A PlayView for Capcom's Onimusha: Way of the Sword! Plus, should you keep your Game Pass subscription for the next month? Are key resellers like G2A and CDKeys OK to use?

Hi, and welcome to Playview, which is our take on the video game video preview.
I always look for new ways to sort of transform existing content, and this is how we're doing it for our video previews.
But eventually, it moves into a Let's Play segment where we show off all the stuff that we talked about in the early part of the Playview.
Now, this week's Playview, normally we do these for smaller, kind of off-the-radar games that either I want to turn you guys on to or games that I kind of thought were cool that were not going to make the cut for Game Face.
However, with Summer Game Fest slash not E3 2026 here, and so much stuff to cover in the next episode of Game Face, I have decided to include a big game in this week's episode of The Shane Satterfield Show, and that is Onimusha, Way of the Sword.
If you're a younger player, you may not even remember the Onimusha franchise, because it literally died in 2006.
Now, basically what it is is a hack-and-slash game, but when it first launched, they were using the Resident Evil engine to build the game.
And you would be trying to play a hack and slash game with a camera perched in the weirdest angle.
And then finally in 2006, the last game before this one, finally did go full 3D and you had full control over the camera.
So we are staring at a 20-year gap for the Onimusha franchise, and Onimusha Way of the Sword doesn't necessarily pick up where the other games left off.
It's a dark fantasy action adventure, not an action RPG, and that's very important.
set at the beginning of the Edo period in Kyoto, Japan, which has been eerily transformed by clouds of malice.
You play as legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, who is modeled after iconic Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune.
He arrives in Edo-era Kyoto, seeking to cement his legacy as the realm's greatest warrior, but the city is overrun by monstrous demons known as the Genma.
He's ultimately struck down, but he's revived with a mystical object called the Oni Gauntlet.
He becomes half-man and half-demon as he tries to wipe the demons from Kyoto.
Now, even though it may look like it, this game is not a Souls-like, though you are collecting souls just like the classic Onimusha games.
