Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles is an experience that never overstays its welcome. While the map may be simplistic and outdated, the combat, visuals, voice acting, and story more than make up for anything the game lacks. New and old fans will find something to enjoy here, while the versus mode will keep players engaged long after the credits roll.
Overall, The Hinokami Chronicles is an enjoyable arena fighter with a really intriguing story. There are moments where the game feels a bit too slow or uninteresting during the exploration moments, but the combat makes up for it. Fans of Demon Slayer will love plaything through The Hinokami Chronicles, and even newcomers to the series will enjoy this well-done fighting game.

I played many of CC2 games one of my favourite CC2 games is jojo all stars battle and naruto ultimate ninja storm 4 i think Demon slayer kimetsu no yaiba is a true successor to naruto ultimate ninja storm 4 the combat is and mechcanics are vastly improved from just mashing circle and pressing the L left stick up or down to change the combo you can mix up specials you have push block which is a fantastic new mechanics the parry mechancis is better than in storm 4 the animations are fantastly well done the game is cinematic as ever CC2 again delivered a fantastic story mode the cutscenes where just like in the anime the boss fights where great the only thing we are missing is a big roster and more arenas which could be fixed by releasing more characters and arenas and 60 frames per second mode for PS5 is what really need its a fighting game so 60fps is a must for better input latency in fact the game needs improvement in input latency the PS4 version of this game is a mess.I enjoyed the mini games with the gourd and tea they where hard and challenging i just platinumed the game on PS5 and i think its one of the best arena fighting games i have played

I can’t believe there’s someone out there not liking this game. We are getting 6 new free characters as the time goes so you can’t get bored. The story mode is so beautiful and in my opinion the most competitive arena fighter. Its a 10/10 for me 100% but not for everyone.

Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles is a loving recreation of the first leg of Tanjiro and Nezuko's journey. It might not push the envelope in any meaningful way, but I can guarantee that this will satiate Demon Slayer fans and maybe even provide some entertainment for newcomers. It delivers on exactly what's promised, and I think that is what most people will want out of The Hinokami Chronicles.
Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles is a fan service game, and it doesn't hide it. If you are a fan of the first hour then you will have no problem to dive into this adventure which mixes combat and narrative phases, all in the enchanting universe of the anime. For the others, the experience will lose a lot of flavor. The story mode is not always well-paced and the Versus mode is clearly not enough on its own. In the end, the game is mainly for fans of Koyoharu Gotōge's work.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles is a fighter that balances depth and accessibility well, but it’s hamstrung by an inconsistent story mode and a slim roster.
In short, this game feels very much like a stepping stone on the way to a better Demon Slayer game in the future — one with a wider variety of playable characters, more new combat features, and a longer storyline that can afford to cut out filler moments that pad the experience.
Demon Slayer: The Hikonami Chronicles is a bit lacking where it had everything to succeed: with a faithful representation of the characters of the anime, it does not go further, with an empty environment, dated textures and a technique that smacks of old, even on next-gen consoles, not to mention a cruel and glaring lack of variety in the action. But he has for him a model more than faithful to the anime and a combat system as simple as it is effective, which will appeal to the greatest number, despite a weak roster and great confusion in the action when several people are fighting at the same time. A game of average quality after all, for fans and for those who want to easily take their eyes off between combos.
Great game, fun combat and good story. Only downside is the limited characters but that is getting fixed with post-content dlc.

J'aime beaucoup le jeu car j'aime beaucoup le manga. Mais si je devais être objectif là note serait probablement plus 6. Pas assez de personnages, prix excessif et sorties des DLC trop espacées. Aucun suivi du jeu online par le studio.
Pour toutes ces raisons j'aurai mis 5,5/10 mais parce que le gameplay, le style graphique, les cinematiques et les doublages sont excelents je lui met 7/10.

A fine game if you are fan of the series or just want to jump in and experience what this anime is all about. If you enjoy the Naruto Storm games, this combat system will feel very familiar. If you are expecting something more then just reliving the story of Demon Slayer again, you will have to look elsewhere.

Way too much recaping and ending with what felt like filler/setup episodes of the new season.
Either
1. Make a great side story with movies or
2. plan out out so it fits a movie like the mugen train movie did.

One of the worst games I've ever played, it's too generic and very boring, not recommended unless you have nothing to do
