Do you think “Okami Sequel” can live up to the original?
I remember the original getting a lukewarm reception.
It was beautiful, played well, but extremely short and not very challenging.
But it was a long time ago, I could be misremembering.
I don’t think it was very challenging, but the game played without trying to collect everything is around 30 hours, which doesn’t seem short to me.
