May 21, 2025While it's focuses and tones differ considerably from Onimusha: Warlords, Onimusha 2: Samurai's is a bold departure from its predecessor that largely pays off. While it's not without its flaws as a game, this stellar remaster represents the best way to play what is easily one of the best Onimusha games, and I can't recommend it enough.

May 21, 2025More than two decades later, Capcom has decided to give Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny a second chance. It's inevitable to see that, as a remaster, it leaves something to be desired, but setting aside the fact that it could have taken a more ambitious path, it remains a great video game— incredibly fun and with high replay value.

May 20, 2025A smart remaster that retains the core of the original while improving graphics and adding quality of life improvements, Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny is great for both fans and newcomers.

May 28, 2025There is a lot of game to go at in Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny, as well as a host of bosses to beat, each one providing a stellar challenge. If you like samurai affairs, or the Onimusha games in general, Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny is an easy sell, as it is very much more of the same.

May 21, 2025Some elements of the Onimusha 2 remaster still hold up 23 years after its original release, offering moments of engagement and fun. Others, however, haven't aged as gracefully, and time has taken its toll. As a result, this remaster feels more like an intriguing relic of the past—best appreciated by longtime fans looking to revisit the reasons they once fell in love with the series, rather than newcomers.

May 29, 2025Onimusha 2 was a great game in its time, but times have changed. It definitely has blemishes that showcase game design from the early 2000s. Still, it was fun revisiting this game and I hope they managed to get the third game out there eventually. I just hope it doesn’t take another six years. With a new entry in the franchise on the horizon it would be a great time to revisit these classics. Just know what you are getting into before diving in.

May 20, 2025As a remaster, it’s well done if basic; some upspuffed visuals, a few QoL improvements, and an easier way to revisit the game. But unfortunately the game itself is showing its age, with obtuse objectives and maps and combat that rarely feels fun or exciting to engage in. One for old fans, and cautious new players looking to see what the series is all about before the new Onimusha: Way of the Sword next year.
