GOTY!!!!

[b][u]⚔️Exceptionally Good, Fiercely Rewarding, and Damn Close to a Masterpiece[/u][/b] After fully completing the game, mastering Carnage Difficulty, and securing the Platinum Trophy, I can confidently say that Onimusha: Way of the Sword is a fantastic action game. It delivers a deeply engaging rhythm-based combat loop that gets incredibly close to greatness, even if a few structural elements hold it back from being a flawless masterpiece. [b]🌸 Character Growth and Intriguing Villains[/b] The narrative really surprised me. The cast is filled with interesting characters. Even the villains, like Dokyo, who is shrouded in mystery makes her presence feel more eerie and compelling leaving you fascinated by her twisted, unexplained experiments. The highlight, however, is the main character, Musashi as he has fantastic character growth. In the beginning, he is a cocky goober who lives solely for combat, does whatever it takes to win, and arrogantly assumes everything should go his way. But through his journey, guided by the wisdom of his senior Onimusha, Takamura, Musashi learns the hard lesson that life is pain and will not bend to his convenience. He still lives for the thrill of battle, he is a samurai after all, but he learns that losing is OK, and that true strength comes from accepting the help of his friends. [b]🎮 Wow-Factor Combat and the Issen System[/b] The combat is a massive standout. The core loop is wildly exciting because it is entirely about finding the natural rhythm of a fight. Musashi has a plethora of special moves to dispatch the Genma: blocking, parrying, deflecting, Oni ornament weapons, and the powerful Oni Awakening state. The game’s famous Issen mechanic is brilliantly deep and can be executed in three distinct ways: 1) Pressing attack at the exact microsecond before an enemy strike lands (incredibly difficult to pull off). 2) Filling the Issen gauge by successfully dodging a sequence of attacks, which guarantees an Issen on your next dodge. 3) Activating Oni Awakening, which makes executing Issens significantly easier. As a deaf player, I rely 100% on a game’s visual language. While the frame-perfect standard Issen timing was too narrow for me to consistently hit by eye, the combat loop is so flexible that I could rely entirely on standard deflections, spatial awareness, and meter management to conquer the game. The visual design is backed by top-notch sound effects; the sharp, crisp "clank" of clashing blades is absolute chef's kiss, and the minor detail of the blade drawing and sheathing sounds incredibly satisfying alongside a solid musical score. [b]👹 Carnage Difficulty and the Repetitive Grind[/b] On Carnage Difficulty, the challenge scales beautifully. While the early game is fairly easy and standard enemies remain simple to defeat throughout, you must always respect them. If you lose focus for a second, standard mobs can easily delete your health bar or flat-out kill you.The bosses are varied and highly entertaining, but the game has a habit of making you fight a handful of them over and over again. While this boss recycling feels like pure padding and gets quite repetitive, the bright side is that it forced me to get genuinely good at reading their patterns. [b]👁️ Accessibility: A True Teaching Tool[/b] The inclusion of the "Action Prompt" feature in the accessibility settings deserves massive praise. It shows you the best face buttons to press against specific enemy moves. It isn't a brainless "I win" button because it doesn't tell you when to press them, but it serves as an exceptional teaching tool to memorize boss tells on standard difficulties. While this option is completely stripped away on Carnage Difficulty, using it early on allowed me to fully internalize the enemy movesets through pure visual recognition. [b]🐾 Where the Game Falters: Padding and Price[/b] The weakest part of the experience by far is Lady Murasaki and "her stories." Her questline requires you to fulfill various tasks, including tracking down her missing Liondogs who are out gathering folklore intelligence. At the end of each quest, she subjects you to a lengthy monologue. While it tries to add lore and backstory, it ultimately feels like artificial fluff and unnecessary padding. Lastly, the price point is a very hard pill to swallow. While CAPCOM games are beautifully polished and highly optimized, the retail price of $107.95 AUD is very difficult to stomach. I personally chose to buy a key from a legitimate third-party seller at a fairer price. Unless you are a die-hard, unconditional CAPCOM fan, I highly recommend waiting for a sale or looking for a cheaper external deal. [b]📝 Final Verdict[/b] Onimusha: Way of the Sword isn't quite a perfect masterpiece, but it is incredibly close. It is a visually stellar, mechanically deep action title that respects player adaptability. If you love deep pattern recognition and tight, rhythmic combat, it is absolutely worth your time. [b][u]Rating: 8.5/10[/u][/b]

似ている雰囲気の仁王３とかをやっていると自由度やアクションに不満が出るかもしれない。 正直なところ吸魂は探索中は面倒に感じ、ボス戦ではテンポ悪いなと感じる。 装備は強化制で強化アイテムはそこらへんに散らばっているため、探索しないとまともに強化が出来なくなる。 ただ、最近のスタイリッシュアクションに飽きた人には刺さると思います、ジャンプすらないし。 色々不満は書きましたが良作だと思います。傑作や神ゲーとは私には言えませんが。
