20 Years Later, Okami Still Offers A Distinct Take On Zelda's Formula
Twenty years after its release, Okami continues to stand out for its unique blend of action-adventure gameplay and distinct Japanese folklore-inspired art style. While structurally similar to The Legend of Zelda series with its dungeon-based progression and ability acquisition, Okami's Celestial Brush mechanic and commitment to its artistic vision set it apart. The game's director, Hideki Kamiya, aimed to capture the beauty of the Japanese countryside, resulting in an experience that remains visually striking and thematically rich.
