Capcom's Onimusha series has long been known for its action-packed gameplay and challenging puzzle boxes. However, in the latest installment, Onimusha: Way Of The Sword, players can expect a fresh take on puzzle-solving. Gone are the traditional puzzle boxes, replaced by larger, more complex environmental puzzles that require careful observation and critical thinking.

In a recent hands-on preview, it became clear that the development team has opted for a more immersive approach to puzzle-solving. By incorporating puzzles into the actual game environment, players must now pay closer attention to their surroundings to progress through the game. One such example is a kabuki theater-like room, where players must use light and shadow to unlock a path forward.
