Onimusha: Warlords is a little forgotten gem from the early 2000s, released on the sixth generation of video game consoles. At its core, it's Resident Evil but set in the Sengoku period of Japanese history, where you play mainly as the samurai Samanosuke, tasked to defeat an ancient evil.

You'll be exploring a single memorable castle, filled with traps, locked doors or devices that require an item to be found and used, and different kinds of enemies, who are there to stop your progress. Although it's a pretty straightforward game with very little side exploration, it has a few surprises up its sleeves.

Another thing to note is that this game has a phenomenal original soundtrack that has been replaced due to the controversy surrounding the composer. That being said, the new music I believe is underappreciated and sounds quite good, even if compared to the old one.

It is hardly a perfect game, but I had quite a lot of fun and for those looking for something like the original Devil May Cry, I highly recommend it.
