Gaming-wise, I did treat myself to a little bit of a paternity leave game, if that is such a thing.
So, growing up, and it is horror-adjacent.
It's an action samurai-type game.
But it is horror-adjacent.
No, it's a zombie ninja as well.
I don't know.
zombie samurai game set in I think feudal Japan but I grew up with the first one absolutely loved the original Onimusha for whatever reason I never played the sequels I think there was Onimusha 2 and 3 I don't think there was a fourth one I could be wrong but it is one of the Capcom standout series from the PS2 era that that didn't continue I'm trying to think now if Onimusha 1 was PS2 or PS1 think ps2 not sure yeah i'm gonna say ps2 um But kind of similar to Dino Crisis, it had a couple of entries, but then it went quiet.
I guess the sequels just weren't as successful as the original.
But I was very pleased when I heard a little while ago that we are getting a new Onimusha, and it has released as of this week.
At the same time, there's another interesting-looking game called Rise of the Dawnwalker, or Blood of the Dawnwalker, made by some of the developers of The Witcher 3.
And I love The Witcher 3.
But I kind of figured, look, I rarely buy new games anymore because they're just so expensive.
And who has the time to sink into a new game? I mean, I sink enough money into Warhammer, but I spend a lot of time on Warhammer.
So, you know, you're getting the time benefit from the investment.
Whereas with video games, I either don't have the concentration or just the time or whatnot.
But I've had a couple of sessions of it, and it's really good.
I actually think I do need to increase the difficulty setting, which is unheard of for me.
But so far, I've sort of rinsed through two bosses at this stage, and it's not really had much of a challenge.
I don't play games for challenge.
I play games for the story.
But I do think I should probably, you know, actually try for a change and increase the challenge on that.
But so far, so good.
