PlayerAuctions@PlayerAuctions@GermanStrands Preordered a physical copy of Onimusha 5 for the PS5, then will get Dawnwalker digitally for the Series X later. Dawnwalker was my sole choice before, but I felt I needed to play Onimusha 5 because I really enjoyed 1-3.
DR Dre@DrDre1989_@Fightincowboy @OnimushaGame The only review I ever need to watch. I was already sold after the demo. Preordering today.
