Is it still worth playing?

Capcom's 2002 action adventure for the PlayStation 2, the second Onimusha. Jubei Yagyu, the last of his clan, battles an army of demons called Genma and learns of his oni heritage. It mixes sword fighting with light puzzle solving, seen through fixed camera angles. You lock onto enemies and strafe, starting with a samurai sword and later finding a spear, a hammer, a bow and a matchlock rifle. Defeated enemies release souls that you absorb with your gauntlet to restore health and fill the magic meter, and you spend currency at shrines to upgrade equipment. To discourage button mashing, you are rewarded for Issen hits, attacks made the moment an enemy is about to lunge. Attacking at the exact moment an enemy lunges still makes every duel a matter of timing.
