IGN review

And......they gave it a 6.5/10 because the graphics are too outdated. Very professional review from professional journalists.

Well that orange skybox at the beginning of the game doesn't help it's case either does it? Capcom should've at least filter that pixelated skybox since its part of the very first textures that you see when starting the campaign.

6.5 lets kill a popular franchise to stop Capcom releasing another Onimusha game for the modern gen..... This is to convince Capcom to make another ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game..... Please quit your job reviewer.

I do agree they should update the graphics for this because it's called a remaster. but the fixed camera angle is find. Also, just sound's cringy you saying this is unacceptable for 2019. Like it's some major issue with life going on these day's. haha

Who cares about these "journalists" LOL they don't have space on PC gaming anymore. First because they are already a joke on the internet, and second, we have steam reviews and communities. The tools Steam gave us are far better than a "professional journalist" point of view, and 99% of the PC releases are available on Steam :P

Don't take me wrong, it's nice that you pointed out their "professional review" OP

This is why nobody takes IGN seriously. They are so bad at reviewing games.

They affect the sales because newer generation kids will be like. well I ain't gonna buy that Japanese looking game with "classic Resident Evil" controls.

same company IGN that gave Alien Isolation a very poir review. IGN Can go ♥♥♥♥ themselves

Honestly I have never played the game before. That being said, I would not give the game more than a 6.5 either. The story and characters feel bad and stereotype, like someone telling you a child story as if you were six years old. The fighting system must have been bad already when the game was originally released and it feels like a lackluster medieval Japanese Resident Evil with a touch of a bad Hack 'n' Slash.

I am not even talking about the background graphics that were simply imported from the original version without even thinking of updating them leaving them heavily pixelated. Of course i understand that there were people who loved this game when it was originally released and that it had widely good reviews back then. But even back in 2001 games like Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Tenchu or God of War were better and felt way more responsive and agile.

Sure it is playable enought to throw in a few minutes every now and then but calling it a great game let alone a classic - even if you consider the time it was released originally - feels at least as much biased as the IGN review may be.

Of course many will disagree with my POV but that is how i experienced the game.

The user reviews are also mostly bad on metacritic. I love the original and I'm loving playing it again, but I understand that it's not a game that many modern players will be able to get used to it's gameplay style, story and graphics.
The game is almost 20 years old and it was barely changed in this version, which is fine for me but newcomers will certainly have a hard time to adapt.

It's sad but I still hope that Capcom doesn't give up on the idea of making a totally new Onimusha game.
