10 Masterpiece Video Games You DIDN'T Play

The more you try to explain why Okami is a masterpiece, the worse it sounds. Basically, you play as a wolf god who must protect the world with his magical paintbrush and defeat a multi-headed dragon by getting him really drunk.

Okami may sound too weird for its own good but it cannot be stressed enough how perfect this game is. There is literally not one box it doesn't tick. The characters are adorable, the banter is hilarious, the story is epic, the battle mechanics are creative, and the cel-shaded ink wash style looks glorious.

Even though Okami received a Metacritic score of at least 90% on every system upon its initial release, nobody gravitated towards it. It's such a pity, since anyone who played Okami for a couple of minutes could see the developers poured their heart and soul into every aspect of it.

Although it became far more popular after it was rereleased on later systems, it was too little too late. Apart from the DS spiritual successor, Okamiden, the developers have no interest in making a sequel because of how badly the original sold.
