This game is great! The controls are tight and dialed in, the music fits the part of the game, the visuals are beautiful and the story telling is very good. The dialogue can be a bit odd at times but nothing beyond easy understanding.
My only complaint is that the game seems a bit terse. It gets into a flow and then you realize the end is coming up. For a novice/casual gamer, you should expect to spend about 10 to 11 hours to get through it. For expert/veteran gamers, the estimated 6 to 7 hours is about right.
Overall, a great game and wonderful experience! Worth the price of admission even at full price!
Buy it, download it, install it, enjoy!!
Greak: Memories of Azur is a modern side view action-platformer game that puts a low of emphasis on it's graphics and the end product looks really well. Graphics are gorgeous both in the cinematic movies and the actual game. Animations are very smooth and detailed.
The gameplay is very generic and not that deep or engaging overall. Some people say this is a Metroidvania game, but it doesn't even have basic RPG concepts. It has some backtracking, but yet again you don't discover abilities or items, you cycle through your characters to solve the puzzles. For what it's worth it is an ok action-platformer game. The platformer puzzles seem exactly tailored for your party and stick a bit out-of-place. They are intuitive, but are kind of long and annoying due to the constant backtracking and character switching. There are a few upgrades to the characters but the items are optional and easily missable.
The "with a twist" in this game is the fact that you can control up to 3 characters at the same time, one being active and the others can stay put or follow along in a semi-automatic way. Again, to be honest, if you look at other games with similar concepts, like for example Trine, you may understand that controlling multiple is hard and often clunky. In Greak, just basic running and jumping around can be hard to pull off sometimes. Because all characters are active at the same time and each of them have their individual health, doing certain actions may end up killing one of your characters which will send you back to your last save point.
The plot is very simple and forgettable. There isn't anything special here. Music is fine and it sometimes blends in with the environment. Sometimes it feels repetitive and annoying.
Overall I found the game decent but rather bland. It's just mainstream quality game with frustrating controls and difficulty, but lovely graphics. Another game on my finished games collection that I'll probably forget about quickly.
