As much as I love it, Okami is ridiculously easy. You can fill up the "astral pouch" and it will revive you if you lose all your health, and you get FOUR of them throughout the game. It's really easy to fill up too. Food is freaking EVERYWHERE. It does have some challenge to it when it comes to some of the side quests (Blockhead Grande...), but on the whole, yeah. Easy.
