Onimusha: Way of the Sword

I’m so conflicted about this game, on one hand you got an amazing gameplay loop with the most satisfying swordplay experience since Sekiro, and on the other hand a mediocre story at best which starts really weak in terms of presentation and writing (the changes between full-on cutscenes and the simple characters standing and just chatting is jarring), although I loved Miyamoto Musashi’s character and his coolness. I enjoyed my time exploring Eastern Kyoto, I got all the collectibles and did all the side missions cause it was fun to just fight enemies and the way they designed each encounter is impressive cause you’ll never get bored of it, it’s really fun but the story really drags the whole game down and leaves a bad impression overall.
