Lore Check: Ōkami
One of my favorite games of all time, and, dare I say, one of the best games ever made, Ōkami caught my heart. The entire time I played I was consumed with joy and wonder.
And this is a hard thing for me to admit. My jaded black heart recoils from whimsey and light. But Ōkami? Ōkami made me unreasonably happy.
Because this is awesome:
You are the goddess Amaterasu in wolf form, and you run through a stylized, painted land to restore nature and beauty to a world consumed by darkness.
It’s a long adventure game. You will meet crazy characters with big personalities, and fight gods and demons. You will also use the celestial brush to paint a new reality.
It is available in an HD remaster on Steam, and you can even play in widescreen as well as the original 4:3. Remember kids, it wasn’t that long ago that all games and television were made for tiny square screens. Those were dark times, my friends. But we made it through. Together.
