Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny is a good follow-up to the original Onimusha and improves on it in almost every way, and this remaster is the definitive way to play it. The combat feels great, the upscaled pre-rendered backgrounds are gorgeous, and the colorful cast of characters helps propel the story above the first game in the series. Some half-baked systems and mechanics hold it back from being truly great, but I still recommend this to those who love the original release and to those who may have never played the series before.
The Midnight Walk is an astounding achievement of artistic vision that triumphantly tells both a heart-warming and terrifying story of perseverance and finding light in the darkest of times. It is an impressive labor of love that hopefully will find the audience it deserves and be at the top of game of the year lists come Winter.
