Okami HD Reviews
Okami on the Nintendo Switch is straight up fantastic. Whether you’ve played it numerous times before or wanting to jump into it for the first time, the Nintendo Switch offers the definitive experience when it comes to the feel of the gameplay thanks to how accurately the Joy-Cons are able to pick up and display your brush strokes on the world. Fans of the action adventure genre will thoroughly enjoy this adventure through Nippon playing as Amaterasu. The story is long and does have some pacing issues but is well worth the payoff when you finally hit those closing credits.
Okami HD offers one of the most unique experiences available in gaming, with gorgeous stylized visuals backed up by addicting and snappy gameplay. It is an absolute joy to play.
Okami is a massive and remarkable game and is on the short list of my favorite games of all time.
Age has treated Okami HD well. Even if it didn't come with the resolution boost, it would still be beautiful thanks to the art style alone, and the fact that the game is now on various platforms simultaneously helps greatly. Even with the game's slow moments, the overall gameplay length feels worthwhile, and the mechanics make everything feel tight. As it stands now, Okami HD is really the definitive version of a classic and well worth checking out, especially if you've never played the previous iterations. Let's hope this finally gives Capcom a reason to bring a sequel and not another re-re-re-release in the future.
In Okami HD, we have one of the best and most beautiful games of the sixth console generation, and the great thing about it is that in both of these aspects it has passed the test of time.

Okami is a truly beautiful game and it's in its best possible form with this absolutely stunning 4K remaster. Okami HD is something truly special; the sort of game that is still remembered fondly years later by those who play it, and wonderful in every aspect. While remasters often get a bad rap, classics like this deserve the chance to get more sales - especially if it increases the chance of a sequel - not to mention more players get to experience an amazing and memorable adventure. Combine this quality with the low asking price here and this is a no-brainer. Buy this game. Love this game.
While the audio visual overhaul is definitely welcome, it really is a shame that some of the aspects of the game did not receive any modernization, because for as unique and engaging as Okami still is, it often feels like a game trapped in the past, preventing it from being as good as it could be. Ultimately it's worth the ride, especially if you've passed on previous chances to play it.
Okami is as polished as a Zelda-like experience as they come and the Switch port is close to its best realization. If you've played it through before, there's nothing new here for you other than the soft warmness of a pleasant visual presentation and a smartly made adventure that stands up to the test of time. Okami HD is wonderful.
Ōkami is to video games what something like Spirited Away is to film; it's not only beautiful and powerful, but it speaks to the very core of the Japanese soul, and because of that it's hugely educational to anyone that has an interest in the country and its culture.
All in all, Okami HD on the Switch is a fantastic version of a fantastic game.
Marking its first outing on a handheld device, Okami HD retains all of the elegance and charisma from even its non-HD days, packing it all into an epic adventure with a budget price and intuitive control inputs. There is a degree of repetition involved with certain battles and events, but even this takes little away from the tale that unfolds.
OKAMI remains fresh after all these years because of its indirect relation with art. We never got the chance to meet the developers and neither did day, but we are connected via the invisible magical line of art.

Ōkami is one of the highest expressions of a video game as art, further blurring the lines between the two. It's not just a delightful game, it's also a historically important one, and everyone owes it to themselves to experience Ōkami, either again or for the first time.
Okami HD might still have some of its original niggling annoyances, but in a way, it wears these on its sleeve.
Okami HD has proven to be a worthy port of this beloved classic with crisp and clear visuals backed by solid performance. It is an experience that shouldn't be missed especially if you have never played the original game.
Even after more than a decade after its release, this is still a charming and unique in its look, setting, characters and gameplay, and a rewarding experience for those willing to invest the time.

Okami is one of those games that prove video games are art. The game is incredibly beautiful. The gameplay and especially the paintbrush mechanic is so unique and is not seen in almost any other game. Okami is a masterpiece and the release of the HD version of the game is a very good opportunity for those who haven’t played the original game to experience this piece of art.

Okami is one of the best classics from the PS2 days and a highly recommended title for PS4 owners that have never played it before. The game requires some patience from the player, however, it is an amazing adventure throughout feudal Japan even for today standards.
