10 Games That Let You Play as Dogs, AKA the Best Games Ever

Okami/Okamiden

Amaterasu, the main character of Okami, is technically a Shinto sun goddess, but she does take the form of a white wolf in the game. It combines several myths and legends about how Amaterasu saved the land from darkness, and has a gorgeous cel-shaded art style with tons of Japanese influences. Running around as Amaterasu is as fluid and fun as you’d expect controlling a wolf to be, and there’s also a big gameplay element involving calligraphy. A direct sequel to the game, called Okamiden, has you taking control of a cute celestial wolf born from Amaterasu, this time named Chibiterasu. Adorable.
