Despite being an 'old' game, the painting mechanics still feel fresh, Looks colourful and vibrant on screen with the HD makeover, Fighting as a hero wolf is lots of fun, Clever level design,

Little to justify it as a re-re-remake, You might get annoyed by the voices
Minor tweaks and a resolution upgrade wouldn't be enough for a re-release to be recommended, especially if – as in this case – it was the third such re-release. But Okami manages to sidestep that sort of criticism for two very good reasons. One, it's a su...
