Onimusha: Way of the Sword is the latest victim of the dreaded AAA videogame disease: Padded Runtime Via Unsatisfying Upgrade Materials. It could be a lot worse: thankfully there’s no level gating in Onimusha that requires you to accrue an arbitrary set of stats before you can tackle a particular quest. It’s not an RPG,…

For the uninitiated, protagonist Coen has about 30 days and nights to save his family, the ticking clock of which is tracked in the UI. Completing quests, levelling up, and ticking off side-objectives costs…
I had a lot of one-hour appointments at Gamescom, but none of them had time escaping from me quite like my 60 minutes with Petit Planet.
