I hope it sells well this time around. Hideki Kamiya has repeatedly expressed interest in making a full-blown sequel, so if this makes enough money, maybe Capcom will let him.
I would buy that day one if they had the same creative team working it. It does kind of set up a sequel that would be very different (given the ending which I won’t spoil here).
This game is such a beautiful master piece but sorry man it will just never sell . I hope capcom just releases a sequel and markets it enough for some good profit , but as far as okami hd goes , unfortunately it won't sell...sooo underrated
This is like the 3rd generation this game has been released and I have still yet to play it. This game is going on my New Year's resolutions list. I owe it to myself to play it.
VZA good idea getting a game list into a new year resolution. Guess I am gonna do myself too. Never finished this game before and now I wanna play it again
Am I the only one here not bothered in the slightest by 30fps? It's not a multiplayer competition requiring the fastest reactions possible. 60fps is nice, but completely unnecessary to making a fantastic game. Seriously, just play this, it's one of the best games you'll ever play.
Nah, you're not. While 60fps is nice to have and definitely preferred, 30fps isn't a deal-breaker, especially for a single-player story-driven game. I just beat the game for the first time, and I wonder why I did not play it sooner! Especially considering I was already a fan of the Zelda franchise
I still have this for my ps2. If someone turned up their nose to this game solely because its 30 fps they need to sell all their game consoles and pc. Game is fantastic. Buy it so that maybe we can get the sequel ive been waiting for since 2007 :(
Okami was the first game I played through as a kid and I could not and would not drop it. I was 11 years old when it came out for PS2 and to see the beautiful graphics it has today, I couldn't help but buy it for the PS4 AND for the PC on Steam. The story you get from this game never ceases to awe and make me laugh, and I hope it's as enjoyable to the new players that became aware to this game with it's new release and better graphics, as it was for me~
I love this game. I really love this game. To this day, the final boss battle still move me to tears and the ending theme is one of my favorite songs of all time. I really, really love this game. Definitely on the list for this Winter Sale (aka, the only times I still buy video games) along with Touhou 16.
yes. the song for the cutscene for the final boss still makes me teary eyed. My first play through the music timed up absolutely perfectly to the big moment that gave me chills... how many games out there can have that much of an effect and still do that every time it happens?
Reset is one of those songs that whenever it comes up on my playlists, I never skip it and i just go into full blown nostalgia mode. Absolutely incredible song.
ive been playing this game yearly since it was released. i have it on the ps2, wii, ps3, and im most likely going to buy it for my ps4. i wish i could experience the first few play throughs all over again. its on of the most beautiful games and i love how the controls work. if you have trouble drawing, try it on the wii. the wii controls still feel very natural and the drawing mechanism is a lot easier to handle.
This review is 100% spot on, and an excellent example of why you're my preferred reviewer. I just got the platinum on the PS3 version of Okami about a month ago, and I think it does run a bit long. Overall: wonderful game. I can see myself picking it up on PS4 in the future.
I still put this game above any Zelda game, including BOTW. BOTW was amazing and deserving of the game of the year award it received, but for me it still doesn't top Okami.
+1RacerXer I completely agree. botw is better in terms of traversal and world interactivity imo but okami is leagues better than botw in just about everything else
One thing I have to say is if you can get your hands on the wii version and pl;ay it on the wii.... you will find that this game fits so well for a Wii. This game in hands down one of the best games to have been made. the story, music and art are so intertwined that i have called this game a artwork all of its own. its replayable in a way that no other game is and really just has a charm that no other game out there has. good review and i hope this encourages people to buy the game and experiance just how amazing this game truely is.
The best Zelda Nintendo never made. It gives you that kind of feeling and has a very similar tone to Zelda. This game is a classic to me and one of the best of the PS2. However, I already own the original PS2 and HD PS3 versions so won’t be buying it for a third time.
This game is giving me life; it’s hauntingly beautiful, the characters are great, the score is impeccable and next to that the story line is truly amazing! After finishing this game, I played it again and really took my time to fulfill the nice side quests and explored the breathtaking world. I just strolled for an hour in Sasa Sparrow In and stayed at the onsen (hot water spring spa) with a smile on my face, due to the cute and funny sparrow employees over there. That’s how great Okami is
A personal favorite and a true classic, Okami should come with one major warning: the first third of the game is slow, talky and hand-holdy AF. I gave up more than once on my first playthrough back in 2007 because I just couldn't take another unskippable cutscene. Don't! At one point the game just suddenly opens up, starts trusting you, and becomes the best Zelda never made.
I absolutely loved this game on my old console. I'm a suckered for cell shading - couple that with a great story and unique, well-executed play mechanics, and you've got yourself a must-play game.
I finished this game on PS2, and I plan do again in my Xbox One...Okami is a classic! By the way, good review, Karak! It's always a pleasure see a honest and detailed opinion about any game, and helps a lot when the person really knows what you talking about.
now i own this game in ps2, ps3 and soon ps4 and pc, dont let the 30fps hold you back from not buying this game, its only 20 bucks and in my opinion one of the best and most unique games out there i have actually enjoyed it more than any zelda up to date
This is 30fps? I never noticed playing the PS3 version. I guess the artstyle helps covering it up. One of my favourite games ever regardless. Plays like a Zelda game , but with less puzzles and more (amazing) combat.
Azurfen The art style really helps disguise the frame rate, which was really smart on the developer’s part. I still play this on the Wii and it is still more stunning than many titles today because it is so unique.
You won't regret playing! Take your time and explore. If you have any questions, you can ask me (as long as they arent about the gameplay... I'll be playing my copy later to replenish my memory)!
Was replaying this on PS2 again last year. Its got a few slow spots but overall its fantastic definitely up there with the classics also love how it pulls so heavily from Japanese mythology and blends all these tales and themes together in its world in such an organic fashion.
It’s been a while since I’ve played the PS2 original, but I seem to remember there’s a way to speed up the brush while drawing. I want to say it’s holding Circle, but I can’t remember. Not sure if it’s in a tutorial or if it was removed for some reason (can’t imagine why) for the remakes, either. Really, though, the brush speed up makes it much easier to play. I guess I should look it up again…
I originally played Okami on the Wii, which made me so sad because everything about the game was so awesome that I wanted to play it but using the motion controller was utter torture. It was one of those games that I'd play, get disgusted and walk away, then a year later have warm fuzzy feelings about it and try it again only to quit in disgust, again. The moment I saw it was re-released on Steam I jumped on it. SUCH an improvement! I am loving the game so much and I think it's aged really well. I also got through the Konohama Shuffle the first time and that was good for my blood pressure.
I absolutely love this game. It is unique and explores (loosely) some Shinto mythology, not something we see a lot of in games. Not to mention the game is just so damn pretty.
Capcom have released many great games since then. Not excusing any of their bad stuff (and there's a lot) but saying Okami is their last "epic" game is definitely a stretch
By the way, for the timed brush stroke sections, you can hold down x to move the brush a lot faster across the canvas, and you can hold down x and square at the same time to paint faster.
Cheers , great review as always , have a great Xmas mate , I love the podcasts , use them on my long drives in Australia , happy to be someone who donates to your work , thanks again
Thanks for the review! This is one of the few PS3 games that were highly regarded that I never got a chance to play. I guess this is when remasters work the best. Looking forward to diving into Okami!
I still trust to modding community to fix the 30fps issue. Nevertheless, can't wait to beat this game again, now on my PC instead of my PS2. It's a timeless classic that everyone should try.
I remember hearing about some porting weirdness during the development of the wii version because Clover made quite a few "WHO DOES THAT!?" decisions for this game like having a stupidly high native resolution for a ps2 game or skipping textures entirely and putting all those designs on the model itself. I wouldn't be surprised if forcing 60fps on higher end platforms would end up with the entire game running on fast forward.
Got the Platinum on PS3 like two weeks before this was announced. Still buying because it's at such a great price, and it's an amazing game that I can get another Platinum on.
Definitely an amazing and unique game. Glad it is getting preserved on more platforms. I still own it on my PS3, it probably doesn't carry over to my PS4.
I liked the giberish talk back in 2006, and im liking it right now too, it was pretty unique. I understand how it would be just annoying for others tho...
This game is charming and witty, yet still serious and heart wrenching when it needs to be. The art direction and soundtrack are beautiful. For a fairly linear game, I found the story to be incredibly entrancing and interesting with a good number of turns (you know which turn I'm talking about specifically-- she busty ;)). Long story short, this game is a must play. It is excellent. One of the best games I've ever played. It's also one of the only games I can come back and sincerely enjoy after playing it through like 12 times.
I've played this game on PS2.I really enjoyed this game, loved the soundtrack, especially that "A Great Spirit Lies in Wait" theme. If you haven't played this game I strongly suggest you do so. ACG you've nailed it again, you review is exactly how I feel about this game, thumbs up!
A really good review...and now I will watch some other reviews...Because just 2 hours until it will be released *_* Im super hyped to play this masterpiece again!
I play a little of the sequel was good but inferior compareto this one, I don't know I prefer the gameplay on this one, here I think is perfect there are some sidequest and thing of the sort that I don't like, (mainly the digging game) but for the most part I did have a blast.
I highly recommend this game, it's still a beautiful and engaging game 11 years after it's original release and well worth the money. It's great for those of us who don't have a Nintendo system and are yearning to play a Zelda like game. A most definite buy and one of the best games that hardly anyone has played.
Shaunak Deshpande you can ease yourself with fast forwarding the text, if there's no option available. This is on the ps3 version, atleast: square -> fast forward without skipping the dialogue. triangle -> fast forward and continues to the next dialogue. you don't need to mash that confirm button.
Beautiful game with just enough of a challenge to entertain you without it getting frustrating. This game always felt relaxing and peaceful to play. One of my favorite RPGs that I'll definitely pick up and play again
Thanks for great review, ACG. Okami is still to this day my favourite game and I can't wait to play through it again. I was also curious to know if you were planning on reviewing that Jak Collection that came out recently at all?
I loved the game on PS2 an PS3 - my one, and only gripe, and it's kind of a big one is the unskippable, LONG AS FUCKING BALLS dialogues. They drag on forever, and in this game you can't even speed them up. It's painful and does detract, however slightly from an otherwise outstanding experience. This game was a dud, an utter inexplicable failure when it came out even though the reviews across the board were stellar and to see it getting love two console generations later, make me smile. If you've never played it, pick it up, it's so worth it. Looks gorgeous, stunning, and the game play is fun. Also, it's a long game. I beat it, then realized that was just the first adventure, there's a whole second adventure. If you're on the fence this is a must buy for anyone who loves, or even likes video games.
I think this is one of those games that I'll always buy, play and enjoy every time it's released... be it on PS2, PS3, now PS4 and prolly PS5. Easily one of the best games of all-time. Unless you play the Wii version, lol.
I bought this game when it came out and didn't know a thing about it, it is still one of my favorite games of all time to this day lol, I might re-buy this version just to revisit it one last time. Great reviews as always Karak, best reviewer of all time, not even joking.
I don't know if the comment section is the right place for this but you should take a look and a new platformer called Phantom Jump. It is the #1 new release in platforming on Steam.
Your reviews are always enjoyable regardless if I buy the game or not. I'm going to try this on the PC because it looks so different than what I usually buy and play. It's cheap so I'll give it a try. As always, thanks.
Bought this for Xbox One X and it looks incredible in 4K. Got it for $17 with Gamer’s Club Unlocked From Best Buy; that’s a flat out steal. Don’t pass up this game! It still holds up even today. It’s a classic as far as I’m concerned. It has both quality and content, and that’s rare these days.
Everyone talks about how good it was on PS2....but it was even better on the Wii. The paintbrush mechanic is absolutely perfect with it. I'm honestly kind of disappointed there's no way for me to play Okami HD with similar motion controls because that was the best and most intuitive way to play it.
If you have a PS3, you can get the HD version for it and that version features PS Move Controller support, similar to the Wii's motion controls. That HD version looks just as good as this one and plays just as smooth, plus it's a bit cheaper...
I was just thinking yesterday that this game needs an HD remake badly, and today this was the first thing that popped up for me on the Steam front page! :D
Acg you're the God of the reviewers! The only one I really trust! Thank you so much for your work. Are you considering also the possibility of reviewing films? Happy Christmas from Italy :)
I have purchased and played through this game twice. Once on PS2 and once on PS3 and I will most likely purchase and play through it again now on my PS4!
Hoo boy this takes me back. Edit "and an incredible sense of timing for its unlocks". Yes! I remember being floored after beating the first major boss and realizing the game was far from over. And I had played a bunch of games before so so it wasn't newbie awe. It's weird now that I think about it I play games longer than it regularly but I don't get that feeling. When did games forget how to pace themselves?
This should have been on switch. Doesn't look like something I'd want to play on t.v., but would definitely do so on my switch (never use the damn thing docked anyway)
Ok so I've bought it on PS4 my first time playing it and I'm absolutely in love with it! In easy 40 odd hours in (I'm taking time talking and making sure I hear all dialogue etc), I just last night thought I completed it I beat Orochi! I waited for credits to roll... They haven't I have more to play!!!😁😁😁👌 I'm not sure how much more but still cool!
I had some real struggles figuring out where to go the first time around but I'm so glad I stick with it. No other game gave me quite the same feelings.
Hahaha "Like Timothy Leary crawled inside of Bob Ross' brain and had some kind of fever dream" Great line man. Subscribed, thanks for the quality content

I am sure some diehard fan is going to explode due to my mistake of saying "he" one time in the video. Don't.
Summary for the game its good.
Karak is there Mouse support? Might buy this again for PC if I can paint with my mouse.
To be fair I don't blame you, even though Amaterasu is a goddess she certainly isn't feminised in the game.
my thanks
oh dear. You aren't going to be happy long here lol. If that makes you cringe you won't make it through a single review lol:)
Elena Coutinho-Taylor 30 seconds in Google Image Search with safesearch off is all the research anyone needs.
I hope it sells well this time around. Hideki Kamiya has repeatedly expressed interest in making a full-blown sequel, so if this makes enough money, maybe Capcom will let him.
okami den is the sequel, but I hope it gets another fucking game
I would buy that day one if they had the same creative team working it. It does kind of set up a sequel that would be very different (given the ending which I won’t spoil here).
Pls pls let that happen, lets pray together >.
NeonFirefly
I shall pray for his wish to become true.
*cue Reset Thank You*
This game is such a beautiful master piece but sorry man it will just never sell . I hope capcom just releases a sequel and markets it enough for some good profit , but as far as okami hd goes , unfortunately it won't sell...sooo underrated
This is like the 3rd generation this game has been released and I have still yet to play it. This game is going on my New Year's resolutions list. I owe it to myself to play it.
Same, i would love this on switch tho!
VZA Pls, for the love of Amaterasu, play this game. Over a decade later the game is still a masterpiece !
VZA good idea getting a game list into a new year resolution. Guess I am gonna do myself too. Never finished this game before and now I wanna play it again
You owe it to the game to play it!
play this game! It's such an underrated classic and it's a travesty that more people haven't played this game
This will be the third time I purchase the game and I don't regret it in the slightest.
Pscdub72 I never played it should I get it
One of my favourite PS2 games ever. Best thing about it is that you get to play as a Wolf/Dog . Might buy it a third time . Classic
agreed
I couldn't agree more. Cell shaded games seem to age much more gracefully than your average game.
Reay old game? It's from 2007, that was only 5 years ag-OH MY GOD
Kiuraz 10...
2006 actually, same year that Zelda Twilight Princess came out
Crazy isn't it?
2006. The year where PS3 and the Wii came out and Windows Vista for PC.
Time seems to sped up faster as you grow older my friend
Am I the only one here not bothered in the slightest by 30fps? It's not a multiplayer competition requiring the fastest reactions possible. 60fps is nice, but completely unnecessary to making a fantastic game. Seriously, just play this, it's one of the best games you'll ever play.

It's not a deal breaker. It's just a disappointment.
This game made me warm inside. Which is inkredibly rare.
me to but I run hot
mmmm melons
I still have this for my ps2. If someone turned up their nose to this game solely because its 30 fps they need to sell all their game consoles and pc. Game is fantastic. Buy it so that maybe we can get the sequel ive been waiting for since 2007 :(
You never play Okamiden? I think that game only came out on the Nintendo DS but that is a sequel.
ShadowMagnum its already got a sequel Ōkami den for the Nintendo DS
Even tho i liked OkamiDen, i will neves consider it canon, as it wasnt made by Clover Studios.
Pablo González Hermosilla Same here. Just like I won't consider Sly 4 canon as it wasn't made by Sucker Punch.
@@marcusporter7565
Well it's not called Sly 4.
Okami was the first game I played through as a kid and I could not and would not drop it. I was 11 years old when it came out for PS2 and to see the beautiful graphics it has today, I couldn't help but buy it for the PS4 AND for the PC on Steam.

Loved this game for the Wii it's an absolute classic if you haven't played it please give it a go
I love this game. I really love this game. To this day, the final boss battle still move me to tears and the ending theme is one of my favorite songs of all time. I really, really love this game. Definitely on the list for this Winter Sale (aka, the only times I still buy video games) along with Touhou 16.
yes. the song for the cutscene for the final boss still makes me teary eyed. My first play through the music timed up absolutely perfectly to the big moment that gave me chills... how many games out there can have that much of an effect and still do that every time it happens?
Reset is one of those songs that whenever it comes up on my playlists, I never skip it and i just go into full blown nostalgia mode. Absolutely incredible song.
Feng Lengshun awesome gonna pick this game up asap.. i never played okami buut i played as okami in marvel vs capcom games lol
just take it , u won't regret
I love Ammy's game.
Another excellent review !
Last time I played this was on PS2 on launch day so I will rediscover the game :)
ive been playing this game yearly since it was released. i have it on the ps2, wii, ps3, and im most likely going to buy it for my ps4.
i wish i could experience the first few play throughs all over again. its on of the most beautiful games and i love how the controls work. if you have trouble drawing, try it on the wii. the wii controls still feel very natural and the drawing mechanism is a lot easier to handle.
This was one of my favorite PS2 games, I'm so happy it got ported. I couldn't give a rats ass if it's locked at 30fps, I just want to play it again.
This review is 100% spot on, and an excellent example of why you're my preferred reviewer. I just got the platinum on the PS3 version of Okami about a month ago, and I think it does run a bit long. Overall: wonderful game. I can see myself picking it up on PS4 in the future.
Lawrence Newman This version is linked to the PS3 trophy list. So there are no trophies to unlock if you already unlocked the platinum on PS3.
By far one of the greatest games I've played.
Would love a 2nd one.
okami den for the ds came out a few years after
tubabluba789 Too bad it was garbage
I wish Okami/Okamiden has a sequel (hell, maybe a pre-sequel). This is one of my favorites next to Zelda.
Beauty incarnate, what games used to be.
Okami is the best Zelda game
Gaaraape Umm, No.
I still put this game above any Zelda game, including BOTW. BOTW was amazing and deserving of the game of the year award it received, but for me it still doesn't top Okami.
+1RacerXer I completely agree. botw is better in terms of traversal and world interactivity imo but okami is leagues better than botw in just about everything else
Okami is excellent
Basically the first and only Zelda-like Clover ever made and it was better than any Zelda game
Gaaraape Word.
One thing I have to say is if you can get your hands on the wii version and pl;ay it on the wii.... you will find that this game fits so well for a Wii.

You know, if you hold down the X button while using the Celestial Brush, you can paint faster. This comes in very handy in the timed sections.
The best Zelda Nintendo never made. It gives you that kind of feeling and has a very similar tone to Zelda. This game is a classic to me and one of the best of the PS2. However, I already own the original PS2 and HD PS3 versions so won’t be buying it for a third time.
lol
Dark Cloud and Darksiders are my favorite non-Zelda Zelda games but I just got this today so hopefully I love it too, lol.
Agreed. Hell, it's also the best Zelda game, period.
I'm SO glad this game was remastered and I'll finally be able to play it on a system I actually own! As always, thanks for the review! :)
This game is giving me life; it’s hauntingly beautiful, the characters are great, the score is impeccable and next to that the story line is truly amazing! After finishing this game, I played it again and really took my time to fulfill the nice side quests and explored the breathtaking world.

amazing game, played it a ton on PS2. Buying this one for sure
A personal favorite and a true classic, Okami should come with one major warning: the first third of the game is slow, talky and hand-holdy AF.

Thank you for reviewing the remastered version of one of my favorite games of my childhood
sure
One of the best games ever made. Best remaster imo so far. Best Price. Absolutely best soundtrack in any game EVER made period. 100% Worth it.
I finished this game on PS2, and I plan do again in my Xbox One...Okami is a classic!
By the way, good review, Karak! It's always a pleasure see a honest and detailed opinion about any game, and helps a lot when the person really knows what you talking about.
Just finished my last final exam and I can't wait to relax and play this tomorrow, thanks for the awesome review!
now i own this game in ps2, ps3 and soon ps4 and pc, dont let the 30fps hold you back from not buying this game, its only 20 bucks and in my opinion one of the best and most unique games out there i have actually enjoyed it more than any zelda up to date

My boyfriend bought me Okami HD, I never heard about the game before but this is definitely one of the best games I've ever played! 🐺👌🏽🙏
You won't regret playing! Take your time and explore. If you have any questions, you can ask me (as long as they arent about the gameplay... I'll be playing my copy later to replenish my memory)!
Looks just like it does on ps3. I just beat Orochi, game is much longer than I was expecting.
You're a bit over 1/3 through the game I'd say.
Sure is. If the game had ended at that point my first time I'd have been satisfied, but it just kept going and going.
Tremendouz This, after that is just epic battles after epic battles.
I remember when I beat orochi and I thought it was over too. Thankfully I was completely wrong
Joseph Honora yeah, such a great feeling to realize there is much more of this world out there at that point
Was replaying this on PS2 again last year. Its got a few slow spots but overall its fantastic definitely up there with the classics also love how it pulls so heavily from Japanese mythology and blends all these tales and themes together in its world in such an organic fashion.

I absolutely love this game. It is unique and explores (loosely) some Shinto mythology, not something we see a lot of in games. Not to mention the game is just so damn pretty.
This is a really good game. The new HD versions are gorgeous, though I really prefer the gameplay with the Wii’s nunchuck.
its fucking okami. ofcourse its a buy! the last epic game capcom released!
I miss Clover Studio :(
Capcom have released many great games since then. Not excusing any of their bad stuff (and there's a lot) but saying Okami is their last "epic" game is definitely a stretch
You know nothing about Street Fighter 4, Monster Hunter Tri, 3U, 4 and generations, Megaman ZX and ZX advent, the starforce trilogy and DMC 4 then
ya
Dragon's Dogma was surprisingly good too if you're into RPGs.
By the way, for the timed brush stroke sections, you can hold down x to move the brush a lot faster across the canvas, and you can hold down x and square at the same time to paint faster.
Okami is one of my favorite games ever. I'm buying it tomorrow.
enjoy
Might have to buy this again for the fourth time. Amazing game.
Cheers , great review as always , have a great Xmas mate , I love the podcasts , use them on my long drives in Australia , happy to be someone who donates to your work , thanks again

I still trust to modding community to fix the 30fps issue. Nevertheless, can't wait to beat this game again, now on my PC instead of my PS2. It's a timeless classic that everyone should try.
Yeah I really hope someone can unlock the framerate without many issues
Rakka
People just don't get some games don't look right at 60 fps.
My favorite game of all time. To anyone considering it, do yourself a favor and play this game, you won't regret it!
The soundtrack of this game is godlike ... (pun intended)
Nice review. Gonna pick this up for my winter break gaming time !
thanks!
I remember hearing about some porting weirdness during the development of the wii version because Clover made quite a few "WHO DOES THAT!?" decisions for this game like having a stupidly high native resolution for a ps2 game or skipping textures entirely and putting all those designs on the model itself. I wouldn't be surprised if forcing 60fps on higher end platforms would end up with the entire game running on fast forward.
Got the Platinum on PS3 like two weeks before this was announced. Still buying because it's at such a great price, and it's an amazing game that I can get another Platinum on.
I have OkamiDen on the DS (the sequel to Okami) and it is great and beautifull game. I never got the original Okami so I plan to get this masterpiece.
You should Okamiden is a good game but I prefer this one, have some problem but overall is a great game
Definitely an amazing and unique game. Glad it is getting preserved on more platforms. I still own it on my PS3, it probably doesn't carry over to my PS4.
Perhaps this is a sign they're going to bring Ammy back to MvC:I?
I remember reading that the PS3 version of the game actually was running in 4K but was downscaled because the PS3 can't display 4K resolutions.
resistance1207 Okami HD is Xbox One X enhanced also.
I liked the giberish talk back in 2006, and im liking it right now too, it was pretty unique. I understand how it would be just annoying for others tho...
I think it works for this game, ithink was a good decision.
I really wanted to play this game when it came out, but I didn't own a console. Time to try it on the PC, looking forward to it!
Omg this was one of my favorite games on ps2.
So glad they re released it
This game is charming and witty, yet still serious and heart wrenching when it needs to be. The art direction and soundtrack are beautiful. For a fairly linear game, I found the story to be incredibly entrancing and interesting with a good number of turns (you know which turn I'm talking about specifically-- she busty ;)). Long story short, this game is a must play. It is excellent. One of the best games I've ever played. It's also one of the only games I can come back and sincerely enjoy after playing it through like 12 times.
I've played this game on PS2.I really enjoyed this game, loved the soundtrack, especially that "A Great Spirit Lies in Wait" theme.
If you haven't played this game I strongly suggest you do so.
ACG you've nailed it again, you review is exactly how I feel about this game, thumbs up!
great review. Loved that game on PS2 back then
I have this game on PS2, maybe its time for an upgrade 🤔
A really good review...and now I will watch some other reviews...Because just 2 hours until it will be released *_* Im super hyped to play this masterpiece again!
All that I needed to know to sell me on this game is that YOU GET TO PLAY AS A DOGE DEITY.
this game is the best game of all time, and one of the most underrated. Its sequel is even more so underrated
What's a doge?
I play a little of the sequel was good but inferior compareto this one, I don't know I prefer the gameplay on this one, here I think is perfect there are some sidequest and thing of the sort that I don't like, (mainly the digging game) but for the most part I did have a blast.
Okami means wolf in Japanese. It's a wolf.
I highly recommend this game, it's still a beautiful and engaging game 11 years after it's original release and well worth the money.
It's great for those of us who don't have a Nintendo system and are yearning to play a Zelda like game. A most definite buy and one of the best games that hardly anyone has played.
ACG YOUR ALWAYS ON POINT I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT THIS ON PS4
Does the game have the option of muting the gibberish like vocals? I'm not a fan of that
Shaunak Deshpande you can ease yourself with fast forwarding the text, if there's no option available. This is on the ps3 version, atleast:
square -> fast forward without skipping the dialogue.
triangle -> fast forward and continues to the next dialogue.
you don't need to mash that confirm button.
Beautiful game with just enough of a challenge to entertain you without it getting frustrating. This game always felt relaxing and peaceful to play. One of my favorite RPGs that I'll definitely pick up and play again
can't wait for the switch version 🙌
I own this on the PS3, but never got around to playing it, so I ordered this for the ps4 this time around and am getting ready to enjoy this
Just finished replaying, after this review reminded me this remake was a thing. Gorgeous game, and gorgeous channel.
Thanks for great review, ACG. Okami is still to this day my favourite game and I can't wait to play through it again. I was also curious to know if you were planning on reviewing that Jak Collection that came out recently at all?
I loved the game on PS2 an PS3 - my one, and only gripe, and it's kind of a big one is the unskippable, LONG AS FUCKING BALLS dialogues. They drag on forever, and in this game you can't even speed them up. It's painful and does detract, however slightly from an otherwise outstanding experience. This game was a dud, an utter inexplicable failure when it came out even though the reviews across the board were stellar and to see it getting love two console generations later, make me smile. If you've never played it, pick it up, it's so worth it. Looks gorgeous, stunning, and the game play is fun. Also, it's a long game. I beat it, then realized that was just the first adventure, there's a whole second adventure. If you're on the fence this is a must buy for anyone who loves, or even likes video games.
I watched a bit of this when it wasn't on PC and was super intrigued by it. So glad my boy Karak is on the case, now I know it's worth buying.
I think this is one of those games that I'll always buy, play and enjoy every time it's released... be it on PS2, PS3, now PS4 and prolly PS5.
Easily one of the best games of all-time. Unless you play the Wii version, lol.
Happy Holidays ACG! Half the time I know I’m going to buy these games anyway, but I always enjoy hearing your opinion.
I bought this game when it came out and didn't know a thing about it, it is still one of my favorite games of all time to this day lol, I might re-buy this version just to revisit it one last time. Great reviews as always Karak, best reviewer of all time, not even joking.
I don't know if the comment section is the right place for this but you should take a look and a new platformer called Phantom Jump. It is the #1 new release in platforming on Steam.
Just bought it it's downloading... I'll start tonight I'm looking forward to it as it's new to me!
Your reviews are always enjoyable regardless if I buy the game or not. I'm going to try this on the PC because it looks so different than what I usually buy and play. It's cheap so I'll give it a try. As always, thanks.
thanks
Bought this for Xbox One X and it looks incredible in 4K. Got it for $17 with Gamer’s Club Unlocked From Best Buy; that’s a flat out steal.
Don’t pass up this game! It still holds up even today. It’s a classic as far as I’m concerned. It has both quality and content, and that’s rare these days.
Everyone talks about how good it was on PS2....but it was even better on the Wii. The paintbrush mechanic is absolutely perfect with it. I'm honestly kind of disappointed there's no way for me to play Okami HD with similar motion controls because that was the best and most intuitive way to play it.
If you have a PS3, you can get the HD version for it and that version features PS Move Controller support, similar to the Wii's motion controls. That HD version looks just as good as this one and plays just as smooth, plus it's a bit cheaper...
I was just thinking yesterday that this game needs an HD remake badly, and today this was the first thing that popped up for me on the Steam front page! :D
Acg you're the God of the reviewers! The only one I really trust! Thank you so much for your work. Are you considering also the possibility of reviewing films? Happy Christmas from Italy :)
I have purchased and played through this game twice. Once on PS2 and once on PS3 and I will most likely purchase and play through it again now on my PS4!
Thanks Karak for giving my favorite game of all time attention.
Hoo boy this takes me back.
Edit "and an incredible sense of timing for its unlocks".
Yes! I remember being floored after beating the first major boss and realizing the game was far from over. And I had played a bunch of games before so so it wasn't newbie awe.
It's weird now that I think about it I play games longer than it regularly but I don't get that feeling. When did games forget how to pace themselves?
Since after 2006
This should have been on switch.
Doesn't look like something I'd want to play on t.v., but would definitely do so on my switch (never use the damn thing docked anyway)
wow , this was fast. Thank you Karak!
Nice to see it get another port.
Ok so I've bought it on PS4 my first time playing it and I'm absolutely in love with it! In easy 40 odd hours in (I'm taking time talking and making sure I hear all dialogue etc), I just last night thought I completed it I beat Orochi! I waited for credits to roll... They haven't I have more to play!!!😁😁😁👌 I'm not sure how much more but still cool!
the best Zelda not Zelda game
Indeed. Out of all the Zelda clones released, this one is the best.
It's a runner for best zelda game in my books as well
RandomCommenterful Pixel Heroes on PS3 says Hello also Ys 8.
i've never heard it called that before and it fits soooo well
Ezra Laguna Zelda-like
Ohh I only played a bit on the PS2, gonna definitely pick this up on Steam
I had some real struggles figuring out where to go the first time around but I'm so glad I stick with it. No other game gave me quite the same feelings.
So happy see your channel growing
thanks
ACG the most reliable and informative reviews on the whole internet, hope your channel keep growing and growing
Hahaha "Like Timothy Leary crawled inside of Bob Ross' brain and had some kind of fever dream"
Great line man. Subscribed, thanks for the quality content
I'm beyond excited to pick this up for the Switch!
