Amaterasu...origin of all that is good, and mother to us all🗣🔥

I remember watching a playthrough of this game then later finally being able to play it for the first time. The journey was so heartwarming yet sad, i really can't wait for the sequel to come out😖🙏

I think everyone should experience this masterpiece at least once🙌

The PlayStation 2 classic, Ōkami released 20 years ago today.

Set in a fictional version of classical Japan, Ōkami combines Japanese mythology and folklore to tell the story of how the land was saved from darkness by the Shinto sun goddess Amaterasu, who took the form of a white wolf. It features a sumi-e-inspired cel-shaded visual style and the Celestial Brush, a gesture-system to perform miracles.

The game was originally planned to use a much more traditional realistic rendering, but the PlayStation 2 couldn’t process it. Clover Studio switched to a cel-shaded style to reduce the processing, which led to the Celestial Brush concept. The gameplay is modeled on The Legend of Zelda, one of director Hideki Kamiya's favorite series.
