About Ōkami

Set sometime in classical Japanese history, Ōkami combines several Japanese mythology and folklore to tell the story of how the land was saved from darkness by the Shinto sun goddess named Amaterasu, who took the form of a white wolf with celestial markings covering its fur. It features a distinct sumi-e-inspired cel-shaded visual style and the Celestial Brush, a gesture-system used to perform miracles.

Une machine reste une machine, un tableau reste un tableau, mais un tableau qu'on rejoue vraiment, ça se discute.

Painting gagne haut la main.

Overrated for its visuals alone. The pacing drags hard past the midpoint and nobody wants to admit it.

Played it slow on purpose, midpoint and all. Never felt like dragging to me.

The art style still holds up completely, no question there, but I think people undersell how SLOW some sections feel once the novelty wears off. It's a beautiful game that occasionally forgets to move forward.

c'est marrant de voir ce fil revenir sans arret sur le rythme alors que le vote lui reste largement favorable

98e avec un tel taux de victoires, ça mérite mieux franchement.
Ghost_Collet

Trois manettes usées à force d'y rejouer. Toujours ce même sentiment au réveil du monde.

RogueLegend

Trois manettes, ça se respecte. 40 heures pour moi et j'y retourne encore chaque année.
