Creaks
You can clearly see that Amanita Design spend way more resources and time on Creaks, but the move from classic point-n-click gameplay was not very smooth. The game is massive and is undoubtedly gorgeous, but sometimes it feels like it's drags on for way too long and the gameplay becomes quite repetitive. The feeling of true excitement that you get for solving a head scratching puzzle is also nowhere to be seen. But all of that means very little when you take Creaks for what it is, especially if you look at it with a fresh pair of eyes.

Excellent puzzle platformer, which combines efective game design, balanced difficulty and creative approach to puzzles. Above all stands an unmistakable graphic design by Amanita Studios, like a golden crown of a bit scary world. [Issue#305]
Amanita once again shows its strength, even when trying out a new genre. If you like to think hard and admire beautiful graphics, this is a game for you.

The game has an incredible atmosphere, and some of the environmental puzzles are really well-crafted. The gameplay is excellent from start to finish. Kudos to the developers.

Wonderful story, great puzzles, fantastic hand drawn graphics and a brilliant soundscape. The whole game is a piece of art in itself. Highly recommended!

Kesinlikle her anlamda bana hitap etmeyen bir oyun. Merakım beni hep vakit kaybı yapımlara yönlendiriyor.

Creaks has beauty, creativity and invention to spare, but don’t let its flighty facade fool you: there’s challenge aplenty here too.

It would have been wonderful to see this team’s giant imagination expressed through the subversion of, rather than adherence to, well-worn puzzle platform conventions, but perhaps that is just plain greedy. It is, after all, such a treat to find a gorgeous narrative game that owes nothing to the culturally prevalent aesthetics of Disney, Marvel or Studio Ghibli. While the puzzle construction at the heart of Creaks is formulaic, that should not be a disincentive to give this short, singular experience a try. No time with an Amanita Design game is ever wasted.

Those small flaws don't detract from what is a great little puzzle game, though. Amanita basically has a perfect track record when it comes to its different releases and Creaks does not break that trend. It certainly is something new for the studio that longtime fans may not immediately gel with, but those that have a love of the weird and creepy will find a lot to admire in Creaks.

Creaks is a great game if you like puzzles. It’s beautiful and challenging, although it ends up feeling a little bit repetitive, with some puzzle designs that feel too similar to each other.

The game is primarily a vehicle for Amanita Design’s brand of typically immaculate artistry.

Хорошая головоломка, но местами слишком замудрёная. Дропнул после 3 часов игры.

A platformer with lovely hand-drawn art and a charming soundtrack by Hidden Orchestra (check them out if you don't know them!). Given the eerie atmosphere and the design, I was surprised by how puzzle-heavy the game is. The difficulty is optimal - the puzzles require some brain cells to awaken but don't make you pull out your hair, but after a while they get a little repetitive. There isn't much of a story as well, so it's fitting that the game takes only about 5-6 hours to complete - otherwise it would get too tedious. Although I generally don't consider collectibles in reviews, in this game they felt quite forced and infantile, or in other words, like a filler that doesn't really add to the experience. Overall the game was pleasing enough for those 5-odd hours, but isn't worth dying for.

SummaryJust a few minutes into Creaks, you will bump into some strange barking creatures in the mansion’s dark corridors. But are they as dangerous as they seem? Try to get them trapped under a beam of light and take a closer look. You may find out that what felt dangerous is a simple night table. Turning these creatures into ordinary objects i... Read More
