Okami HD

This is my comfort game. I have this on PS2, PS4 and now on PC too. In all versions I’ve 100%ed the game, and on the PS2 version multiple times. That alone tells how much I love this game. One of the best games ever made. The OST, graphics, story and characters are just /chef kiss. There’s no other game on this Earth that would feel so much like home to me. I usually take my time just to do silly stuff like vibe in Kamiki village with Mrs. Orange and watch her doing her laundry, or turning the entire Oina tribe into dogs for s**t and giggles. Time has treated this one well, probably because of its cool graphics. They were awesome back then since I had never seen anything like it, and they’re still awesome to this day. The ink painting style with a bit of grain adds to the nostalgic looks. If you learn all skills and max your weapons, the main story bosses are all pretty casual fights. But if you want to do everything there is to do, some of the optional fights can be tough (in a good way). In case you haven’t played this yet, you have a black hole in your general education. If you’re into RPGs, Japan, like dogs and if your power fantasy is to be a benevolent god, you WILL want ot play this before you die. Get it NAOW!

This game is like a Zelda-type adventure game that is heavily based on Japanese mythology. You play as a wolf God going around Nippon to restore the land and defeat the Evil One for good. Since you're a wolf who can't talk, you're accompanied by a companion that does the dialog on your behalf, except he's no bigger than a flea and is practically a simp for every smoking hot babe you meet in the story. If I had to take a shot every time he simped for a babe I wouldn't be drunk but he would be drowning in alcohol. Gameplay is simple with tons of side-quests, secrets and collectibles, which encourages you to explore the world and every crevice. Most of the side-quests are optional, but completing them makes you feel as if you're Santa Claus for the villagers. 10/10 would recommend if you enjoy relaxing story-based games or scratching that itch to feel like being a Santa.

I believe that back when Ookami was made, Kamiya was a much more hopeful and optimistic person. The game is overladen with the hope that the color and culture will wash over the dark times with just a bit of hope and a prayer. Ever since then he's just been very grumpy and his work has been more outpourings of frustration at how the world refuses to accept all this optimism and good will. In either case, this game is a masterpiece that people do not appreciate enough. They see it as just a game, they see past all the little things that make up an emotional work. But there's always some people who know what it's like to push a glint of giving a ♥♥♥♥ through everything, and who else would that kind of message be for?

Esse jogo é perfeito, uma Obra-Prima, ele não tem defeitos. Se o Okami tem um milhão de fãs, eu estou entre eles, se o Okami só tem um único fã, então eu sou única fã, se o Okami não tem nenhum fã, então eu não existo.

Greatest art direction I've ever seen. I grew up playing Okami on Ps2 and have beaten it 10+ times. It always makes me happy. Crazy to think this game is 20 years old and not only plays perfect but retains absolutely all charm. <3

游戏是好游戏，但玩得比较累，如果之前没了解过的话，最好要有以下心理建设： 1.大神的战斗全是机制怪，也就是要用特定的方式才能打出伤害，有时候初见打了半天都是木大木大就挺抓狂的，如果你喜欢莽夫打法那么未必会喜欢这样的战斗（当然了，可以多买点道具，或者直接看攻略，这样或许也能打得挺爽的，不要像我一样玩到最后才开始买道具）。 2.中后期会有很多智勇大闯关环节，我3D游戏玩得少不好评价，只能说给空间感差的人玩这个还是有点坐牢的，而且游戏的视角不稳定经常需要自己调。 上面这两点是我个人苦手，实际好不好玩因人而异吧。至于笔业系统，有时会识别出错但不构成大问题，个人感觉还行（手柄玩家）。 大神这个游戏，一上来给我感觉十分惊艳，有种玩到20年前狗版塞尔达的震撼，不过玩到后面各种让我苦手的机制都浮现出来了，玩得可谓又爱又恨。整个游戏在民俗绘卷风的基础上给人一种朴实的乐趣，比如帮村民抓小偷、挖洞捣乱等，光是正经游戏里让人当狗这点就包含了独特的趣味性，让人觉得它很有魅力！当然了以现在的眼光看也许不是很时髦，人物形象稍显粗糙，比较适合喜欢复古、有一颗淳朴之心的人，如果对玩法接受度高那就更好了。

Crazy to think that a 20 year-old game holds up graphically so well because of the art direction. If you have a computer that runs Steam, it probably runs Okami too. Has some pacing issues (like one particular boss you need to fight three times) and is very easy combat-wise, but I think it's still a fantastic game. Also this was my first time playing it so there's no nostalgia talking. Absolutely love the characters and the goofy antics they are up to!
