After two decades, Capcom has returned with a new major installment in the Onimusha series. Onimusha: Way of the Sword aims to rekindle the interest of longtime fans while introducing the series to a new generation of players.

Review Platform: PS5 Pro
Story: 15-20h
Story + Side Contents : 20-25h

𝑴𝒚 𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘 𝒂𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓 +24 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆:

🟢 Musashi is a fantastic protagonist and one of the game’s greatest strengths
🟢 Side characters play their roles to their absolute best; especially Ganryu and Dokyo
🟢 A Decent Story with Remarkable Sequences
🟢 Flawless and Expansive Combat Mechanics, Featuring Parry, Reflex, Deflect, and More
🟢 Boss fights are easily the best part of the game; parrying their attacks is one of the most satisfying experiences in the game
🟢 A Decent Variety of Oni Armaments for Different Situations
🟢 High Quality Original Soundtrack
🟢 Well-Placed Horror Sequences
🟢 The “Mystery” missions offer an interesting take on side quests
🟢 The Skill Tree is packed with new moves that make combat even more engaging
🟢 No Bugs or Frame Drops
🟢 Super Fast Loading

🟡 Most of the rewards for exploration end up being practically useless
🟡 A Strange Bug Disabling Voice Lines for NPCs Who Trigger Chance Encounters (Likely to Be Patched Soon)

🔴 Some of the main quests feel too similar to side quests, with tasks like closing rifts and destroying Malice Plants being repeated far too often
🔴 Byakue and Dohatsu-ten Bosses Appear Too Often
🔴 Most of the open world Side Quests (Eastern Kyoto) are boring and repetitive
🔴 Diversity of enemies is below expectations

Onimusha: Way of the Sword’s biggest shortcoming is arguably its attempt to blend a linear structure with a semi-open-world design. Had Capcom designed it as a completely linear experience, we might have witnessed one of the best games of this generation. Nonetheless, Capcom’s latest release is well worth your time and money, thanks to its decent story, excellent combat, and engaging boss fights.

Final Score: 8/10

That time at the beginning of the war against Iran when an unarmed Iranian ship was invited to take part in an Indian naval exercise alongside the United States.
Its sailors were welcomed on land and paraded before the president as a gesture of cooperation.
Then, at the last moment, the United States abruptly withdrew from the exercise,only to turn around and torpedo the very ship it had just stood beside.

What followed was even more grotesque.
After attacking an unarmed vessel, the US refused to rescue the sailors it had thrown into the sea, abandoning them to drown.
The grim work of recovering bodies was left to the Sri Lankan Navy.

This wasn’t warfare,it was treachery of the most disgraceful kind: an ambush carried out under the pretense of diplomacy, followed by a cold refusal to show even the most basic human decency to the dying.
It would represent a collapse of every norm that supposedly governs civilized conduct at sea.

And yet, instead of outrage, much of the American media response has been indifference or rationalization.
The bombing of a girls’ school is brushed aside; talk of carpet-bombing Tehran is floated as if it were just another policy option.
When atrocities are normalized and cruelty is laundered into “strategy,” the line between reporting and complicity begins to disappear.

Pretend journalist tried to set a trap for Tucker Carlson.

Besides having a right to exist as a state because of crimes committed in Europe and Germany doesn’t mean you can steal someone else’s land.

Zionists had their eye on Palestine long before the Holocaust btw.

UK Foreign Office has raised the detention of a British national in the occupied West Bank with Israeli authorities

Finn Joughin, 22, was arrested on Saturday after he was forcibly detained by Israeli settlers who had advanced on the Palestinian village https://t.co/dIv9RJKp8I

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

So when you read about eight members of an NBC News Team being beaten by Israeli settlers today in the West Bank, it's important to note two things:

1. The settler wouldn't do this to Americans had they not received a green light from the Israeli gov.
2. Israel's gov would not have given such a green light unless it felt confident that the US gov - and Amb. Huckabee - wouldn't lift a finger to defend the Americans.

I'm watching NATO push Russia toward a response that terrifies me.
Let me walk through what's actually happening.

The Kursk incursion wasn't a Ukrainian operation. It was NATO. Real-time satellite data. AI intelligence collecting digital and mobile network information showing exactly where Russian troops were positioned. Special NATO operatives and Ukrainian forces got guided deep into Russian territory by technology and planning they don't have on their own.

That's a red line people who lived through the 60s and 70s would never have considered crossing. Direct NATO operations inside Russia. Not weapons. Not training. Active intelligence coordination for a ground invasion.

Then Ukrainian forces following that incursion killed civilians. Another line crossed.

Then drones deployed from makeshift trucks attacked Russian nuclear bomber bases. Targeting the strategic deterrence force. The weapons designed to prevent exactly this kind of escalation.

Every step calculated. Every line deliberately crossed.

Here's what makes this dangerous: the West knows Russia doesn't want nuclear war. Russia never planned for global conflict. They responded to Ukraine's NATO membership trajectory because their security demanded it. Not because they wanted World War III.

But NATO is facing irrelevance. The alliance needs a purpose. It needs an enemy. It needs escalation to justify its existence and its budgets.

So watch the contradiction in Western media: Russia is too weak to advance on the battlefield. Russia is also an existential threat that could invade Europe any day.

Both statements can't be true. But both serve the same goal.

They want to make Russia look weak enough that pushing them further seems safe. While simultaneously making Russia look threatening enough that massive military spending stays justified.

The strategy is clear: push Russia into retaliating. Cross enough red lines that Moscow has to respond with something NATO can call escalation. Then use that response to flip Western economies onto war footing.

Because those economies are beyond saving through normal means. The debt is too high. The infrastructure is too broken. The political systems are too captured.

A war with a big payout at the end solves everything. Wipes debt. Rebuilds industry. Unites divided populations. Access to Russian resources makes it all worth it.

That's the gamble. Push a nuclear power until they snap. Then use their response to justify what you wanted to do anyway.

That bet scares me more than anything I've seen in 25 years.

The establishment Democrats' coordinated attacks on Hasan Piker are happeneing for three reasons:

1. He has successfully promoted and campaigned for candidates who are critical of Isreal and acknowledge the genocide
2. They want to marginalize a popular left voice on the left (3.1 million Twitch followers) who consistently calls Israel out for their genocide and ethnic cleansing
3. They want to ensure that Piker is not an influential voice in the 2028 election.

It will backfire.

🇷🇺⚡90% of Ukraine's retail chain warehouses have been destroyed in Russian strikes – Ukrainian ministry

A purchase cap has been announced in Kiev on oil, salt, sugar, eggs, flour, water, tissues, canned foods.

Understand Putin didn't do this till Zelensky attacked civilian infrastructures in Russia. President Putin kept his words to keep the frontline contained but Kiev went after our civilian vessels, attacked our civilian warehouses.

The Ukrainians are truly the masters of their own demise. Just like the "unprovoked invasion" after years of kiIIing innocents in Donetsk and Odessa. They are not victims.

What an extraordinary moment at Lord’s.

Cricket gave Imran Khan to the world, and today the cricketing world refuses to forget him.

Former England captain @Athersmike speaks up for Pakistan’s greatest cricketing icon on the world stage, while much of Pakistan’s own media remains afraid to even mention his name.

A powerful moment. A shameful contrast.

Zelensky’s diplomacy: In December 2019, Zelensky was seen laughing as Putin spoke about implementing the Minsk Agreement to end the conflict in Donbas. Years later, Angela Merkel admitted that the agreement was intended to give Ukraine time to strengthen and build up its armed forces.

[Solo Monk @JJKALE2]

The IDF has admitted that Lt Roy Oryon of the Golani Brigade fired on a convoy of ambulances killing 15 medics & rescue workers, they then bulldozed the bodies & the crushed vehicles into the sand.

On Sunday he will be given @nswpolice protection to run the Sydney Marathon.

[Vijay Prashad @vijayprashad]

The designation of Palestine Action as a global terrorist group is ludicrous. We know it and then know it. Palestine Action is a civic group that wants to end a genocide.
You know who is a terrorist group? The Israeli military and its US supporters.
