This is a really fun game killed by the fact that the two characters don't stay in sync when moving around. I can't tell you how many times I've been killed because one caught a ledge, made a jump, or hit a bouncer and the other didn't. I otherwise enjoyed this game, but I couldn't take the sync issues, despite extremely liberal use of the right trigger to pull them together. It's also annoying that the map is …

Great little action adventure platformer, not so much metroidvania (no, you don't need a map in this, and it doesn't have one ... only the overworld map). Medium length, took me around 9h to complete, but sweet. Great graphics and music. Good story. Starts slow like most games of this type but picks up after 2h or so. Controlling 3 characters is a bit clunky, but the system is better than most and it enhances the …

The concept of this game is fantastic, I love having multiple playable characters and maneuvering them at the same time. In practice, the puzzles work very well, they're fun and intuitive. The movement and combat don't work quite as well as it can be tricky to manage everyone if they're not in the exact same place, but the mimic power to control all three at once keeps that from being too difficult. I love the …

Developed by Navegante Entertainment and published by Team17, it sets out to tell a touching story of family and resilience amid conflict. The game follows three siblings—Greak, Adara, and Raydel—members of the magical Courine race, as they attempt to reunite and …

I love the simple hand drawn images and graphics. Very cute and artsy. Nice Puzzles that work your mind, but not so hard that it becomes cumbersome. There is a lot of retracing your steps which can get frustrating every once in a while, but overall a VERY pleasant game. It doesn't need a gaming powerhouse to run. I run it off of my Surface Pro 9 at work during my downtime and it runs beautifully. Has some …

neutral · AI labelView post →The game at a glance has fantastic art but the puzzles are just so monotonous, switching characters feel odd, and the combat is simply spamming a single button. The game tries to combine too many elements together: puzzle solving, metroidvania, and multiple switchable characters but end up being mediocre at everything.

neutral · AI labelView post →An impeccably presented, but ultimately disappointing puzzle-platforming adventure about swapping between three siblings -- each with unique skills -- to explore dungeons and solve puzzles in a manner somewhat similar to the Trine games. Unfortunately, Greak is so short that by the time you unlock the third sibling and the game finally starts to flex its creative muscles its nearly over, leaving an experience that legitimately feels half-finished and only just barely scratching the surface of…

neutral · AI labelView post →This game is no fun at all. It says it's metroidvania but it's literally a puzzle platformer. The combat is shallow af, the gimmick of controlling multiple characters is so annoying and not opted out. The game looks like Hknight which is a + point for it but that's it. To get through the world you need to constantly juggle between the characters because each have their own strenghts and that is so stressful. It's so retarded in bossfights when u can only control one character and in the…

neutral · AI labelView post →I really don't like the way you control multiple characters in this game. Since they don't "stick" together perfectly they start to fall out of sync quite quickly and it becomes annoying as this can lead to an instant game over and reloading to your last save point. Since your non-controlled party member isn't immune it also means they take unnecessary damage. The map in this game is also terrible as it's essentially useless only showing the names of each zone and whether you are in a zone or…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has potential, but ultimately fails. The graphics are cute, the cut-scenes are really well made, decent sound-design and responsive controls. The control-scheme for controlling the three siblings is also pretty intuitive. However, for the most part the usage of the 3 siblings mechanic is not great. The puzzles are mostly obvious and variations of "stand on the switch/crank, person 2 moves past the obstacle and finds the switch/crank on the other side". The 3rd sibling comes into play…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was debating with myself on whether to give Greak a thumbs up or not, because it's very flawed. But, in the end, I think it can be quite enjoyable, as long as you have the patience. It's feels very much like a "mini Hollow Knight". However, it's inferior in practically every aspect: it's much smaller and the levels are generally less interesting, although there are some really cool puzzles. Combat is generally mediocre, though the boss fights are fun (and easy). Where it really carves its…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Greak: Memories of Azur has gorgeous hand-drawn visuals and a calm fantasy atmosphere that feels consistently charming throughout the game. The audio fits the world well, although the soundtrack itself is not especially memorable. The gameplay introduces a unique concept by letting players control three characters with different abilities, and the combat is simple but still enjoyable for most of the journey. Unfortunately, the multi-character system also becomes the game’s biggest weakness .…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a mixed game for me. 1. This is NOT a metroidvania anywhere near the typical sense. I supposed there is SOME backtracking along the way, but don't expect to pick up powers that allow you to traverse new areas. Methods of entrance into new areas are different from a typical MV. 2. The game is way too short. I thought I was maybe halfway through when I received the achievement for reaching the ending. Also, I often leave my game running while I afk for real life duties, and I had…

Really loved how they made every character special each for their own way, also for the puzzles and that you have to use each of them for what they're capable of, they even made different dialogue specialized for each character when interacting with npc's which is great effort they put in. Boss, character, graphics and everything is designed really well. The combats are good but could be better synced when playing with all 3…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game isn't bad by any means but there is a gamebreaking bug right before the ending that hardlocks you. If you have saved after you're hardlocked, too bad: restart the entire game. I honestly just looked up the ending on YouTube instead. Otherwise it would have been a good game to me. Nothing out of the ordinary but a fun experience.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overview GREAK: Memories of Azure is a simplistic, 2D Puzzle Platformer in which you assume control of Greak (and eventually his two siblings), members of a race of humanoids called Courines who live in a country called Azure. The nation of Azure is decaying under a plague that is giving rise to an existentially threatening race called the Urlags. In the game, you’ll maneuver Greak and his kin in various ways to help the remaining Courines escape Azure and resettle their race elsewhere. You’ll…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Art is really great. Story seems interesting. I rated it down because it has a timed puzzle that I absolutely hated and that made me rage quit. Wish that was a little easier and I would have tried to complete the game, but tried it over and over many times and it frustrated me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the most boring metroidvanias I've ever played. So much of this game is annoying, tedious, and slow. The areas aren't terribly big, but nothing is memorable, so it's easy to get lost. There's lots of backtracking made worse by managing 2, later 3, characters. Combat is boring, the skills you obtain are useless. The inventory is small and gets clogged up by ingredients for cooking. Cooking feature is totally unnecessary. Music is forgettable. The only good thing I have to say about the…

positive · AI labelView post →Look, everything about this game should be right up my wheelhouse. It has a cute art and lore, fun platforming challenges and puzzles, however... the main thing that sets it apart is also what makes it pretty frustrating. The idea of this being multiple characters is neat for puzzle solving, but for platorming, when you are controlling multiple characters and try to do precision jumps... they so easily drift apart, beause if there is only a slight delay, you lose one character, and then the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Graphics are polished, but playstyle does not seems comfortable. Its not a good idea to control multiple character together, lot of confusion & less enjoyable. This game have been gem if its a couch co-op or simply added multiple functions to one character. Also character seem slow while executing desired actions... so a big no to this one. Just playing it for the sake of completion & justifying purchase to myself.

neutral · AI labelView post →Fun for about 4 hours, the other half of the game is a bit of a drag. Map is bad, fast travel mechanic is bad, and playing with all three characters in fights is clunky. Was fun at first though. Worth on sale id say if you are feinding for a metroidvania
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played this with immortal companions and basically that's pretty much main reason why I was able to finish it, because those bosses with the way companions handle is just nope. I wouldn't say it's a bad game but nothing really shines and I kinda didn't even feel like finishing it in the 2nd half. So I give this very strong OKAY but I don't see myself telling anyone to play it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very good metroidvania with some puzzle aspects. Eventually you get to control all three characters at once. The story is interesting. The hand drawn graphics are very pleasing and the music is also great. The game is a good medium length. Nothing was too challenging. The only downsides would be that the map isn't detailed so you can't see exactly where you are in each area. Plus you get the third character pretty late. Overall I enjoyed this game and recommend it for fans of the genre…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For a metroidvania platformer this game has some garbage controls, i even used a controller like the game suggests. I would turn one way to hit the enemy that is in that direction but somehow i'm facing in the opposite direction. From what i gathered of the story of this game the main character is looking for his sister and then you can control both of them at the same time. Good god what would be a nightmare to do the rest of the game because of unresponsive the controls are. I got this at…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First of all, the game IS flawed in many ways. That being the case, I'll still recommend you play it and this is why: It's got one of the loveliest art, character design and ambience I've seen in a while, which really gets you a bit invested on the characters and makes you go "awww" for many of the animations. Solving the puzzles is no rocket science, but still brought me a lot of joy upon completing them - I wish there were many more. Nevertheless, it was a lot of fun, and I'm looking…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very good game, I loved the art style and the atmosphere the whole thing has, the controls could be a bit better and honestly i cannot think how is anyone expected to beat any boss while controling the 3 characters at the same time, i was lucky to find the setting to turn off the damage taken to innactive characters because otherwise i would ragequit as I almost did with the first that needed 2 characters, also, the game would be benefited by having an actual mapto know where are you going in…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Due to how short the game is, I'm going to finish it but I would not recommend it. It's got a cute design and bare bone structure, the the finesse is lacking. Characters get separated a lot while traversing in sync. This happens with members clipping edges, missing landings, having different jump animation timings so jump pads split them up. Normally it wouldn't be too bothersome but if it makes a character fall into damage, any party member dying is a game over which resets your game to your…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you enjoy puzzle platformers and hate rage inducing chase sequences then this is the game for you. It does have some timed element challenges but these are for extra life points and aren't crucial to complete the game. I actually enjoyed the feature of having multiple character and using all of them at once or just being but sometimes they fall into spikes when you try double jumping with them all but it's easy enough to do one by one. The girl is definitely the OP in the game especially…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Controlling more than one character at the same time is almost never fun and that's certainly the case here. Combat is almost unnecessary and usually frustrating to the point that I would try to fight even the bosses with only one character. Almost every death I had during boss fights was because the character I wasn't controlling died, often due to their movement getting unsync'd with my character. It just wasn't very fun to play. I will say that the art is brilliant, the cut scenes made we…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Story sounds interesting, that's all it has going for it. The puzzles and the combat are SO basic becomes boring, specially after you realize you can just spam the attack button or run from the enemy. i play it for 3 hours expecting something interesting to happen but nothing did. The gimmick of the change of characters is SO BADLY DONE. I spend more time getting my partner to follow me rather than advancing to the game. Sometimes, for some random reason the partner gets a little behind and…

Don't get me wrong the graphics and music are great but the gameplay and overall platforming feels quite janky to me... I really hate leaving a negative review on a metroidvania but honestly I wouldn't recommend this icl...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Greak: A Game I Forgot Greak follows the titular character as they set off into the world, attempting to find their siblings whilst helping to prepare a village to escape an ever present rot that is occurring within the world. The story itself is kind of odd as you find yourself midway into the conflict and ultimately you're not fighting against it, you're more focused on fleeing. This makes the story feel less impactful as there's no instigation, and no real conclusion. It feels like a…

For instance, the grappling mechanic has to have hit boxes the size of two pixels 4) balancing the characters feels impossible for one player if you don't play with the other characters being invulnerable. It's like they wanted to make a co-op game and just...didn't 5) if you thought this would…

The feeling of adventure, expedition, ambition, and the coming of age wrapped in an in your face tale of invasion and evacuation when opposed by an over whelming force.
