The PS2's golden days were the era of the action-adventure game, with the likes of God of War and Resident Evil 4 (2023) elevating it in terms of pure action and series like Onimusha experimenting with qualities such as exploration and weapon variety.

The first Onimusha already saw an improved re-release back in 2019, but a single port does not a revival make.
