Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny reviewed by Shacknews
Review Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny by Shacknews
Combat is responsive and satsifying
Quite a few main weapons to claim and master
Relationship changes the flow of the story heavily
QoL changes improve upon already solid controls
Plenty of replayability between branching story and challenges
Give Magoichi Saiga stuff until you are cool besties
Free movement sometimes clashes with the fixed camera
Occasional framerate drop in busy action scenes
Relationship system is unforgiving and pivotal
Grinding gold for gifts is a bit of a time sink

Review Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny by Nintendo Life
Still an excellent sequel more than 20 years on
Lots of great characters, even if Jubei isn't the most engaging protagonist
Gameplay is slick, with plenty of depth
Neat little extras bolster the overall package nicely
Hell Mode should prove a worthy challenge for veterans
16:9 widescreen mode just cuts off the top and bottom of the screen
Fixed camera angles felt dated back in 2002
Minigames are fun but ultimately throwaway

Rich and cinematic narrative.
Remastered to enhance the original material.
A good endowment of extras and new content.
Today again, the bow remains indigestible.
Back pain is sometimes felt.

The new additions
Adjustments in Spanish localization

The fixed camera could have been renewed.
The backup system remains very old.

A nostalgic awakening of a good era for video games.
Several updates (improvement of the visual aspect and addition of additional content).
It is the product of its time - with all that implies, both positive and negative.

Review Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny by Pizza Fria
The remastering respectfully preserves the essence of the title released in 2002.
Inclusion of difficulty modes
Subtitled in Brazilian Portuguese
HD visuals with a 16:9 aspect ratio
It still has technical and structural limitations typical of the PS2 era.
Fixed cameras remain problematic.
Lack of deeper improvements in the remaster.

Review Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny by GameScore.it
Unique atmosphere combining Japanese folklore, hack and slash action, and a touch of horror.
Lots of additional content and excellent replay value, with alternative modes, mini-games, and an art gallery already unlocked from the start.
"Quality of life" features, such as automatic saves and no loading screens, that enhance the experience without altering the original game.
There is a lack of more advanced accessibility options for subtitles and text colors.
The fixed camera system may seem a bit rigid or outdated to players accustomed to more dynamic perspectives.

The gameplay of Onimusha 2 still holds up well, and the game remains enjoyable.
Almost complete package, with galleries, additional modes, costumes, and various contents.
We could have perhaps done more to modernize certain elements of the original title.
