A good boss battle is one of the most sublime feelings in the world, like pulling your blanket out of the dryer so it’s all toasty. Way of the Sword’s combat feels visceral in every way, from the way you can feel swords clashing, to the gruesome executions. CapcomOf course, Way of the Sword is an Onimusha game and layers in supernatural weirdness that tinges it with a sense of the unknown. And more than anything, I’m glad that Onimusha: Way of the Sword has its own unique identity. Onimusha: Way of the Sword launches in 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
