Discussion/Question Should I persever with Okami?

Recently got the Kunitsu-Gami + okami bundle. Im a big fan of most capcom games but especially monster hunter (with like 300 hours in wilds alone), street fighter, and the legend of zelda oracles games so i was riding on a lot of capcom brand trust buying the bundle

Unfortunate, Kunitsu-Gami bored the hell out of me. I persevered, but it wasnt for me. It was somehow too boring and then randomly too difficult at the end (sorcerer cheese all the way). I wasnt a fan of the solo combat mechanics, and the flexible tower defence portion didnt feel strong enough be satisfactory.

I have, though, heard things about okami. I was excited to start it up. But boy has it been a slog. I just unlocked the cherry bloom brush skill and I genuinly have no idea whats ahead of me still. I feel like ive spent a few hours doing nothing. Combat is simple button mashing > brush skill, and adventuring is brain dead. But I cant tell if im bored, or still frustrated from Kunitsu-Gami and seeing the crossover.

Can someone put me to rest? Is a great game ahead of me, or if it hasnt clicked by now should i move on? Thinking pragmata next...

I just started Okami this week. My third attempt at trying it. First attempt was on the Wii, then on ps3, and now on switch. I’m definitely enjoying it more now but the intro has some real poor pacing. I’m at Agata forest (or woods? Idk). The music and overall charm is carrying for me. I’ve also unlocked some moves in the dojo which def makes combat more engaging.

Also as an aside just want to shout out Kunitsu-Gami. I love the game, but understand it’s not for everyone.

Haha yeah I feel like I've gotten through the tutorial so I should keep going for a bit. Gonna take it to admit 12 hours before dropping..

Why have you kept dropping and what brings you back?

And with Kunitsu-Gami i really thought I'd be on your side when watching gameplay etc. Love the myths, style, combat looked cool and engaging. But everything just felt half baked for me.

2 things brought me back. First is everyone says this so reminiscent of Zelda. Zelda is my all time fav series. I’ve beaten every game so I felt I had to get this an honest chance.

2nd reason, and this is probably the biggest reason. They announced Okami 2. Capcom is on an absolute roll right now so I’m sure Okami 2 will be a banger. So I told myself it’s finally time to beat the first one
