10 Awesome Video Games That Fail In The 3rd Act
3. Ōkami
If you thought Alien: Isolation was bad in outstaying its welcome by a few hours, it's got nothing on cult classic action-adventure game Ōkami, which will take most players at least 30 damn hours to beat.
Ōkami is effectively three games' worth of story smushed into one package, and while one is tempted to laud Capcom for basically selling three games for one price, that third act sure is a patience-tester alright.
Just when it feels like it's wrapping up, it just. keeps. going. The final section, the Ark of Yamato, culminates in an exhausting boss rush of all major previous bosses, and coming at the end of several "you're definitely at the end now" fake-outs, concludes the game on a majorly bum note.
Ōkami is a wonderful game in so many respects, but also one that's tough to wholeheartedly recommend to new players because it's so grotesquely saggy and bloated.
By the time it's over, you'll probably wonder what else you could've done with your time during those interminable final hours.
