Okami HD Reviews
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.
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 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.

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.
The definitive version of a classic title that belongs in everyone's library.
Overall, Okami HD is an essential purchase if you have never played the game before.
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.

Okami HD is essential, especially if you've never been lucky enough to play Clover's 2006 classic before. And even if you have, you owe it to yourself to play it and love it all over again. It's utterly sublime.
Okami, now on its seventh platform, remains unaffected by the ravages of time. The convergence of Japanese folklore and a Sumi-e aesthetic over the blueprint of The Legend of Zelda created a benign opus that, eleven years later, remains unchallenged and unequaled by any scale of competition. Okami, even with its pronounced vulnerabilities, is a singular creation and merits constant preservation. [OpenCritic note: Eric Layman separately reviewed the PC (9), PS4 (9), and Switch (8) versions. Their scores have been averaged.]
Okami is beautiful to witness and plays like a true classic.
Okami HD ,blending classic elements of its kind belonging to others fresher and more innovative, undoubtedly offers a successful and fully functional mix. The frame of the whole is obviously the technical and above all stylistic sector of the game, which raise the title to levels never seen before. Narrowing such a work in the circle of "video games" would be somewhat reductive, since Okami HD turns out to be a 360° experience, which fully involves the player in all senses, between fascinating scenarios of feudal Japan, oriental melodies and a touch of mystity. Ultimately, we fully recommend the use of the title to all fans of the genre and not.

Okami HD is the definitive version of Okami. It has the best graphics, fewest bugs, and most responsive controls if you are using a DualShock. It runs perfectly in widescreen 1080p without a hitch. At a budget price of $19.99, there's little reason not to pick up this game, especially if you haven't played the original. It's hard to conceive of any better version of Okami, except for perhaps a fourth release that utilizes the tablet of the Wii U for drawing purposes, and since Nintendo doesn't seem to be working on that, Okami HD for the PS3 is where it's at!
Okami HD is a great opportunity for those who never had a chance to try this masterpiece when the original version was released in the last generation to experience the fantastic journey full of traditional Japanese culture in a high graphic performance.

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.
