Overall feels like a good port that runs well on my machine. But it lacks something critical and fundamental to the original. The pressure sensitive shoulder buttons of the ps2 controller allowed you to ready your weapon or charge it with the same button. It felt intuitive, precise and fun. You are missing a unique interactive feature that feels like gripping your sword tighter if you cant play that version. The pressure sensitive buttons of the dualshock 2 controllers were completely non intrusive and comparatively indestructible when put against any other controllers. They should come back to gaming. It was an amazing feature we have regressed. I want to press A harder to accelerate my car faster again.

Onimusha 2 has a better combat system than the first game and it actually has a good story and characters for a game of its kind. Once you learn the Issen timing for each enemy, it becomes so much more enjoyable since you can one shot most things. It is difficult but needs practice. It is a nice mechanic in every Onimusha game. It has more characters as well and has some replay value because of the different friendship routes. Because of that it can take some time if you want to 100% the game. Overall I like the second game a little more than the first game but not as much as Onimusha 3 Demon Siege. Hopefully one day the third game will get remastered as well. One can only hope.

Censorship aside, Onimusha 2 is basically everything I want in a videogame. The game tells a simple and engaging story. Cutscenes are not frequent and they are quick, so you spend most of your time actually playing the game. The game encourages you to use every weapon you find because they all have their own magic bar. This allows you to main a weapon you prefer while strategically using others magic attacks to deliver a lot of damage to bosses or oneshot stronger enemies. The characters in the game are all unique, with different playstyles. The gift mechanic lets you choose who to be friend with, which impacts also the story. Depending on how you treat your allies, you can get different story moments, such as a character betraying you, another one oneshotting a boss or giving you a special weapon you can't find anywhere else and more. The game even lets you play as these characters in certain areas, giving you some different experience for a while. To get 100% completion, you have to play through the story multiple times and each playthrough can be different based on your interactions with the characters as mentioned earlier. Beyond that, you can aim for achievements, play on higher difficulties or try the extra gamemodes as they offer unique experiences, like encountering an enemy not found in the main story (which I loved), a puzzle focused gamemode or a mode where you can swap character anytime. Unlike the first Onimusha, you explore a variety of areas, so you don't feel stuck in one giant space you have to figure out like in classic Resident Evil. The backtracking is minimal unless you get lost. There are optional puzzles throughout the game that give you extra resources or key items. While only 3 puzzles are mandatory to beat the game, solving them all is better as you get a much easier time against bosses or normal enemies due to extra resources, upgrades and new attacks you can learn. The combat is simple but with some interesting stuff. Beyond basic attacks, you can use a kick to knock enemies down, giving you some time to focus on another enemy or perform the ground attack that deals a lot of damage and kills most low tier enemies. You can also sidestep attacks instead of relying only on blocking since you can't block all attacks. The game also has parries and the “counter” mechanic. Simply attack or block right before an enemy's attack hits you to oneshot them. Speaking of enemies, there is a good variety of them and they are introduced at the right pace. The fixed camera angles give the game an artistic feel we lost with modern games even though sometimes it's frustating when you can't see properly enemies around you or there are sudden camera changes during combat. The game also has no DLC or microtransactions, meaning you unlock everything just by playing. There are only two things I dislike. The first is the unnecessary censorship in the remaster, it should have been an option to turn on or off (if they had to put it). The second is the 2nd part of the final boss fight. You just run, dodge projectiles, mash the attack button over and over and heal if you get hit by the stupid masks the boss throws at you. The 1st part is way better as it requires you to use all weapons, transformation, dodging, resources etc. The remaster has also introduced 2 good changes to the gameplay. One of them is the ability to quickly change weapons without opening your inventory. The 2nd change is the transformation mechanic. Now you can transform at will after collecting five big souls. In the original game you were transforming automatically once you collected them all. This allows you to be more strategic. For example, you can save your transformations for bosses to gain an advantage at the beginning of the fight. I loved this remastered and I hope we see Onimusha 3 on Steam too in the future.

This is one that can really catch you off guard if you don't know what you're getting into. First of all it's not a horror game, or even horror adjacent like the original Onimusha. Second of all it's a game that is quite beginner unfriendly in a rather unique way--the weird trading/friendship system is essentially the only way to accumulate items (useful item pick-ups are rare) and if you don't realize this, you can end up in pretty sorry state in the late game. Healing orbs are common enough against the regular enemies that you might not think it a problem, but this game shares the old school Resident Evil trait of being perfectly willing to allow players to get completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥ over by bosses if they didn't know a good stock of healing items was pretty much essential. And in this game you have to trade for them. And about 75% of the items you can get ahold of for trading are only available in like the first third of the game, on top of having no one to trade with anyway if you didn't properly manage the friendship system. The cutscenes can also be a bit cringe but that's par for the course with early 2000s Capcom.

This game is literally a fever dream to me. I got it when I was ten at game stop and it was used. It came in one of those generic cover cases with the pictures of cartoon characters playing video games on it for five dollars, the disk was all scratched up but it worked. I had a high fever for a week and a half, and I sat in my parents bedroom playing this barely understanding reality and played all the way through, I barely remembered any of it immediately following beating it and wasn't really aware of what was going on the whole time I only knew the game was trippy as hell. I was tripping nuts and never touched it after that. So glad to play it again finally at the age of 27.
