Ōkami

Ōkami is a game is about Amaterasu, the Shinto Sun goddess who takes the form of a wolf, as she defeats the evil darkness. This game is known as one of the best games of all time, but was a pretty big failure in sales.

Reception
The game received critical acclaim. The game was praised for its beautiful art direction, fun gameplay, and good graphics. The game won 3 awards, mostly for the game's amazing art direction. IGN awarded Ōkami for game of the year. The game was mostly criticized for its difficulty and dialogue and Kotaku criticized the game for being to long, but that didn't stop the game from becoming a critical success. It was sadly not a commercial success though.

Sales
Although the game was critically acclaimed, it was also a commercial failure. The game sold 200,000 copies in 2006, in 2007, the game sold 270,000 copies, by March 2009, the game sold under 600,000 copies. The game most likely failed because the PlayStation 2 was about to be discontinued when it came out. After Ökami failed, the designer of the game, Hideki Kamiya, decided to leave the Capcom Studios, where he found his own studio called Platinum Games, where they made popular games such as the Bayonetta franchise and Devil May Cry. While the game was a big commercial failure, it got a sequel, Ōkamiden, in 2010 and a remake, Ōkami HD, in 2017, but they weren't as well received as the original masterpiece that we all know today.
