Okami HD - PlayStation 4

An absolute masterpiece of a game. I can still remember the first time I played it on Playstation 2 and being mesmerized by the mystic art style, enthralling story and flowing gameplay. Playing it gives a nostalgia that just plucks my little heartstrings. An excellent example of the many memorable and classic games from the Playstation 2.

You probably don’t need me to tell you how Okami HD turned out, but it’s exactly what you would expect. It’s a beautiful rendition of a classic game, now available on the current gaming platforms. Well, except for mysteriously missing on the Switch. I find this an odd exception since the game was ported to the Wii and even got a DS sequel called Okamiden, so the series has been on Nintendo platforms before. Okami HD would truly be at home on the Switch right next to the other consoles, but at least we have access to this game in HD and it’s definitely worth picking up. And that’s my only critique of this port, being that it was omitted from the Switch lineup. I guess Capcom hates money!

I missed this game the first time it came out, but after hearing so many recommendations and seeing it was just remastered, I finally decided to give it a chance, and so far it's a great game. The art style is very intriguing, the gameplay is fun and the story is interesting.

Okami has been released and ported a few times alrdy. First released on the PS2 10 years ago, then ported to the Wii w/ motion control, then on PS3 (digitally on the US), and now on PS4 & the Xbox. Great game, but don't have a 4K TV to see the game in 60FPS yet. If you have gotten the game on PS3 before and got the trophies, the PS4 version shares the same list of trophies from several years ago which is a bit disappointing. However the XBox One version would net you new achievements since this is the 1st time on a MS system.
