I’ve never really enjoyed Shonen battle series, save for the ones I grew up with, like Naruto and Bleach. I appreciate that Demon Slayer has become a similar entry-point for countless fledgling anime fans across the world, but as someone with no real passion for the series, seeing some of my favourite animation and game studios working in the mines pumping out content for it has me feeling jaded. I’m a massive fan of the CyberConnect2 developed Naruto Ninja Storm series, but it’s an interesting feeling to play a game without also having a personal attachment to the source material. I don’t feel like Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is a bad experience at all, but I also don’t know if it’s an entirely necessary or groundbreaking one.","2025-08-11T15:12:50.138174-04:00",{"id":244,"logo":257,"name":258,"slug":259,"tags":260,"bluesky":261,"twitter":258,"youtube":259,"facebook":258,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":262,"website_url":263,"score_format":46,"average_score":264,"default_timezone":48,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":49,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":265,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":26,"reviews_editor_email":266,"editor_in_chief_email":267,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FTheSixthAxis-Logo.jpg","TheSixthAxis","thesixthaxis","[  \n  'independent',\n  'online_media',\n  'ingestion_pending'\n  ]","thesixthaxis.bsky.social","All the latest videos gaming news, reviews, guides, and opinion.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.thesixthaxis.com\u002F",73,"aran@thesixthaxis.com","dom@thesixthaxis.com","teflon@thesixthaxis.com",{"id":269,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":225,"author":270,"original_score":277,"normalized_score":33,"review_url":278,"review_date":279,"summary":280,"created_at":281,"updated_at":281,"author_id":271,"last_edited_at":281,"outlet":282},330698,{"id":271,"bio":26,"name":272,"avg_score":273,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":274,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":275,"claim_token":26,"article_count":276,"claimed_by_user_id":26},3514,"Stephan Adamus",75.96629213483146,"2025-01-15T12:11:25.019442-05:00","2026-06-18T15:57:20.359659-04:00",89,"75","https:\u002F\u002Fcogconnected.com\u002Freview\u002Fdemon-slayer-hinokami-chronicles-2-review\u002F","2025-07-31","While Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles 2 doesn’t change much about the original, it fixes the massive problem of the small roster.

The game’s story mode adds light adventure and RPG elements to give the illusion that there’s more to the game than just combat and cutscenes.
