Onimusha was one of those weird games that was enjoyable yet not a game that spent a large amount of time in my PlayStation growing up. I beat the first game in the series before, for whatever reason, never playing its sequel, Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny, or I might have spent an hour on it at a friend’s house.

Honestly, it would be hard for…

I would say that Tormented Souls II protagonist Caroline Walker had horrible luck if she didn’t so conveniently bring it on herself. In the opening moments, we see her sporting a black eyepatch that, the last time we helped her survive the night, started with her getting a picture that proper her going to a terrifying place to investigate, and five minutes of set up lead to her getting chocked outr and waking up sans an eye. It’s good to know that in the time between then and now, her decision-making has not in any way, shape, or form improved,…
