Ōkami HD (2012)

A long, talkative introduction can conceal the pleasure of using a brush to repair and reshape a world. The early restoration work around Kamiki and Hana Valley, followed by Tsuta Ruins, gives the Celestial Brush more opportunities to connect exploration, puzzles and fighting. That is a fairer sample than the opening explanation alone. Dialogue and gentle teaching continue, so the later charm depends on enjoying the world as well as its pace.
