Review: Onimusha: Way Of The Sword (Switch 2) - Capcom Delivers A Superb Samurai Revival
Dawn of a new dream. There’s a lot riding on Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Capcom has a few dormant franchises in its dusty closets just waiting to be revived, yet this one feels particularly significant.

Not everything works, but I feel confident that Onimusha has a thriving future ahead of it. Read the full article on nintendolife.com
