Nov 7, 2011Yes, it's a kids game at the core. So what? We could all stand to relax more, and Okabu provides a classy and gorgeous way to do just that. There is no better game to play with a young child than this one.
-
Oct 18, 2011For parents who are looking for a wholesome game to play with their children, Okabu is a no-brainer. Even without a kid for a sidekick, Okabu's light-hearted romp is worth a look for gamers wanting a break from more serious and demanding titles.

Nov 9, 2011This isn't a game for me, nor is it a game for most kids I think, but it isn't hard to see what Sony saw in Okabu. As a game, it's not much fun, and as an aesthetic piece of entertainment, it's neither here nor there. However, it continues a proud, understated tradition for the PSN: make non-violent games that champion color, intelligence, and goodwill amidst the sea of edgy-ness that our beloved medium is wont to overproduce. Now if only the game design had matched the script, we'd have another Flower on our hands.

Oct 18, 2011The fact that Okabu is the work of just five people is remarkable: this is an ambitious undertaking for such a small team, but there's no denying that on occasion here it feels that Hand Circus has bitten off more than it can chew.
-
Oct 18, 2011Okabu's beautiful art and amazing music can't save it from mediocrity. If the level design were more creative, the puzzles or tasks a bit less obvious, and the co-op different from the campaign it might have been something truly special. Sadly, though, Okabu is beautiful but totally superficial.
-
Oct 21, 2011A game with a message doesn't have to be boring, but this one doesn't work very hard to break free from the stereotype. Okabu is just a little too generic to be worth your time, which is a shame, considering I would have liked to play a fun game about saving the planet.
-
Oct 27, 2011At no point should game feel like a chore, and unfortunately, that's exactly what Okabu is. I don't think I have ever played a game that was so utterly unenjoyable from start to finish. If the tedious gameplay doesn't get to you then the glitches and performance issues will. And while there is a lot of content to be found in Okabu, it doesn't really matter when the game itself just isn't any fun.
