A hundred years after the battle, the beast has arisen yet again to cover the world in darkness. A wolf god who goes of the name of Shirunai and his partner Nagi the warrior both battled the beast just to save the village in which they succeeded their mission. Okami tells a story about a village overrun by an evil beast. This is the reason why the visuals in this game are still beautiful even by today’s standards. But what makes Okami unique is its watercolor themed gameplay. It follows a Japanese setting alongside the country’s rich history and mythology. Even though it has many similarities with the Zelda franchise, Okami holds its own unique style when it all comes down to its core gameplay. Okami was known to be a Zelda clone, but instead of playing with a human main protagonist, you instead play as a wolf. Playing this game again after 11 years still brings out the inner child in me. With this improved remastered version, it can now render 4K resolution with the help of the PS4 Pro, Xbox One X, and a high-end PC. This is the second HD remaster for the game as the first one was for the PS3. This review is based on a review copy provided by Capcom.ĭeveloped by Clover Studio and published by Capcom in 2006 exclusively for PS2, the remastered Okami HD for 2017 is also playable on the PC and Xbox One. Not to mention this, for me, is the second-best Zelda-like game next to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for 2017.ĭeveloper: Clover Studios, HexaDrive (PS4, PC, Xbox One ports) Why? Because I hate the fact that it’s not a sequel, yet I love it because even if the game is eleven years old, it can still compete with modern triple-A games that’s just how good Okami is. I am torn between either loving or hating this game.
