Okami HD

I had to quit this one. I remember playing this some on PS2 and it was pretty fun. I dont remember the super long intro with the most annoying "voices" ever. They dont even read the lines, its similar to the adult voices in Peanuts but somehow more annoying. So you read the text while this gibberish is playing in the background. I had to mute this for long periods of time before finally giving up.

Okami has a very unique fighting and puzzle solving system which gave me very lasting memories since the Wii era. It's a fun take on Japanese mythology and having absolutely amazing music. The characters are fun and interesting, and the world layout is simply massive.

When this game came out, I was too young to be able to play this game so unfortunately I never got to play it until I got older. However, it was well worth the wait. I never really had heard of Okami until the announcement of the sequel during the game awards. With everyone's reactions I took it as a sign to give the game a try and see what the hype behind it was all about.

It very much lived up to it's expectations, the mechanics are so unique and creative with great story telling and enjoyable world. It's honestly a game that I think most people should play. It's something truly special that I personally don't think has been replicated at all.

I recently finished 100%'ing it and now I can confidently say that I will be buying the sequel day one because this game is a literal treasure.

One of the funnest games that I played in 2024. I know it was released a long time ago but it was awesome. It reminds me a big of LOZ:TP with how Ammy handles and the combat's fun and punchy. The art is also amazing along with the story, quite fun and I highly recommend

Beautiful game. The art makes it just perfect, they were going to originally do realistic graphics which would have made it probably forgettable, but it's unique art and Zelda like gameplay, makes far and above one of the most unique and best games of it's kind,

I first played them game for hours on the Wii. I will say the brush works better with the motion controls but it is still a fun game on the PC

Very good game. It's visually appealing, game-play is solid, the characters and story are amazing. A hearty 25 hour affair, longer if you're looking for the 100% mark, especially blind. If you have the time, the game is very much worth your dollar.

I am six hours in and already I curse myself for not having played this years ago when this was out on the Wii. This game bursts with the same sort of charm you find in all Kamiya games; outstanding comedy, engaging and thrilling combat (thankfully nowhere near as hard as Bayonetta or DMC), and with some of the best art design I've seen in a game ever. Do yourself a favor, play this.

Masterpiece. Every aspect of this game has love and care put into from the artstyle, to every npc, the animations, the atmpshere. The music is phenomenonal, the entire ost has basically stayed rent free in my head since the first time I played the Wii version of the game in 2008. The story is substantial and long. I can see people thinking the game can start dragging in the final act and could have ended earlier but I think the prolonged journey pays off in the end. It's bittersweet when the adventure does end and you have to unimmerse yourself from the ancient Japan woodcut water-color setting and go back to reality but the revived Clover studios and Kamiya did bring us old fans good news 19 years later. Ammy is best girl. The Sun Always Rises. Can't wait for the sequel.

I've heard a lot of great things about this game and it had me very curious ever since I saw Amaterasu in MvC3. After the sequel got announced I figured it was time to give it a shot. I never expected this game to be a true gem in gaming and become my favorite game ever. This is truly a masterpiece from the art style, amazing story, and fun combat. It can make you laugh in its funny, light, wholesome moments and also shock you with its dark tones and twists. If you like action adventure games much like Legend of Zelda then this is a must try. 10/10

How the hell i've missed this masterpiece. dog simulator game with some metroidvania elements. combat is very simple but unique. the soundtrack are gorgeous. story isnt confusing like nowaday games. exploration are rewarding. the art style is amazing, in fact all the things in this game are amazing. the third game that made me cried. lets hope that Okamiden get the remaster ver on steam

An amazing, cute, and beautiful adventure and exploration game with a fantastic art style and soundtrack based on Japanese mythology and religion, particularly Shintō. The game feels and looks like a painting made from brushwork, specifically the Sumi-ê art style, and this Oriental and mythological aesthetic permeates throughout the game's worldbuilding and plot. It brings to the forefront a lot of Japanese myths and religious knowledge through its beautiful graphics and amazing journey in the flesh of the lovable and cute Ammy (or Ōkami Amaterasu), a female wolf who serves as the avatar of the Goddess of the Sun, Amaterasu. She gathers strength to fight the darkness that begins to consume the mortal world of Japan/Nippon, along with her traveling companion Issun, who acts as comic relief and a major friend to Ammy. It is a really fun adventure story that manages to capture the feeling of a long journey, filled with many great and memorable moments—ranging from heartwarming, cute, and comedic to tense and emotional.

Its gameplay is really creative, introducing the concept of the Celestial Brushes, where you can interact with enemies and the environment by drawing, inspired by Shodō, the Japanese artistic calligraphy. Each of the 13 brushes is gathered as you progress through the game, each with its own unique skills and uses. Ōkami also features really interesting dungeon designs (similar to those in The Legend of Zelda), and its story unfolds in large chapters, each lasting around 20+ hours. The game showcases a vast bestiary drawn from Japanese mythology, with different bosses and enemies in each region of every chapter. Additionally, the world is filled with implicit NPC side quests and secrets scattered throughout the journey, each bringing a different approach, with some even incorporating minigames.
Ōkami is definitely a classic from the PS2 era and one of the best games on the console, which is no small feat. This truly highlights what a masterpiece it is, and being able to replay it now in HD—without any major issues—is a nostalgic and joyful blessing.

Mind numbing busywork meets rice painting graphics. Okami is a blatant Zelda clone with one of the all time greatest art styles, but with some important caveats. Whilst the story is certainly great, the music is unforgettable (it's been randomly on spin on my mind ever since the Wii release) and the characters are all likeable, the game's inflated duration will hamper your overall enjoyment of it. This is so because, even though the busywork (digging treasure, making things bloom, completing the same sidequest in different parts of the world, etc.) is not obnoxious at all, the downtime generated upon completing it very much is. Each time you pick a treasure up, for some godforsaken reason, you are treated to two prompts that you must skip: one telling you what you just collected, and another, some lore or the effects of using the thing. Since there are treasures everywhere you look, the time you spend skipping these cursed descriptions could very well be in the hours. And since upgrades are gated behind money, you need these to sell them. Collectible items have no other purpose, not even healing wares, since everything heals you. Worse, the battles are a chore. They are over before they even begin due to your damage output and enemies having ultra long round start poses with full vulnerability. After you ice these imps in a few cuts, you are then forced to see them die very slowly, so that perhaps you might choose to cut them or spin them around to have them spit a demon fang (another mostly worthless item), before seeing them spin one more time... and then finally die as they turn into a bed of flowers. THEN you are treated into a pointless end results screen that nobody gives a crap about and that you have to escape from by pressing a button, or else it delays even more. THEN the barrier has to dispel for you to move away. My recommendation: get the accessory to prevent enemies from targetting you on the overworld as soon as you see it on a vendor (though you'll lose a lot of money for upgrades).

There are a few more things that contribute to your annoyance, staining what would otherwise be a fine work of art. Feeding animals and healing the greenery around Nippon has you sitting there waiting for "praises", level up currency, to slowly float towards Ammy before movement is possible. There's also tons of loading screens, with nothing to look at but a blank rice scroll. I don't doubt that, had all these woes been addressed for this re-release, allowing you to seamlessly acquire praise and unearth treasure, as well as fight monsters with less downtime, all this busywork would've been actually fun to do.

There's one final piece of advice that I have for anyone picking this up. This looks absolutely atrocious at 30 FPS, so you must (no, really, you must) get Lossless Scaling and use the frame generation utility. At x2, the game looks mighty fine with little to no artifacting depending on the area. There will be some input delay, but it's not important in a game like this. The jump to twice the FPS is well worth the cost. You might also want jackfuste's fix pack for ghosting effects and ultrawidescreen as seen on PCGamingWiki, to improve image quality. I know this sounds like a totally negative review, but the treasure buried underneath all this dirt is worth the hassle.

Amazing masterpiece of a game, I have bought it on every system it has ever been released on. Wish they would re-release Okamiden now that they have confirmed a sequel. This game is a must play for anyone that enjoys story driven entertainment.

Okami, originally released in 2006, holds up well thanks to its unique ink-painting art style. This HD release enhances its visual appeal, making it a treat to look at.

I enjoyed the game for the most part, though I'll be honest and say I've dropped it a few times over the past few months when it started to feel like a slog. Still, I kept coming back. I haven't beaten the game, and at this point, I think I'm done with it. Oni Island, with its focus on platforming, time trial- and that big block fucker- they all got under my skin and it felt like a chore trying to complete. Never been a big fan of platformers, time trials and memory games and those elements is ultimately what made me stop wanting to continue. I am confident I've grasped what Okami has to offer.

It's a good game with a whole lot of soul. Check it out for yourself.

As beautiful and fun as when it first came out. It’s aged very well.

I played this on the Wii as a kid. Okami is a masterpiece; it's a beautiful work of art with fantastic storytelling, game mechanics, and a hell of a fun combat system. I'll be honest...no version will beat the Wii one due to the motion controls, but this version is very nice!

I dislike how it kills your mouse, though. What if I want to use my pc when the game is paused?

This is absolutely my favorite game ever paws down! The art detail, and story are out of this world, and this game has held up since it was out.

Legend of Zelda but you play as the Sun God Amaterasu. It's more combat focused than Zelda is and doesn't have as many puzzles or dungeons as the Zelda games do. If I could change one thing about this game it's that it wouldn't immedtiatly "solve" a lot of the puzzles for me by. Their were times where I wouldn't even get to look at the puzzle before a camera pan or our partner would talk and ruin the puzzle for me. Other than that I loved the game, and you feel so powerful by the end of it. It really makes you feel like a god, even when your not doing new game +.

Highly recemmond Ammy is the best wolf sun god main character.

Good game but not a masterpiece as a lot of players claim to be.
This game has tons of dialogues like really tons of useless and need less dialogues, "FROM START TO THE VERY END".
Issun is such an annoying character, he is disrespectful, talks really too much, and also a pervert.
I think he was shoved in there so there is a male character in the adventure. The MC which is Amaterasu the a female wolf don't talk which is weird cause other deity animals talk.
Camera can be janky at times and hard to control., luckily the game is too easy.
I still had fun with the game but it feels like it was padded. A lot of time after mid game I just feel bored and just powered through it to the end.

A gorgeous soundtrack, surprisingly in-depth combat that smoothly combines character action fundamentals with a spell drawing system, beautifully stylized visuals and a simple but effective story based on charming, on-the-nose riffs of Japanese mythology combine to make one of the greats.

Okami is a bit of an undervalued game; a cult classic of sorts, but in my opinion one of the PS2's best - and this port is largely an excellent way to experience it.

A note for achievement hunters:
Unfortunately, there is an achievement tied to getting all fish, which is a rather excruciating and pointlessly time-wasting process based heavily on luck. I wish you all the best if you elect to go for this, and hope Kamiya does not, in fact, include this in the next game in its current form. Cheers.

this game definitely isn't for everyone (hell i never would've touched it if it wasn't a childhood favorite), but you may want to give this one a shot if you like old ps2/gamecube games that are kinda clunky but still a ton of fun. story is good, characters are engaging, and damn this game's style is something else; the setting, soundtrack, art style, and everything else about this game all mesh together beautifully to create an experience that i hadn't seen before at 8 years old and haven't seen since at 23.

phenomenal game overall imo, kinda peters out towards the end for me but the vast majority is enjoyable. definitely recommend it if you think you might like it.

A true masterpiece, one of the games that should be played at least once.

Already completed it and finished it multiple times on console, had to have it on PC too.

Great as an adventure game but stay away if you're looking for good action/combat.

Took me long enough to play this one but yeah, certified old classic with an unique mechanic that still hasn't been re-used to this day. Had a blast all the way through with little to no bad things to say about the experience. Now I'm really pumped for that eventual sequel that's coming some day.

Okami is one of the most beautiful games I've ever played. The HD remaster is stunningly gorgeous.

I originally played Okami on the Wii many moons ago, but I got frustrated and stymied with my struggles with the motion controls, as I did with every game that required motion controls. Sure, I've only played for 4 hours so far of this version, but I know a) I am not significantly better at video games than I used to be if only because I'm aging and my hands don't work as well as they used to, and b) I am actually finding controlling the Celestial Brush mechanic with my mouse much, much easier than using motion controls on the Wii (or the Switch, for that matter). The game runs extremely well so far on my rather middle-of-the-road gaming laptop, and I can't stress enough how well it's working with keyboard and mouse rather than controller, especially for the brush. Occasionally I fight with the camera, and sometimes the camera wins, but are you really playing an action-adventure game if the camera isn't one of your many enemies?

The game has its juvenile moments, but in my "old age", I'm now just sort of shaking my head and laughing at them more than I was in my 20s when I took everything much, much too seriously. I'm finding it much more charming now. Without going into spoilers, Okami has the sort of narrative that just keeps getting bigger and bigger, which it balances out with charm and silliness, some surprising cleavage, a lot of monkey butts, and its bright, colourful beauty. One of, if not my biggest, complaints about Okaimi is that it definitely falls into that writing trap of "this is a for a wide audience" so the dialogue (unvoiced; all text-on-screen) is not particularly sophisticated.

Okami is the kind of game I will point at very insistently when I say that art style is just as important as the high-fidelity true-to-life graphics--and if I may be so bold, I sometimes think that's more important if we're going to look at video games as sitting at the crossroads of "art" and "toy". I cannot stress enough how gorgeous this game is with its real-life-art-inspired art direction, and its heavy focus on nature. If you can relax and let go of a need to count pixel-people's pores, this game is stunning.

But above all else, since I picked this game up for the first time in 2008, Okami remains one of the best Zelda games I've ever played (and I've played all of the console releases of Zelda since my family got a NES in 1988). I guess if I was forced to concede to pedantry, I'd say that it's actually one of the best Zeldalikes I've ever played--but that's genuinely not what I mean. Okami captures the spirit of a Zelda game with breathtaking joy, but with enough of its own charisma and skill that it doesn't matter if it's copying Nintendo's homework or not. It looked at the Zelda framework and said "hold my paintbrush". The ramping up of combat difficulty, the secrets and treasures, the character progression through upgrades to skills and weapons, the colourful cast of characters, the (annoying?) helper-companion character who travels with you, the dungeons and their bigger-than-life bosses, the linear story with digressions and, yeah, backtracking... the formula is there, and beautifully done at that. As much as I love Breath of the Wild, Okami is far more Zelda than BOTW is.

So, if you are good with a charmingly silly Zeldalike with often juvenile dialogue-writing that does the Zelda spirit/formula better than modern--day Zelda, with a gorgeous art style, give this a shot.

TL;DR: A beloved classic from the PS2 era, but not a timeless one. Worth picking up if you're new to action games or curious about its historical significance.
I never thought I'd write a negative review for this game. I didn't have PS2 but played the HD version on PS3 and loved it, though, for some reason, never finished it. Remembering all the things I enjoyed back then (the beautiful art style, the unique celestial brush mechanic, the world to explore, cute animals) I was excited to finally beat it on PC. But somehow, the magic was gone.
Combat was the first issue. It all felt too easy, like revisiting a low-level area in a JRPG. And I'm not even that good at action games. Other Hideki Kamiya titles challenged me far more. Here, I was avoiding fights just to move on.
Exploration, fun at first, also started to drag. The game follows a metroidvania-like structure, but side content does it worse than the main story. You constantly run into chests that aren't exactly hidden but won't be accessible for another 10 hours or so. Some areas even have multiple chests locked behind different abilities, meaning you either make several trips back or ignore them until the end of the game. And all this for what often turns out to be generic loot.
There are barely any puzzles, and when they do appear, the solutions are obvious.
Dialogues are another issue. The text on the screen appears slowly, as it usually happens in these games. But usually, there's an option to reveal the full line instantly, but here, the "continue" button only works after the text has already appeared. There's a speed-up button, but holding it too long skips to the next line also. So, you have to keep gently tapping it. After 15 hours of this, I gave up and just start skipping the dialogs. The characters rarely have something interesting to say anyway.
I wasn't bored by hour-long cutscenes in Metal Gear Solid, walls of text in Disco Elysium, slow-paced point-and-click adventures, or even low-budget shooters with huge empty spaces and repetitive combat, but for some reason, Okami wore me out. The first game in a long time which I dropped because I got bored.
Either it hasn't aged well, or I've changed.

it's really good but unfortunately it's not quite there for me, da music is really great and da visuals are absolutely gorgeous

da intro is too slow, it drags on for much longer than it needs to

my main issue comes with da game feeling like it's a bit longer than it should be and i started feelin tired after a while and just not havin as much fun, da combat is ok and gets a bit more interesting once you utilize da celestial brushes more, but i kinda wish there was a bit more going on sometimes

da writing is also a bit weird, da story beats and scenarios are good but i feel like da dialogue in dis game feels unnatural sometimes and wish it had a better flow(?), also da game sometimes spells out or shows you wat you need to do for some puzzle before givin you a chance to figure stuff out, but only sometimes idk why

it's a good game and i recommend you give it a shot, it's got a good finale too, but unfortunately i had my gripes with it which made me enjoy it less, really lookin forward to see how da sequel comes out tho!!!!!!

also ammy is such a good wolf :3

Ōkami HD is a game that feels like a living painting, a love letter to Japanese folklore wrapped in a stunningly unique art style. I first experienced it on Xbox One when it came out but never finished it. Now, with the news of a sequel on the horizon, I finally found the motivation to revisit it on PC—and I’m glad I did.

Every environment, character, and enemy feels meticulously crafted, making the entire experience feel like an interactive painting. It’s rare to find a game where the visuals remain timeless, but Ōkami HD still holds up beautifully.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the combat system is another highlight. The use of the Celestial Brush to perform attacks and interact with the world is one of the most unique mechanics in any action-adventure game. Slashing enemies, restoring nature, and solving puzzles with brush techniques never gets old, and the fluidity of combat keeps things engaging throughout.

However, one aspect that has always bothered me—and still does—is the inability to fast-read through dialogue. While the writing and storytelling are charming, the slow text speed can feel frustrating, especially during long conversations. It’s a small issue in the grand scheme of things, but it occasionally disrupts the pacing, making certain moments feel dragged out.

Overall, Ōkami HD is still a masterpiece that deserves to be experienced by anyone who appreciates artful game design, creative mechanics, and immersive storytelling. Despite my minor gripe with the dialogue speed, the game’s beauty and depth more than make up for it. With a sequel on the way, now is the perfect time to dive back into this classic.

One of the best PS2 games (And there are a lot) and it's even better with widescreen and HD support. Still holds up in 2025.

Playing through this game again on the steam deck has been genuinely one of the best times I've had in a long time, with videogames at least. I played originally on the Wii, 100%ed the game over months, and I'm sure I'm gonna do the same with this version. Classic game even if there are points where you can tell this game was originally made in the PS2 era (the amount of jokes that revolved SA towards women at the start was mildly unpleasant), but the issues are momentary and fleeting, even if you end up love hating that jumping green BUG that lives in your equipment pouch.

Gameplay is fun and Story is Perfect. Played the game since PS2 era and it still is fun and memorable. Ahhh the nostalgia..

10/10 Masterpiece

A fantastic version of one of the best adventure games of our time. The camera has that good ol' PS2 jank to it still but the game otherwise holds up really well. The characters are charming, the story is engaging, the level design and world are interesting, the boss fights have unique gimmicks, the music is moving, and the art! OH THE GORGEOUS STYLE of this game!

If you can't tell, I love this game. I've loved it since playing it back on the PS2 and I'm sure I will continue to love it long into the future. The sequel announcement was a good excuse to pick up this version and own the game a 4th time so I could play it on stream and I'm so glad I did. There are parts towards the end of the game that I had forgotten about and I will say the ending had me moved to tears. I've grown into such a big silly softie anymore but man does this game hit just right.

An absolute classic that is worth your time and money. Don't sleep on this one. Especially if you're a fan of like Zelda games and similar. It's a standout among the formula.

Not just an unforgettable adventure, but simply a fun and lovely way to bring art into a game

so excited this game is getting another in the series. One of my favorite story games of all time. Artwork is incredible. Game is super fun and there are tons of cute characters

Fantastic game. An absolutely brilliant experience that despite being almost 20 years old is still holding up to this day. It measures up to the all time greats of video games. What an experience! Highly recommend it even at full price.

Gaming really doesn't get much better than this!

What can be said about Okami that hasn't been said before? Not much, if we're being honest, and what I'm about to say is more of the same, since I freaking love this game.

Okami is very dear to my heart. I played as a child with little to no English knowledge (a thing that, in retrospect, I consider to be pretty impressive since the brutal amount of dialogue this game has). I only knew that I really liked it, and since the sequel was announced, I thought it was a perfect time to re-play it, now with an adult mindset and a clearer understanding of what this game is about.

To be short? I wasn't expecting to like it this much. The gameplay, albeit simple, is entirely enjoyable for me. I love the Celestial Brush mechanic, which can be pretty fun to use and spam in combat, on par with the button-smashing that is using your weapons. I'm a simple person: You give me enemies to slash and destroy without it being tedious, and I will have the time of my life. Even in the boss fights, I found myself having a lot of fun trying to see how fast I could beat them. If you're here for a complicated combat system, you won't find it here. It's like a children's introduction to a hack-and-slash kinda game, with some challenges along the way (Looking at you, Devil Gate Trials).

The art style is the big protagonist here, tho. It's undeniable the beauty of it, and how well it holds up even after all these years. Unique and inspiring, it's one of those you know where it's from by just looking at one random screenshot.

The story is extremely Japanese. Not just because it's about Japanese mythology, of course, but also because its main focus is hope, growth, and resilience against even stronger forces than your own and even the well-known Power of Friendship with a goddess turn to it. I find it charming, even when Issun is annoying (All part of his arc, yes, so I forgive him a little about it).

Now about the port: I've seen some comments about how you can't alt-tab your way into it, and I agree it's annoying (especially when I was achievement hunting and I had to have my phone with me all the time to read the guides). Also, sometimes I had a problem when the game started where it reset my settings from full-screen to windowed. Kinda annoying, but nothing I couldn't fix. Besides that, everything worked fine.

So yeah! Do I recommend it? I think this is one of those games every person should play at least once. It may not be for everyone, but I do think everyone can at least appreciate one thing or two from it.

Not sure how I haven't played this game earlier. The gameplay isn't anything special but the game oozes so much charm it's hard to put down.

I remember watching a playthrough of this game nearly 15 years ago. I'm glad I waited this long to play it for myself because it was amazing to experience this masterpiece for myself and hardly remembering any of it. Great story and great gameplay. There were a few frustrating parts that I had to look up, but overall an amazing experience! I'm really excited for the sequel! It definitely has become one of my favorite games!

9/10

I started this game focusing on how the combat was gonna be like since I was shown it by a friend, but realized that this game did not focus on that, rather in exploration. It was not exactly the game I expected, but it was for the best in the end. Great and unique artstyle, Amaterasu feels fun to just move around with, the level/map design always encouraging you to explore more, and the good story all combined make a really fun experience. While this isn't an open-world game, it's something pretty close to that, and I enjoyed it despite me not typically going for that genre of games. Definitely recommend, and I am officially seated and waiting for the sequel :)

It was one of my favourite games when it came out in 2006 and it remains one of my favourite games 19 years later. Stunning graphics, engaging gameplay and a brilliant soundtrack.

It's a great game to play on the Steam Deck; the graphics work really well on the smaller screen, though I do recommend changing the aspect ratio to the original 4:3.

I'm seeing most reviews in here praise the artstyle, while others are criticising aspects like the pacing and gameplays and whatever else. I can see what they mean, but honestly all aspects of the game come together extremely well to make an unforgettable experience for me.

Firstly to get it out of the way, visuals. They're pretty perfect, we know this, and I know I'll never get tired of the brushstroke style it portrays.

Gameplay and world is really solid. The world itself and the characters you meet are varied and interesting, and there's a lot to offer from just running around. Travel itself never felt slow for me, it just felt nice to run as a wolf and watch the wind blow through you. Plus plenty of optional encounters and hidden treasures, and enough different weapons to keep fights tense but never impossible, alongside the many brushstrokes to interact with the environment.

The story and side stuff can get tedious, whether due to just running around from one place to another or RNG, but there's a lot there to keep you engaged and drive you to even fully complete the game if you wanted to.

Overall, I do understand that it can be tricky to recommend Okami to people. The artstyle draws you in immediately, but you may not be interested in what the main gameplay has to offer initially.

That being said, I'd highly recommend anyone to try this game at least once. It is well worth the effort to at the very least test out the gameplay for a bit so you can say that you have. But you will feel a
hell of a lot more rewarded to get through the full game, hell I encourage you to go through the main story at least.

People say it's a masterpiece for good reason. We've been waiting years for more, and I can't believe we finally get an official sequel to relive the magic and experience a new journey in Ammie's life.

on yod it’s peak man very unique gameplay, a lovely art style and i really liked all the funny little freaks you meet along the journey (susano’s my goat)

10/10 i NEVER want to see blockhead again!!!

I think this game is pretty good. Haven't gotten that far into it yet but i definitely see what's all the hype about Okami

An amazing story and beautiful graphics.

very creative gameplay, old but gold

A masterpiece. It is to the Legend of Zelda what Sleeping Dogs is to Grand Theft Auto. Excellent puzzles, story, atmosphere, and flow. The best game I have played in years.

Definitely enjoyed the game, only real issue I can recall is the wonky camera at times.

Played the original version on the PS2 and decided to get it again when I saw it was on sale. It's just like the original version with the added boon of better graphics.

It runs like a dream and I haven't seen any bugs or glitches during my time playing. Using brush techniques is a lot easier with a mouse than it was using an analog stick on a controller.

The one caveat is that you're going to have fiddle around with the options to change the screen resolution, rebind keys, mouse/camera sensitivity, etc. When I first started it launched in windowed mode so unless you enjoy that, you're going to have fix it yourself. It also doesn't support larger screen resolutions such as 1920 x 1080 which is what I have. I found that using the largest option available is enough and I don't notice too much of a difference.

For those who haven't played Okami before know that it is pretty story/dialogue heavy. This is no more obvious than with the opening story and cutscenes. If you're the type that wants to boot up a game and get right into the gameplay, this is not the game for you. But, if you enjoy a good story and dialogue than you'll likely enjoy this game.

Overall, there are a few little bumps here and there, but it is a great game that I can't recommend enough especially if you've played the original on console.

The artstyle and visuals in general are very unique. The combat is satisfying too. If you want something different from the games of today, then give it a shot.
