Onimusha: Way of the Sword (Capcom)

Capcom and From Software are the only two AAA devs who still seem to actually care about their games. I hope this is good

Players will control Miyamoto Musashi, a legendary (but historically real) Japanese swordsman, artist and writer. This is interesting, but the more compelling wrinkle is that his face is modeled on the legendary (but historically real) actor Toshiro Mifune, who passed away in 1997. Mifune was a leading actor in several Akira Kurosawa movies in the 1950s and ‘60s, including Rashomon, Seven Samurai and Yojimbo

Several gameplay features have carried over to the latest edition of the Onimusha series. Once again, you’re equipped with the Oni gauntlet, now possessing its own sentient voice. The gauntlet is crucial to collecting different types of orbs from enemies. Some will repair health, while others add experience points, skill points and more.

I seriously hope we have the option to use Japanese voice overs, so I don't have to listen to those awful British vo's. No offense, but it just doesn't fit imo and comes across as borderline cringey. Nioh 2 was similar. But the game itself is looking to have that dopamine inducing gameplay, looks sincerely fun
 
just realizing there's a demo out, holy shit! Also seeing the prices for the first time, $70, $80, and $90 versions, lol get fucked! I'll wait til it's $20 then.

no kiddin?...damn! It does have a bit of cringe to it tbh, the voice acting more than anything. I'm gonna give it a go a bit later in the evening and we'll see...
 
hmm, so I just gave it a go. It doesn't seem bad to me. I played with English subs and Japanese voice from the get go so I spared myself from that annoyance :p. The English voice acting literally ruins the game for me. The blocking/dodging and item usage could be a little more peppy imo, but it's not terrible feeling I'd say. I don't like how it's either a must block or a must dodge because then all you're doing is looking for button prompts and not even really focusing on the enemy. Seems pretty linear, or at least the demo section anyway. I'll most likely play it but not for seventy plus dollars.
 
The game now has a benchmark.

Go to the Steam store page and click 'Request Access' under the Way of the Sword Playtest section.
15 GB download.

I ran it at the default settings the benchmark came with. You can configure all the settings if you wish.
It ran pretty good @ 4K but it's not reporting all of my RAM for some reason.
If I was to run it with RT, I would have to drop it down to 1440p.
