It&#8217;s safe to say we loved the game in our recent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/reviews\/switch-eshop\/okami_hd\">review<\/a>, and that included its soundtrack:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;[The soundtrack] revels in flutes and stringed instruments. Even during the more intense action sequences, there\u2019s a certain kind of peaceful and serene tone to the music that infuses the amazing visuals with a heightened air of mysticism, and this makes for an experience that you won\u2019t want to miss.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This new release is presented as a quadruple LP box set, featuring over two hours of newly remastered music and a 40-page artbook. There is also a double-sided lithographic print featuring original illustrations from the Capcom archives in Japan.
