It might be the nostalgia talking, but this was a great time. The pre-rendered environments, great hack n slash action, the unsettling music and a ton of demons. For some reason, despite it being very similar to Resident Evil, I never played this on the PS2. It was extremely my thing, but it just passed me by. I did play the sequel with Jean Reno, however. Although I can't remember if I finished that one.
Anyway, it took me about 3 hours to beat this, and while that's not a great deal of time, the fun I had doing it (aside from that awful gauntlet of puzzles about an hour in) mae it worth it. As I say, I think some of it is nostalgia talking, as some of the corridors gave me big Resi 1 vibes, and it really struck a chord with me.
It's probably been one of the more entertaining games I've played recently, and I think the time it's taken is a contributing factor. I would love some more of these ports/remasters. Not just Onimusha, but more of these pre-rendered action or horror games. I loved them back in the day. I'd happily pay however much I paid for this for more of the same.
