Okami HD is a very well made new version of a perfect, classic game. It still is a fresh and unique title that now looks even better and is available on different types of hardware. It has some flaws but they pale in comparison with tons of joy brought to you by this live painting.

Overall, Okami HD is an essential purchase if you have never played the game before.
The definitive version of a classic title that belongs in everyone's library.
Like a fine wine, Okami has aged wonderfully, and this HD re-release has found a perfect home on the Nintendo Switch, thanks to stellar motion controls and the ability to play on-the-go.
If you haven't already gathered, Okami HD is an utterly fantastic piece of software, and we feel you'd be doing yourself a disservice to pass on it. For a mere twenty bucks, you can have access to a 40-hour adventure that emulates Zelda wonderfully, adds in plenty of memorable mechanics, features one of the most memorable art styles in gaming, and is completely playable on the go, to boot. Though it may be showing its age a bit visually and its combat is sometimes a little on the easy side, Okami is an important, fun, and notable landmark in gaming history — and one of the easiest recommendations we can make for your Switch library.
Impeccable, great playable switch port of one of the most enchanted fairytales of all times in a unique suibokuga style.

Okami HD is a very welcome return of a classic that has been treated to a remastering which is more than welcome on the Nintendo Switch. Thanks to a marvelous environment that leaves its players in awe and to very well designed gameplay mechanics, Okami HD is certain to appeal to most of the Nintendo Switch players out there, leaving only the feeling that it could have turned out even better.

Having the chance to once again return to Nippon, I can wholeheartedly say that (after eleven years) Okami HD is still a masterpiece, standing the test of time through two generational console jumps. Put frankly, it is a work of art and a prime example of the ingenuity, creativity, and brilliance key development teams brought to their work on the PlayStation 2. Here's hoping that Okami HD receives the sequel it rightfully deserves.
Okami combines typical Zelda gameplay with an extraordinary art style and a world full of interesting mythology.

Okami is one of those games that will always be a delight to play from start to finish everytime it comes up. Even though the only strenght this version has respect from its previous counterparts is its increased resolution, it still offers an incredible story with fantastic gameplay mechanics and gorgeous visuals that are worth to experience. Fans who loved the original game would be amazed to replay it once again and newcomers will understand the reasons why this is considered one of the bests games from all Capcom library.

Minor tweaks and a resolution upgrade wouldn't be enough for a re-release to be recommended, especially if – as in this case – it was the third such re-release. But Okami manages to sidestep that sort of criticism for two very good reasons. One, it's a superb game full of wit and imagination; and two, not that many folk have played it.
Okami has once again proven itself to be a timeless experience, effortlessly transporting the player into its world and delivering visuals that rival even today's most ambitious titles.
It's for this reason that it's not hard to see why the game has amassed a following throughout all these years. A memorable Japanese ethos lives and breathes through Amaterasu and all the characters she encounters on her journey, not to mention the world that bursts to color beneath her paws.
Okami HD was great on the PS3, but is even better on the PS4. This may finally be the definitive version of the game. Motion controls have been dropped, but then again they didn't really feel like they belonged in the first place. Sure, this is essentially the same game for a third packaging, but if you missed the remaster, and especially if you never played the original game, Okami HD cannot come any more highly recommended.
If you never played Okami, or are looking to replay this classic, this HD rerelease offers a grand experience for the PC.
As the interactive medium evolves, the tastes of enthusiasts change. A refined and rare work, but also unfortunate as Okami is, today it can be enjoyed on any platform by a potential audience certainly wider, but also more open to experimentalism. Switch's white page paints itself of the warm colors of Amaterasu's epic, thanks to a technically impeccable conversion aimed at making excellent use of Nintendo console technology, capable of making lustre and justice to the shining gem of Clover Studio and Capcom. Extremely recommended for lovers of the arts and culture of Japan.

Although the new remastered does not wedge for audacity, Okami remains a masterpiece of stainless beauty that few approach but from which no one can ever get away from again. A milestone in the history of gaming, a compelling adventure, visually stunning and full of unique, one-of-a-kind elements. If you are not discouraged by the amount of dialogue, Okami will give you a colorful story made up of epic clashes, prophecies and legends. Be bewitched by its eastern world wrapped in cherry blossoms and help Amaterasu bring the Sun back. You won't regret it. Highly recommended edition for all fans, and absolutely mandatory for anyone who has never played it until now.
