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.

J'aime l'idée mais pas le jeu
The writing, art direction, and music all come together to create one of the most unique experiences of any game I've ever played.
Okami is what I would call a Vibes game. It just has such a unique and inviting world that I can't help but just wanna run around and enjoy the atmosphere as much as possible. One of my all time favorites and a game I'll fondly remember for years to come.

Truly one of The Games Of All Time, in my opinion.
The music and art are gorgeous, first off. And it's got such a massive world that feels so alive, with tons of characters to talk to and side quests to do that really don't touch the main plot at all but just help flesh out the game. Everywhere you go, you can make friends and rivals. The brush powers cover such an amazing range, between fast travel, beautifying the environment, making NPCs pet you, and opening secret rooms. It's a great game to just run around and explore, and there's always more to do.
The boss fights (and all the fights, honestly) are never what I'd call difficult, but they're always enjoyable. The Orochi fights in particular are a blast, because they give you an excuse to use all of your different powers. The invincibility mode you can unlock is also a plus, because it allowed my little brother to enjoy the game as much as I did, without having to worry about his health or ink.
It's also absolutely hilarious - you power up by paying child support to your wayward godly children, there's a side quest where you find various orbs for a bear to sleep balanced atop, everyone mistakes you for a doggie, and you can learn to attack demons with your, uh, bodily excrement.
This is definitely one of the games I go back and play whenever I want to unwind and de-stress.

Da giocare, o quantomeno provare. Poi posso capire che non sia per tutti, ma è uno dei tanti altri giochi PS2 che avrebbe meritato più notorietà.
So, when you were young online, did you ever make a big deal about performatively hating some piece of media? A game, a movie, the very concept of anime, whatever it is. Have you ever gotten a really heartfelt handmade birthday present from someone you really cared about featuring that thing you performatively hated that just so happens to mean a lot to them, and just sat there trying to reconcile your divergent lives long enough for everyone to notice?
It's pretty uncomfortable!
