Okami


2006, Age 24

This is one of the most solid action adventure games I have ever played. Its theming is so very consistent: art style, music, story, character development…everything serves the narrative and as a result makes the game a very immersive experience.

The gameplay mechanic of the Celestial Brush, while quite new and different, was completely natural in the context of the game. It really made you feel as though you had a direct connection with the game world, even if it was through accidentally chopping down a tree in the background when you were trying to draw a slash through an enemy.
