Onimusha: Way of the Sword

Cool game

Got this bad boy free when I purchased a new graphics card. Couple hours in and damn this game is fantastic. Combat is very fluid and enjoying the characters I've encountered so far. Boss battles are tough enough so you aren't just smashing through them on your first attempt but not super frustrating like Dark Souls can be.

i didnt like it, only one weapon, extremely repetitive and absurdly demanding of parrying system to the point where its like sekiro and i dont like sekiro so i dont like this

I'm just around half of the game, and it is near perfect Probably lowkey bias since I have been an Onimusha fan, but I can almost find no fault in this game. The smoothness of the combat is, without saying, supreme. It keeps getting better and better the more you unlock stuff, too. This is probably the smoothest combat in every action game I've ever played The difficulty is also just right. It's kinda too easy at first I agree, but then it starts ramping up quite a bit after the first section of the game (The oni cave). After reaching Kyoto the game starts being more difficult overtime to the point it becomes quite challenging If you want challenge I'd recommend not upgrading your sword and armor yet until you start struggling real bad. I had a blast going through the game without the upgrades and died a few times to bosses and mobs along the way (sometimes I'd think the hordes of mob are more dangerous than bosses they're ruthless as heck). For me I only started upgrading those two after I'm reaching around the half part of the game where bosses are getting so tanky it starts to get tedious The writings and characters are wonderful as well. Onimusha has been quite a story-focused franchise, and this game elevates it up even more. There are an amount of tear-jerking, uplifting moments, and character developments, with great pacing. At some point you'll like every main cast a lot, especially Musashi himself The game overall has a really great pacing. It doesn't feel like there is any downtime or tediousness in the playthrough at all. Also many treasures to hunt, coupled with upgrades and side quests you can sidetrack from the main story to complete them along the way This game is definitely the GOTY for me. I can't believe it can be this good. Hoping they'd continue this franchise further as it's been so awesome
