Onimusha: Way of the Sword marks the long-awaited comeback of the series, dropping you into supernatural samurai vs. demon showdowns that feel razor-sharp without the punishing Soulslike difficulty. Playing the gamescom 2025 demo, IGN’s Matt Purslow and Dale Driver were all smiles slicing through hordes of yokai, praising the modern combat tweaks and lightning-fast responsiveness.
It obviously flirts with Sekiro and Ghost of Tsushima vibes—think parries, grappling hooks and lush Japanese landscapes—but keeps a more forgiving edge. If you’re craving ghostly samurai action without the frustration spikes, Onimusha might just hit that sweet spot.
