Ōkami (2006)

okami è un gioco molto particolare: molto simile a Zelda, dal quale ne trae ispirazione, accompagneremo la dea Amaterasu e il suo compagno pittore nelle lande di Nippon (il giappone), in una trama che si basa moltissimo sul folklore giapponese. Musiche e stile grafico sono ineccepibili, e ancora oggi non sentono il peso del tempo. Progressione alle volte lenta; pennello non sempre preciso nel disegnare ciò che si vuole, come con le bombe. Gioco molto lungo per essere completato, dal momento che ho impiegato 44 ore! Molti segreti e collezionabili, e sfide anche difficili da vincere. Gioco che mi è piaciuto, anche se ammetto possa non piacere a tutti: bisogna essere amanti del giappone e di un certo modo di giocare, che oggi non esiste più. Voto: 8/10

more like a 3.5 - the game is artistic and vibrant, its story silly while still giving good reason to move from point a to b. when everything is moving fluidly the game is thrilling and fun, but unfortunately the camera and controls are a main point of contention and frustration. and the choice to fill the game with chirpy robot voices, many of which can't be sped through, is tragic.

Hace tiempo se me ardieron muchísimo por decir que esta gen no era de las mejores y me reafirmo, y lo mantengo. Okami hace todo bien,variedad de enemigos, bso preciosa,largo, variedad de situaciones, desarrollo de personajes, narrativa bien hecha. Obra maestra Es más, le planto un 10+ indicando que esta fuera de valoración comparándolo con estos otros juegos que he ido pasando. Entra en mi top 10 personal al puesto número 3. Una obra de arte en movimiento en todo su conjunto

Para mí, Okami es uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado. Tiene un diseño artístico precioso y una pareja de personajes al nivel de Joel y Ellie. La evolución de éstos hace que quieras seguir jugando para tener más poderes. La música de Masami Ueda es épica sobre todo la del boss final. En resumen 5 estrellas merecidísimas y un juego que todo el mundo debe jugar.

Played a bit of this on the PS2, then abandoned it until the HD version. I think this game is gorgeous and it explores some interesting mechanics. But I didn't always enjoy playing it. Part of the problem is that I'm just not good at action games. I'm also not good at drawing. But I did think the game went on a bit too long, as well. Still, I managed to get through the whole game, and I felt like it was a good experience overall. I'm glad I decided to give the game a second chance.

I started this and the intro seemed overly long and some of the characters very over the top. The "fake" voice acting was kind of grating too. I keep seeing rave reviews for it though and confirmed that the voicing is not a glitch or anything. So I still expect to pick this up again in the next few years with the kids.

Wow is Okami a long game! I really enjoyed my playthrough. The Zelda comparisons are quite apt as the progression feels very similar, complete with random bosses that feel like they may be the end boss but are actually the midpoint of the game. All told, I spent just over 50 hours playing and while I was close to doing everything in the game, I didn't quite get there. I really like the way you level Ammy up by quantifiable god points as opposed to traditional experience. It makes it so you don't feel like you should be grinding (unless you are doing it for currency).

Honestly, the one thing I found a bit lacking in this game is it was way too easy. I never died during my playthrough. In fact, I was never really close. I didn't even use healing items until the end boss. That could be because I spent a lot of time doing the side quests. I loved finding animals to feed, doing the hunts, and doing anything else that people asked so I could level up. It made it so playing the game was constantly fun. I even neglected to use the fast travel system just in case I stumbled on a side quest I hadn't done yet.

Okami is definitely worth playing for anyone who is a fan of Zelda-style action adventure games. I played the HD version on the PS3 and it was beautiful. That is definitely the version I would recommend to anyone!
