@PuppetMaster The fact that it’s still that close is remarkable.

This may allay your fears, somewhat.

I'm really interested in this. I never played the older Onimusha games, and this one looks to have the kind of combat that I enjoy the most. I also appreciate the campy aspect to the characterisation, the goofy expressions, etc. It's a fun change from the overly serious nature of so many action games.

A better internet connection would tempt me to pick one up. But living in Oz, I’m on koala speed.

@RoomWithaMoose Another thoughtful comment from the Moose. Well said.

@Balaam_ @Oram77 I agree. I actually welcome character models that are less generically attractive. Let’s have some more interesting faces to look at. Give them imperfections, y’know, like actual people have.

Haven’t seen anyone talking about the fact that this appears to be a roguelite of sorts. How do you all feel about that? Personally, as someone who isn’t keen on the genre, I’m getting pretty tired of its saturation at this point. Seems everything is either a roguelite, a metroidvania, or some kind of battle royale/ multiplayer shooter.

It’s Winds of Winter. GRRM is going to announce a 2026 release window. And then miss it.

Haven’t seen Sands of Time Remake mentioned yet. Seems to fit with the “regal” clue (though not sure about the relevance of the other words). The skeletons also resemble those in PoP: Forgotten Sands.
