best once you get a good feel with the parry system which is a must with some boss fights and some of the other enemies it just feels good. Definitely a fun game I bought the steelbook version which has some amazing artwork on it. Definitely a game to add to your collection

    Awesome Game! Awesome Steelbook!

    I don't normally write reviews but Onimusha: Way of the Sword is way too good of a game and I want people to enjoy it! I played the OGs on the PS2 so when I heard about this one I was stoked. Story was amazing, gameplay was so fun and the cinametic cut scenes were beautiful. The Steelbook itself looks freaking amazing, love that Capcom gave us this option. Really wished more companies would do the same. Overall great game, spent about 35hrs playing the game. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys a good combat/story driven game!

    Fantastic game

    Wasnt sure about the game until i played the demo and was hooked. It is challenging, but in a good way that feels rewarding. You cant just hack and slash your way through without thought. You have to have a certain rhythm to counter attacks and use different techniques at the right time. You will die in this game, but you will also learn and feel progression in boss fights and the game itself. Highly recommend.
