Oct 31, 201288Okami HD is the same magnificent action-adventure game that many gamers enjoyed back in the PS2 days, with minor updates such PS Move compatibility, Trophies and HD graphics.
-
Dec 12, 201290This is Okami's third appearance. It began on Playstation 2, was ported to Wii, and now we have the high-definition version. If you missed out previously, there's really no reason why you couldn't drop $20 on Okami now. It was originally released back in 2006, but it's one of those games that is standing the test of time extremely well.

Feb 6, 201380If you haven’t played Okami before on PS2 or Wii, you’re in for a unique journey unlike anything you experienced in front of your console. [CD-Action 02/2013, p.67]
-
Nov 8, 201282Okami HD is the definitive version of Okami. It has the best graphics, fewest bugs, and most responsive controls if you are using a DualShock. It runs perfectly in widescreen 1080p without a hitch.
-
Nov 16, 201290While Okami may never have sold the numbers it deserved, it was as worthy than, as it is now, of all the praise that was heaped on it. Upgraded visuals, and a stellar $19.99 price point added on to that already complete package makes this the version of Okami to own.
-
Nov 24, 201295Few minor gripes aside, Okami HD is the definitive version of one of the past decade's premier games and absolutely deserves to be played.
-
Nov 10, 201294Okami HD is a great way to own one of the finest from the PS2 era.
-
Oct 30, 2012100Playing Okami HD is a joyous experience, but it is sad to see that after six years it is still one of the best examples of its genre. Okami HD is fantastic, and hopefully this re-release will inspire a new generation of game designers to play, enjoy and then scoff, "Ha, I bet I could do better".
-
Oct 31, 201290It's a classic game and an essential part of any collection, especially in this flawless, gorgeous reissue.
-
Nov 2, 201290Let us hope that the next generation of consoles will bring back games enchanting and inventive like this one, marrying the joy of being different to the tradition of good, sturdy game design. Until that day, buy this one!
-
Oct 30, 201290Okami HD is pure art, and now it's even better with the new, splendid HD graphic.
-
Dec 3, 201290It's often discussed if video games can be an art form, and there are a lot of arguments both for and against. Okami HD is a strong argument that games at least have come a long way by giving a simply magical experience in every way.
-
Nov 13, 201290Okami HD is a masterpiece recommended to anyone who has not already played it on PS2 or Wii.
-
Nov 25, 201291Still haven't played it? Well you should now! Okami has now arrived in HD on PS3!
-
Dec 18, 201292Even more potent today than it was in 2006, Okami is Zelda's one and only match. [Jan 2013, p.81]
-
Nov 10, 2012100Overall, Ōkami HD is an experience that should not be missed. It's stylized graphics and engaging gameplay really show that this game was ahead of its time with its initial release. Old and new players alike owe it to themselves to download it and either relive the adventure, or experience it for the first time. With its updated visuals and awesome gameplay, this is one that should not be missed.
-
Jan 3, 201390The HD-ification of Okami is a stunning success. The improved visuals alone make the cheap price of admission worth it. And if you missed this game in 2006, now's the perfect time to make up for it.
-
Jan 8, 201390You could just plow through the story and ignore a lot of the side stuff and be completely happy. In fact, you'll probably get a good 20 plus hours out of that. However, if you choose to feed all the animals, collect all the treasures, complete the bestiary and find all the beads you'll find it very rewarding without being too tedious.
-
Nov 12, 201290Capcom broke out their calligraphy brush and created a masterpiece that, while shows some signs of aging, remains an awe-inspiring experience like no other.
-
Oct 30, 201294Okami is one of the finest games to come out of Japan in the last decade, and Okami HD is absolutely the best way to experience this epic adventure.
-
Nov 12, 201295With its new face, Okami HD has never been so close to perfection, deserving its legendary status thanks to its beautiful visuals and its amazing soundtrack. Coming back from the dead, Cover Studio's title remains thrilling, offering a good opportunity to discover Amaterasu's adventures on PS3, especially for players that never had the chance to buy it the first time.
-
Nov 19, 201290Okami HD is a great example of what games can accomplish outside the realm of guns and gore, and I love it for that.
-
Nov 2, 201291Virtual & timeless beauty. That's what Clover Studios managed to bring the world six years ago. Okami not only has aged well in its core mechanics, it continues to be the masterpiece it was, and proof that a game can touch us like the music or the movies, directly to our hearts and souls. Amaterasu's epic journey is a must-have in this generation of games that look so cloned each other, that makes even more unique this unique tale of freedom, love and justice that will never look so better than now in High Definition.
-
Oct 31, 201290The definitive version of one of the most beautiful video games ever created, not to mention the best Zelda game that never was.
-
Nov 5, 201290Okami HD is an extraordinary, artistic and epic game that will absorb you entirely.
-
Oct 30, 201289Okami is beautiful to witness and plays like a true classic.
-
Dec 4, 201293It still plays like a Japanese fairy tale infused with intelligent Zelda-like gameplay and a riveting plot. It's a history lesson about Japanese culture and mythology. It has a fantastic soundtrack. It's Okami. It's in HD. Buy it. Now. [December 2012, p.94]
-
Feb 21, 201391Okami HD is the definite version of the classic adventure. It is an amazing feat for a six year old game to look better than most of its recent rivals. A true classic, filled with emotion, adventure and laughter. [Feb 2013]
-
Nov 30, 201290The version that both fans and newcomers must own. [Issue#225, p.81]
-
Nov 12, 201285The true vision of the creators has seemingly been realized, in glorious 1080p high definition.
-
Nov 28, 201280The 2008 original was dubbed 'the PlayStation's Zelda' and received wide critical acclaim. Despite that, Okami was criminally underplayed and its shallow sales triggered the collapse of a great developer. It'd be an absolute sin to see that history repeated here. So buy this classic. Wolf it down. [Christmas 2012, p.74]
-
Nov 2, 201280While the game's temple design is never quite as consistently expansive or ambitious as a Legend Of Zelda, Okami's art, sturdy combat and inventive noodle-teasers have aged as gracefully as Jeff Bridges distinguished chin fur.
-
Nov 20, 201290Despite these flaws, however, Okami is still one of our favorite games and more than worth a meager 20 bucks. [Holiday 2012, p.82]
-
Dec 23, 201287Unique and even more compelling with Move, this is a joyous excuse to lose yourself in a true PlayStation classic. [Jan 2013, p.104]
-
Nov 19, 201293An example of innovative interactive mastery.
-
Nov 10, 201280Okami HD is a timeless classic, full of charm, subtle ingenuity, and beauty, remade in stunning HD, yet sadly it's embellished with some graphical issues. It's a must-have for first-time buyers, but offers little improvement for those who have already enjoyed all 40+ hours of the game on other platforms.
-
Nov 1, 201290One of the best adventure for Wii and Ps2, now in a glorious HD version. A must have.
-
Oct 30, 201290An unforgettable, beautiful experience.
-
Mar 6, 201380Still, for every demon slain, more beauty is restored to the land, as gorgeously rendered-flowers and wildlife spring up from the scenes of battle. And the wildlife that roams Nippon not to be feared, but rather fed, in sickeningly cute cutscenes.
-
Nov 19, 201295What's really amazing about Okami is that it is just as good of a game today as it was six years ago when it was first released. An HD release that barely had to touch a thing to still be one of the best games available today.
-
Oct 30, 201292The best choice if you want to enjoy this adventure. It's the very same game, but making the most of it. Adapted to the DualShock 3 and PlayStation Move controllers, Okami is still a game we recommend you to (re)discover.
-
Dec 10, 201297At $20, Okami HD is one of the greatest gaming values of 2012, representing the greatest and largest Zelda-like adventure to not come from Nintendo. It's been updated beautifully and features strong, complementary use of the Move technology.
-
Nov 10, 201294If you have played Okami before, or if you are interested in it now that the remake is here, there is no doubt in my mind, you really need to pick this game up. I usually don't say this, but this is more of an experience than it is a game. The story is charming, the visuals are beautiful, and the presentation makes me smile from ear to ear. This is one of the better HD upgrades and well worth the time and money. I can not suggest Okami enough.
