6th gen Capcom's writing team at their most unhinged; I don't think a game with time-travelling Jean Reno teaming up with stoic feudal Japanese samurai could be done nowadays, and that says so much about how far video games have fallen since this era.

Onimusha 3 trims the fat of 2's gifting system and replaces it with a unique way of planting its protagonists' shared campaign across different time periods while retaining the gameplay that made the original title such a beloved classic. It drags on just a bit near the end, but damn if it isn't a great time all the same. A top shelf title!
