Preview Capcom's Onimusha: Way of the Sword Seems Steeled for Success
We go hands-on with fantasy action
When we previously previewed Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the long-awaited successor to Capcom’s action fantasy franchise, we went out of our way to say it isn’t Dark Souls. It may seem strange to talk about what a game isn’t, but we know how all-encompassing – and, honestly, overbearing –...

A sensational shooter
Pragmata is, as far as we’re concerned, one of the more promising upcoming PS5 games.
