Looks ok........

The hand drawn graphics were indeed good, but I soon had to quit this unfortunately. Right near the start there was a bit which demanded you press space, E and D at the same time, or in sequence....... but it was just beyond my fingers to do so. It says at the start, "controller recommended". Well, it's essential by the looks of it....... So with a controller probably a nice side scroller fighting / platformer. Unfortunately being stuck with keyboard I can't really try it out properly.

Confuses controller input for keyboard

Games keeps confusing controller inputs for keyboard inputs and doing the wrong actions. Makes this quite unplayable with a controller which, funnily enough, is the recommended way to play it.

Fun platformer that could have been more

Greak is a beautiful action game with a few flaws, but I enjoyed it and appreciated what it tried to do. Starting with the eponimous Greak, you eventually find your sister, and later your brother, to form your 3-person team. The movement and combat are pretty standard, though the world is beautiful with an excellent soundtrack. Unfortunately, the game takes a little too long, at least compared to its total length, to get all three characters, so it doesn't do enough puzzles where you have to use their unique abilities. The last dungeon was good for that. Combat isn't really good, though the last character did feel like the better soldier he was. Again, there's no reason to switch around. In fact, the difficulty might increase due to them having independent health bars. The story is fine, though I left wanting to know more lore. I also don't know why the game is named after the first character. I didn't see it as a coming-of-age story for him, like the younger boy in "Brothers." What I think I loved most about the game was the tone. Spoiler warning: You don't "win" in a traditional sense. Greak's people are beset by an invading army and a plague that spawns monsters. His people are leaving. You don't save the land, you save your people by making escape possible. It was actually sad watching the airship leave the fort, and their homeland, behind, even though it ended on a hopeful note as they met other survivors and landed in their new home. I really appreciate that difference, and it stuck with me throughout the game. This was especially true in the last chapter, as your characters attempt to comfort a young girl after her brother died. The scene is mostly quiet, punctuated by sounds of rain and her soft sobs. Good job, game!

A Short, but Good Experience

So after playing and finishing I can say that I found the game to be a great time that overall begins to wear out its welcome and ends just as you begin to get invested in the characters stories in such a way that makes you wonder if they ran out of resources to extend it to its proper conclusion, ending on the promise of a future game. Is this worth the price point? If you like a metroidvania with light puzzle, simple combat, that maintains quality throughout and ends before it gets tiresome then yes it is. Otherwise buy on sale.

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!
