    Found this game highly overrated.. Couldn't finish it…

      To each their own, I never ended up finishing it back in the day but really enjoyed what I played of it (got distracted by other games lol).

      For $7.50 it's worth a punt.

        Yeah I've put in 40-50 hours and not finished it, the build up to the first big boss which then turned out to not even be the end was impressive.

        Can't imagine how you'd call it overrated it's basically Zelda as a wolf with an art and music style turned up to 11.

          Nowhere near Zelda, I dotn know how anyone can even compare it to Zelda, totally different types of games.

            @Circly: Recent open world Zelda, of course not.

            Other Zelda games before that, yes.

            The dungeons exploring aspect is definitely strong in Okami. Twilight Princess even has woft Link. They are came out in 2006.

            To me Okami still a better game.

              @linhlink: Okami is too frustrating and slow with bad battle mechanics.

              I don't really see how it's that similar to older Zelda games. If you google "okami overrated" there seems to be alot of people that feel the same.

              I was so keen to play the game after all the hype as well.

            @Circly: I didn't neg you, but it is very comparable to Zelda games from the same era.

            Okami was a PS2 game, that's Wind waker era and tipping into twilight princess.

            They very much follow the slow reveal, small to big hero thematic with towns and quests.

            The battle is a bit more intrusive in Okami because it's semi instanced, but this was the Devil May cry era and I enjoyed trying to get high rank in fights once you've found a weapon you like.

    I'm just commenting here to say how excited i am about a real sequel (yes i know okamiden exists).

    Great game. Artstyle has aged well and gameplay is very reminiscent of Zelda from the Ocarina through Skyward Sword era. Runs well on Switch; surprisingly the brush glyphs work fine with sticks.

    Bought the PS3 hd edition like 10 years ago for 5USD, about the same price

  • One of the only games to ever put me to sleep as a teenager but now every game does it because I'm an old man with fatigue

      go to the gym then

      • I second that.

        6 years ago I was wearing jeans size 28-29, but then I had surgeries and covid happened (Melbourne style!) and I had to buy size 32

        but now I went to gym, 6mth later I had to buy size 30 again, and even that starts to get too roomy omg

        and I already gave away all my cool Politix 28-29
        jeans welp

        (profanity) you COVID with a rusty pole

    Fyi I found the Steam port buggy as hell in the past and had to get it refunded. Def stick to playing this one on console for the best experience, or at the very least run it after buying to check that it runs okay during the refund period.
    You used to be able to patch it to run at 60 fps, fix full screen issues, and remove the Steam version's nauseating motion blur, but last I tried in 2021 it was no longer working. Apparently other ports of the game don't have the motion blur that the Steam version does

      Thanks! Have added it to the OP :)

      Lame though on Sony's part requiring a PS Plus subscription for this price, otherwise it's full price.
