Went in a different direction with this review. I compiled quotes from the game (all full sentences, not just individual words) and tried to state my case in the game's own words, while going through a progressive arc similar to the game's narrative arc. Half tempted to have all my future reviews translated to Japanese, then localized so they sound like this.
"Great Mother Okami Amaterasu… I am filled with unbridled joy at your safe return! I would have found you and done so just the same. How delightful to see that the savior whose brave sacrifice sealed away the evil demon so many years ago has not changed one bit. It looks great thanks to you. See, even the Guardian’s smiling!"
