Okami HD Reviews
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.
It might be hard to believe that after over a decade, Okami is full of ideas that are unrivaled. And the years passing by just show its endless quality. Okami is such a unique experience that can be one of the best games anyone has ever played

I’m gonna be honest with you. I did go a little ham on this review and I don’t really remember if I have to mention anything else, but I am pretty sure I covered the main aspects that I had to so take my word for it and go buy the game … it’s a great game, I have nothing to complain about. It’s engaging, immersive, dynamic, unique – not only in mechanics but the sumi-e art style as well, has over 120 pieces of music, that you never get bored of, a lot of character development and world-building … I am obviously gonna give Okami a 10/10, no regrets, go buy the game.
There's a lot of content in Okami HD. Unfortunately, interacting with the wealth of characters, locations, and collectibles becomes more of a chore when the story and action is so repetitive. Despite the different coat of paint, each new encounter felt like the last. The colors began to fade around the halfway point, and the game just kept painting without adding anything new to the page.
If you're looking for deep combat and puzzles in a Zelda style, you'll have to look elsewhere, but for anyone else, Okami offers a rich world that will undoubtedly leave you happy to have been in.
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 HD is a beautiful adventure that deserves way more attention than what it's probably going to get. If you like The Legend of Zelda series or one of a kind games, you owe yourself to play this.

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.

If you never played Okami, or are looking to replay this classic, this HD rerelease offers a grand experience for the PC.
Even though there aren't too many new features to justice this re-release, Ammy's quest to defeat Orochi and cleanse the world of corruption is still every bit as compelling as it was a decade ago, and to those unfamiliar, this is the perfect opportunity to get acquainted with the most adorable wolf goddess you've never heard of. So how about that sequel, eh, Capcom?
The definitive version of a classic title that belongs in everyone's library.
Okami HD is just as good now as it was when it launched in 2006, but now in beautiful 4K. There's no excuse not to own this game in some fashion now.
Overall, this is a classic worthy to be remastered once again. The additional features like the 4K resolution and the port to the platforms make the game much more promising.
Okami is still as beautiful and enjoyable as it was more than a decade ago, and that is an incredible achievement in and of itself.
Ōkami HD serves as proof that even among today's trends, progression in an open-world game such as this one can be meaningful. The newly improved 4K resolution is just an added bonus that further demonstrates the game's visual style will never get old, regardless of its obviously dated textures. In my opinion, it's a near-perfect game, and one you should definitely experience if you haven't already. It's also one well worth revisiting, even if it'll be your fifth time. The latest release of Ōkami HD might not provide much more for people who've played the remaster already, but when it's priced so cheaply, it's not much of an asking price.
Okami HD is a massive game and for £15.99 it swings the score right up there into the high brackets – and if like me you’ve never played it but always fancied giving it a go, now is your chance to let Okami shine.
A great game which, despite the age, still is ingenious, unforgettable and often spectacular.

All said and done, Okami HD is a competent remaster of a beloved classic. Hopefully we'll see Capcom revisit some of its other PS2 and GameCube era output like Viewtiful Joe and Godhand. Till then, Okami HD is well worth checking out.
Okami is a game that doesn't get the love it deserves. Hopefully, with this beautiful HD rerelease, more fans will come to enjoy the simple pleasures of being a Sun God wolf with a magic paintbrush.
Okami HD is a good action game, but it is a better game about how a dog can make a life better.
