OKAMI HD

Most recent negative reviews are about controller issues. Shame. Because people don't bother to find the easy fix.
And the issue is caused by a steam update, not the game.
Update: I made a guide for both fishing and brush (only through settings, wont take a minute)
Fix:
When your controller is plugged in in-game, open steam overlay and go into your controller settings and click edit layout.
FOR BRUSH ACTIONS
From the upper left action set tab, find "Celestial Brush Actions"
Go into the joysticks tab and for the left stick select Move Brush (Sensitive)
And then in order to make it not sensitive, click the gear icon next to the chosen input and then move the horizontal and vertical scaling almost halfway or however sensitive you want it to be.
Your brush will now move as slow as you want it to.
Set the right stick as "camera" if it isn't already.
And as for my review, this is a good video game. Play it.

I've played it when it first came out, and I've bought it again and again over the years. This is my favorite game that I've ever played and I'd sacrifice all of you to Orochi for a sequel.

Okami is in the Guinness Book of World Records twice.

"Least commercially successful winner of a Game of the Year award"
"Most critically acclaimed video game starring an animal character"

One of the best games I've ever played and I immediately started it again after beating it to find all the stuff I missed.

It has flaws. Its overly verbose at times. The opening is is 20 minutes of yakking before you're given any sort of control. Sometimes the drawing doesn't come out and you have to try again. If you want to 100% it there are a lot of excessively long & difficult mini-games. None of that comes close to hurting the overall experience.

It is a pretty blatant copycat of the mid 90s to mid 00s Legend of Zelda games. If you never enjoyed any of those games then this probably wont change your mind. If you did ever like those types of games, you might find this to be one of, if not your all time favorite Legend of Zelda game.

Ammy truly is the greatest bitch in video game history!

This is a Zelda game in wolf's clothing. The writing is hilarious and the art style is timeless. If you like Wind Waker or Ocarina of Time, you'll probably like this game.

This was a gem I only heard the name of until a few years back. Eventually, I decided to look it up, as I heard it was unique with the Celestial Brush mechanic. A little while after I finished most of the exposition and tutorial stuff, I really started to get into it. The hazy filter takes getting used to, as well as the way rendering works, but once you can get past those things, as well as the stuff in the beginning (lots of dialogue and tutorials), then the real fun begins. Theres a lot to see and do, and Nippon only gets more beautiful as you progress, dispel darkness and demons, and bring life back to the land.
A long game with a spectacular story and unique mechanics, you play as Okami Amarterasu, the Japanese Sun Goddes who takes on the form a white wolf, in a land plagued by darkness, demons, and nobody who believes in the gods anymore (leaving Okami in a weakened state. Nobody can see her true form). As Okami progresses on her journey to rid the land of darkness and those that dwell in it, she learns 13 key moves which can be used via a mechanic known as “Celestial Brush.” Celestial Brush lets players draw on the current scene using techniques similar to ancient Japanese ink artwork. Using this mechanic, players can interact with the environment and fight enemies in various ways, such as repairing a bridge to continue on, slicing a rock or enemy clean in half, drawing a sun in the sky to immediately make it daytime (or make the day longer), and much, much, more. I’ve never played any Zelda games, but I’ve heard from one or two friends that for those that love TLoZ games, you’re going to get a very similar kick from this game.
I can honestly say that I wish I knew about this game as a kid when it released on Wii, PS2, and PS3 at the time. There’s no doubt in my mind that I would’ve played it over and over again and never got bored.
That all being said, If you’re looking for a game with lots to see and do, a great story, and unique mechanics, look no further than Okami. This game belongs on a podium alongside other timeless masterpieces in gaming. An absolute must-play.

I DO NOT recommend buying this game through Steam at this point in time. I've never left a review on Okami before because so much praise has already been said about this beautiful game (and rightly so) that I didn't feel I had anything of worth to add. Unfortunately, recent updates have broken it and it can no longer be played with a controller, as some people in the reviews have already pointed out. I've tried some of the "fixes" already and they haven't worked for me. But seriously, we're not all tech heads who can figure this stuff out; some of us want to just be able to play the game without having to slog through clunky workarounds. I just wanted to inform people that if you're thinking about buying it right now, and you don't like to use keyboard controls, then you should wait.

I first played this game in 2006, and have since re-played it multiple times, across different platforms (PS2, PS4, and now, PC). Incredibly pleased with how well it runs on PC, extremely smooth and with excellent load times, not to mention the impeccable graphics. This game has always been beautiful, but now? It truly looks divine. Not a huge fan of the mouse and keyboard implementation, but that might be due to the fact I'm so used to playing it with a controller, despite typically preferring m&k. This version supports both, so go with whatever you're more comfortable with.
The story and characters are engaging, exploration is fun and while some of the mini games can get a bit tedious, they are by far more palatable than I've experienced in other games. And the music is some of the best I've ever heard, seriously I've been in-love with the ost since I heard it back in '06 (used to leave the game running on the tv just to listen, thankfully now I have my own copy of the ost lol) and it never gets old. The one downside to the audio is likely to be the voices; instead of actual voice-over, they opted for an interesting alternative and while it's fine the first time through, on all subsequent play-through's I've had to turn the voices off. Your mileage may vary, though.
This is one of those games that sticks with me, even now, years later. It's a comfort game for sure, but beyond that, it's just a really well-made game with a lot of love and creativity behind it.
