Onimusha: Way of the Sword Review

Good
Excellent, timing-based swordplay
Musashi is a likeable and entertaining protagonist
Focused exploration without unnecessary open-world padding
Progression system complements the combat well

Bad
Regular enemy encounters can become repetitive

That is the balancing act Capcom has had to deal with in bringing back Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the first mainline game in the series since 2006.
