WTMG's Leo Faria: "At the end of the day, even if it hasn’t aged as well as expected, being able to play Onimusha 2 on modern consoles is still one hell of a treat. Just know what to expect before grabbing a copy. Get ready for some uninteresting cutscenes and dated controls, but stay for the amazing combat, music, and overall setting. As an appetizer before the release of the actual new Onimusha game coming out next year, as well as the stepping stone for a possible remaster of the third entry in the franchise (as in, the best one), Onimusha 2 gets the job done, without a doubt.'
NoobFeed editor Joy writes - Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny remains a fun experience with satisfying combat and puzzles. Despite dated mechanics and minimal remastering, its nostalgic charm and timeless visuals make it worth revisiting for fans and curious newcomers alike.
Paul writes: There is a lot of game to go at in Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny, as well as a host of bosses to beat, each one providing a stellar challenge.
Console Creatures writes, "Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny is an improvement over Warlords and easily highlights the series."
