4/6: Okami HD (Switch)
I’m sure pretty much everyone here knows about Okami, so I’m not really going to explain too much, but I will briefly explain my thoughts on it. This wasn’t the first time that I played Okami, as I had previously played a large chunk of the Wii version, but this was the first time I beat the game. I don’t remember the exact reason why I didn’t beat it on the Wii, but I certainly enjoyed playing the HD version more than the older version. When I first played Okami, I remember loving the graphics, music, and characters (I think I was also fine with the combat), but one of my biggest struggles was drawing anything somewhat accuracy with the Wiimote. I remember especially having trouble with anything that required drawing a circle. With the HD version of Okami, that was a non-issue since I could use a regular controller instead. I imagine some people might find it awkward to draw shapes and lines with a controller, but I found it to be incredibly easy to do.
With that being said, I do have one small complaint. At several points in the game, you are required to do one of two mini-games. One is just fishing, which isn’t too difficult, and the other is this digging game, similar to something like Mr. Driller. The first required digging game isn’t too bad, but some of the others took me an annoyingly long time to figure out. I didn’t really enjoy them and wish I could have just skipped them.
Other than that, I really enjoyed Okami! If you haven’t played it, then I might suggest that you give it a shot
4/8: Katamari Damacy Reroll (Switch)
It’s not often that I replay games that I’ve already beaten as there’s just so many games I want to play, but then Katamari Damacy Reroll came out (which is a remake of Katamari Damacy). Since I hadn’t played the original in a long while, I thought it would be a good time to give it a replay.
Since I beat the original game before I was writing my thoughts on games I’ve played, I don’t know exactly what I thought of the original game. I remember enjoying it, as it was just a simple but whacky and fun game, but I had difficulty with the controls and some tough levels. With Reroll, I still had a lot of fun, but I guess some things were adjusted a bit since I had no problem beating any of the levels. In fact, I beat many of the levels with minutes to spare, which never happened in the original. This might be a downside to some if you like more difficulty in your games, but for me this was a nice change since I prefer Katamari to be more of a chill experience. As an additional bonus, Reroll has gotten a nice HD facelift and looks better than before. With this remake, I think the only complaint I have is that it’s a fairly short game, but I knew that before hand so I don’t really mind much (it’s not a full-priced game anyway).
If you like a wacky, chill game, I’d try Katamari Damacy Reroll out (or the original would be fine too honestly). Just keep in mind that Reroll only has a limited physical run in the States (and limited to Gamestop too booo), so if that’s important to you then I’d pick it up sooner rather than later.
