💾Graphics - The graphics were expected of an old PS2 game, and it looks more sharper and stable with its gameplay.

66 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I think the story was pretty decent and playing as a demon slaying Samurai is pretty cool.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

This game feels a little like a remastered version with all the improvements for modern gaming and its new feudal Japanese soundtrack, making it feel all refreshing and engaging.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Unlike my expectations of a harder difficulty mode (though Hell is present, a 1-hit die mode for those who want it.. Yikes), Ultimate does something frankly more games should.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

I tend to dislike old-school titles because of their outdated graphics and mechanics, but I was drawn into Onimusha because of its art and setting.
