September is finally here. The month the games industry has been talking about in hushed tones, as it feels like every single new game we’ve been waiting for will be released over the next 30 days. That feeling has been compounded hours into the new month, as review scores for the first three big September releases have all dropped at the same time.
By the end of this week, three of September’s biggest games will already be here. Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Orbitals, and The Blood of Dawnwalker. Reviews for all three of those games are now in, and it’s Onimusha currently leading the September pack.
Way of the Sword has an 86 on OpenCritic and an 85 on Metacritic. Not only does that mean it is currently September’s highest-rated game, but it’s tied for the highest-rated game in series history with Onimusha 3: Demon Siege, which also scored 85 on MC. Here at TheGamer, Josh Robertson awarded Way of the Sword a 4.5/5, writing, “If you’re an Onimusha fan praying that this new game will finally revive the series, you should be very excited about the future.”
Before we get our first new Onimusha game since...
