Its a great game with fun characters and a simple plot. The gameplay is samurai resident evil and it a lot of fun the remaster allowing analog controls makes it so much smoother to play. Switching weapons without going into the menu is also a god send. But there are a lot of moments when the game lags and freezes when it changes camera angles or starting a cut scene or going to the menu and it takes a thirty seconds to a minute to get going again. Its not a deal breaker but it hurts momentum and can be annoying when your really getting into it.
It's fine? I can tell this was probably technically crazy when it originally came out, but like everything else is kind of just womp. The game kind of just feels like its 1 act of a larger story, just so short and left you wanting more(?), I think I could play more anyways. You just get to the end and its like "that was it? what was that?". That final FMV is fucking raw though.
I had never played Onimusha and it's exactly what i expected. Just Samurai Resident Evil with some fun upgrades along the way and even 2 playable characters. However, Ps2 games are something else, game is under 3 hours long without even rushing and it even ends on a Cliffhanger that seemingly doesn't get resolved. Really fun for what it is.
