I can never properly review this game because it's so near and dear to me that saying I'm biased towards it would be an understatement.
Despite its flaws, I'd still like to convey that it's a visually stunning masterpiece with an equally memorable soundtrack, cast, and world.
Gameplay is admittedly, very very easy. People hold this game up to other platinum titles, and I think their enjoyment suffers from that.
Ōkami is NOT a game that's going to be hard, or unforgiving, or very complex. But what it IS, is something beautiful, engaging, unique, and very special. It's a relaxing and heart warming experience that I turn to whenever I feel down. Issun makes me laugh, the majestic sounding music and sumi-e (Japanese ink wash painting) aesthetic makes my artist heart bloom, all of this game is simply just unforgettable.
Ōkami is truly something special to me, it's so much more than a video game. Of course, it's not at all perfect, but if you were to ask me about it, my love for this game prevails above all else, like soft rays of sunshine through the clouds.
