## 2026-10-08 So every minute I spent fighting a boss in Onimusha it was the greatest game I played this year. Every minute I spent running around in whack-ass, fuck-ass, boring-ass shit-ass eastern kyoto doing stupid fetch quests Onimusha it quickly became the absolute worst game I played this year. Ultimately the boss fights win out, with the final boss being the best thing since [[Nine Sols is a Masterpiece|Nine Sols]] or **Sekiro**, but I wish the game wasn't so scared of just being a full on **Furi**-style boss rush. The padding is totally unnecessary and the time making that could have been spent on making the linear levels even better or add more enemy variety. But the combat really is so good that the minute I was in a battle I completely forgot all my qualms with the game. I hope the sequel works on that particular aspect because it'll be a perfect game. As such that brings the game down from a 6/7 to a 5/7 for me.
