Would make this neutral as it's probably a great game but some parts have not aged well. I personally got a headache and some nausea from playing it, which is why I'm tipping towards negative. If you're prone to that, I'd stay away. Negatives: - Locked to 30 FPS - Some dialogue is super slow and cant be sped up or skipped without missing the whole scene - Camera is floaty and automatically adjusts itself constantly …

Okay, here's the thing. This game game is charming as hell and has a great heart. The art style is gorgeous, and running around the world is a treat. At the same time, like many others, I dropped the game several times before playing through beginning to end. Why? This game is slow. The brush mechanics are novel if a bit narrow in scope and somewhat awkward on controller. The gameplay is a mix of good and clunky. …

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 …

More than a decade after its PlayStation 2 debut, Okami remains one of Japan's most extraordinary creations. A Zelda-like adventure so drenched in ink-wash beauty and folklore that it feels less like a game and more like a living scroll. This PC version, supporting 4K resolution, is definitively the finest way to experience it. The only disappointment? A 30fps lock on even the most capable hardware. What Works The …

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

neutral · AI labelView post →The first Okami was easily my favorite Wii game. It's a shame it's not more popular. It's famously the worst selling game of the year. With a sequel announced now, it'd be a good time for you to check out Okami HD! It's similar to middle-Zelda games like Twilight Princess.

positive · AI labelView post →Finding out that Okami HD is labelled as “somewhat woke” on that stupid “anti-woke game” spreadsheet has made my week, tbh. All because Amaterasu is written as genderless. Terrifying stuff. I’m shaking in my boots, really. Good for Ammy, I hope she’s having a great day.

neutral · AI labelView post →Okami HD I knew this game was gonna be fun but I never expected Okami to be this incredible. This is one of the best Capcom games I ever played and up there for one the greatest games in general. Music, artstyle, characters, and gameplay were all well done. Really looking forward to that sequel 🙏
positive · AI labelView post →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…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okami HD ✅️ I can see why it is so beloved. The art style is charming and it plays a lot like the earlier 3D Zelda games. Some annoying characters and mechanics throughout, but overall a very good game and I'm glad I finally played it. #Okami

positive · AI labelView post →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!

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I also started Okami HD (revisiting all the Capcom stuff). This will be like my 7th time starting this game but I’m hoping this will be my last. That beginning takes like 40 min to get going through omg. But it sure does look very pretty on my retroid pocket 5 with the AMOLED screen. Unffff.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm doing everything in my power to give this game a fair chance, but the irritating lack of PC support as well as the awful menu options and default controls, which reset every time you open the game, is making this very hard. First of all, the game boots in a small windowed mode, similar to Undertale, but unless you picked Borderless Windowed, the game will always boot back into that small window. If you picked regular Fullscreen, there is a very large chance that whenever you tab out of the…

The exploration, puzzles, paintbrush in combat, the dungeons and FEEDING ANIMALS (WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY TELL ME?!). Amaterasu is just chefs kiss

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thats a wrap on Okami HD Overall i am really glad i finally played it. I can completely see why its soo well liked and why its viewed as a classic. I give it like a 7/10 personally and while i enjoyed it…. I will NEVER replay this game lol. And for me, walking away not wanting to replay 🫠🫠
neutral · AI labelView post →This has been one of my favorite games for MANY years. Gorgeous, playing through a moving painting, and the story is engaging and compelling. STRONGLY recommend this one.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like this game, but after realizing that the game is locked 30fps and there is no way to turn off motion blur, this isn't playable for me.

positive · AI labelView post →Perhaps one of the most incredible games of all time. What else can be said? The story, art, design, and characters in Okami are one of a kind. I cried a little bit when it was announced another Okami game would be coming in the next few years. Truly a masterpiece.

positive · AI labelView post →Beautiful and memorable game that will feel very familiar to someone who's played Legend of Zelda (especially Wind Waker). This is one of the most unique games I've ever played. IMO, this is one of those games that are testament to how games truly are an artform - not just toys. That's not to say that this game isn't also fun, in addition to being visually stunning. It's a fun game. Admittedly, the combat can be a bit repetitive sometimes, especially in the beginning, but as you unlock more…

Issun is a perverted creep that REPEATEDLY harasses women, verbally and physically. and it gets played off as a joke. every. single. time. this is only made worse by the fact that he is with you CONSTANTLY. he never leaves. he never stops being a creep. his dialogue is boring and goes on WAY TOO LONG. he honestly ruins every single thing about this game and i refuse to pick it up…

It is a one of a kind experience, and that alone earns it a thumbs up from me. Visually, it is absolutely incredible. The art style and presentation still look better than many modern games, and it genuinely feels timeless. While the game leans more desaturated than my personal taste, that is ultimately a preference issue rather than a flaw. The…

Filled with wonderfully selected music that showcase certain aspects and feelings of the storyline with gameplay elements displayed through a unique style of artistry. Okami is definitely a game I highly recommend. It's beautiful, peaceful and gets you thinking while not being overly challenging. If you love calligraphy and Japanese folklore,…

I wasn't sure what to expect from Okami, but it turned out to be a very visually stunning game with unique fun puzzles to solve by drawing on the screen with a pen. The characters were quirky and fun, with and plenty of gag comedy as well as some more serious moments. Everything in spirit of japanese folklore. The sound, music, art and unique atmosphere is definitely very memorable. The combat was decent…
