I played a lot of educational Microsoft PC games as a kid. Then I didn't play anything for over a decade. Then I became a gamer. It's a weird timeline, but a key benefit is having a 30+ year backlog of classics to play. I will never run out of games.

Honestly, I have never given a single iota of a f*** about Pokemon. Until this game. I picked this one up on a whim, because it seemed like something that didn't take much thought, and I wanted to relax. I'm now ~60 hours deep. I get it now. I do feel the need to catch them all. And I will.
My favorite Zelda game so far. :P
Honestly, the only reason I didn't give Okami a full 5 stars is that listening to Issun talk about/to women is a PAINFUL level of cringe. The final scene between Ammy and Issun would have had me in tears had I not been so over listening to Issun talk about women's boobs. I vote for a new remaster that retcons basically all of his dialogue or like...lets Amaterasu bite him whenever he does it? Idk. As a woman, I hated it, and that was a bummer, because those lines aside, I think this might be a perfect game. I found the exploration satisfying, the combat intuitive, and the art direction absolutely breathtaking.

This game isn't perfect, but by the end I loved it. I encountered some kind of hilarious and at times frustrating glitches, but ultimately, I found the story simple, yet beautiful, and the gameplay mechanics were unique, satisfying, and aided the storytelling, which is something that particularly impressed me.
The idea that this has been made available as a multiplayer game makes absolutely no sense to me, and entirely undercuts what makes this game challenging and emotionally poignant as a single player.
