    With this remaster, Capcom is giving us the chance to discover or rediscover one of Shu Takumi's works in the best possible conditions. The modernised gameplay, reworked animations, rearranged music and integration of Ghost Puzzles do the licence proud. There are, however, a few shortcomings inherent to the original work and its medium. The lack of a Save option and the length of some of the dialogues slightly tarnish the experience, but that is trivial compared to the pleasure we had in thwarting fate.

Updated visuals and an orchestrated soundtrack (with an option to switch to the original), An art gallery that unlocks as you progress through the game, and a good story with likeable characters. It is well worth it!
    Only cons I would say are having no physical release outside of Japan, and not having an optional 16:9 mode like the Onimusha remaster. But I think it was kept in 4:3 only for narrative reasons. Also the framerate is inconsistant with no way to change it on the Switch version.
