Onimusha: Way of the Sword is an excellent action game and a worthy rebirth for the series after decades of absence. Its combat system is deep and, above all, rewarding, even if it takes some patience to master, while the fights have a strong, realistic feel and the story has a cinematic impact. Too bad for the repetitiveness of the final hours and the sometimes excessive difficulty, but it's a title worth trying if you are looking for a stimulating action game.

However, it stumbles slightly in its storytelling, which may not appeal to everyone. Nevertheless, it remains a strong return for the series and a standout experience for fans of samurai games.
