Most of us want an Onimusha remake, but an Onimusha 2 remake would be more than welcome. It’s time a special series is brought back in our eyes, Jason Rocha explores this as part of our PS2 Classics Series, part of PauseResumeQ4.
If you like playing as unstoppable warriors and skilled assassins, you won't want to miss these hits of 2025.
"Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny feels stuck between 2025 and 2002. Not quite enough of the past to be pure nostalgia, and not enough of the present to feel fresh."
- Stuart Cullen, TechStomper
Pssshhh this was an excellent experience and I highly recommend anyone who’s interested to check this game out.
I thought it was great very much enjoyed it, and highly recommend
Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny has some dated elements that are front and center, but it remains a great experience all these years later.
This is what I do not get. There are so much great IP and they are doing nothing with it. Remaster/HD release. Release it on virtual to cut down on costs. Every platform now has digital distribution.
Onimusha 2 Remaster is all I need. I only ever remember playing through the first one once back in the day and it was a very "early PS2" affair with that similar half a second pause when it switches the camera shot from one prerendered background screen to the next.
The second one was when things kicked into overdrive and it still hold ups well today much like RE REmake. The 3rd one was a step back for me, going with less impressive 3d environments and that whole Jean Reno thing WITHOUT his actual voice drove me nuts. I never really played much of the 4th one at all and I forget if it was well received or not.
Please, Please, Please! I still own the original 3.
original Trilogy was great. I played the first one through last year. Keep meaning to pay through the 2nd and 3rd again soon.
