My heart says 5 stars, my brain says 4
Team 17 has had a few titles I have enjoyed playing quite a bit in recent years (Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos in particular!). I'll add Greak to that list, after eyeballing this one for some time since it's release. I'm several hours in and really enjoy the experience. The gameplay is smooth. Animations are fantastic for being hand drawn, though with a few extra frames, whether drawn or procedurally generated or some form of AI/shader smoothing, they would be perfect. The story seems original and immersive, with memorable characters and emotional story ties. Not all is apparent as far as the story goes or the origins of the characters' race. Which is both good and bad. Some mystery to ponder, some things I wish were more clearly conveyed. I love the game, but controlling multiple characters at the same time is a steep learning curve. If I could swap them out in real-time, controlling one at a time or swapping characters at the main camp, for me that would be preferable. That seems like the only aspect of the game that holds me back from giving it five stars. Like others have mentioned, the music, atmosphere, and everything else about the game is fantastic for a metroidvania game. One other thing that bugs me is what seems to be a 'point of no return' mechanic as the story progresses. As I stated, I'm several hours in and haven't completed the game yet, but there are a few things that are lost if you don't jump on them before continuing past certain plot points. Which was unexpected, as I returned to certain areas to find that important characters were nowhere to be found. Regardless, I would definitely recommend Greak to anyone that likes platformers and metroidvanias like Hollow Knight, Steamworld Dig, Unepic, classic Apogee platformers, Jazz Jackrabbit, etc etc. Thanks Team 17 and GOG!
