This is another chance for one of the most underappreciated adventures to appear on a PlayStation console to gain a new, much deserved, audience. Time has been fairly kind to Okami despite minor gripes. If you've yet to experience the wonderful world of Okami, then this is as good a chance as any.

Okami HD re-enacts on PS4 and Xbox One one of the most courageous and inspired game of the PS2 generation. An adventure that fuses Shinto mythology and and Japanese folklore into a "Zelda" structure, to develop a great painted legend. If the brush-based gameplay has aged very well, others minigames and some camera angles make evident it's a PS2 game. If you never play Okami on previous consoles, you should buy it at once; if you already possess it, it will attract you only if you're a collector.

Overall, Ōkami HD is a great game which is let down but its difficult brush controls. Luckily, that doesn't take away too much from the experience, and anyone can enjoy the title's gorgeous visuals and powerful story. The fact that Ōkami remains this good even after a decade is not only a testament to the artists but also legendary director Hideki Kamiya.

Okami HD is the long overdue remaster of a true masterpiece: it has aged a bit, but it's fascinating and charming like the first day, ten years now. The wonderful artistic vision is truly enhanced by the support to the new resolutions, keeping the experience intact. Okami is one of the most original action adventures ever created, a videogame everyone should play and enjoy.

Okami makes yet another return to modern platforms, now supporting up to 4K resolution, but does little else to justify another purchase for long-time fans

Still one of the most beautiful video games ever created, not to mention the best Zelda game that never was.

Occasionally languid to the point of lethargy, Okami is a gorgeous and unforgettable adventure all the same.

Okami is a great adventure set in japanese folklore, which shows an amazing ukiyo-e graphic style and feels unique in its brush gameplay. 4K resolution for PS4 PRO and Xbox One X is great, but we still miss 60 FPS option.

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.

Okami HD is the best version of one of the very few video games that can be openly called a work of art.

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.

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 HD is the same bold and courageous affair that had critics engaging in a syllabic arms race to fawn over. But be aware of the camera issues and that while the combat and brush system is novel, it is limited and repetitive.

As a result, Okami HD is a fun and visually amazed production to play. If you haven't had the chance to play the game, or if you've already played and are thinking about playing again, I recommend Okami HD.
