Greak: Memories of Azur

Greak: Memories of Azur provided me the opportunity to experience a beautiful hand-drawn world in a way that best suits my gaming time and style. As I get older and find myself more and more selective with my gaming, intimate experiences like Greak are so much more rewarding than the biennial installment of a huge triple A title. Perhaps you’re noticing the same habit forming with your gaming. If so, this hidden gem might be exactly what you’ve been looking for, too.

Greak: Memories of Azur is a game with a good artistic direction, well-implemented mechanics, satisfying combat, and is full of details that show the affection with which it was made. The handling of 3 main characters and the puzzle solving are the most original touch of the game, while also taking influences from iconic works such as Hollow Knight and Ori and the Blind Forest to make it a better title.

One of the most intriguing action-platform games of the year. Greak: Memories of Azur is artistically gorgeous and its gameplay is simple but engaging.

With its beautiful art direction, Greak is a journey you should embark on.

Simply one of the most enchanting art-styles you'll experience on an indie game. The hand-drawn characters and backgrounds are magical in motion, and contribute to a potently heart-warming playthrough. Whereas the game's simultaneous character control, puzzles, and individual character skills can be highly enjoyable at the right moments, those moments sadly don't come enough to completely satisfy. Nevertheless, Greak: Azur is worth a go for the aesthetic charm alone, and has some great puzzles for fans of that inclination.

I'm not sure what happened with Greak: Memories of Azur. The elements are all there. The ingredients in place to create something wonderful, and it does look stunning. But the execution is a complete let down. The promise fails to bind together because for every clever idea, every good intention, there is some frustration looming alongside. For every good bit there is something bad, and the end result left me feeling like the package was less than the sum of its parts.

With a fairly short running time, at least Greak: Memories of Azur doesn’t require much commitment to see it through. I just can’t help but feel that if your companions were computer-controlled and actually assisted you in combat, or at least tried to keep out of the way of your enemies rather than simply standing motionless, my review would be much more glowing. As it is, for every few minutes of joy I had with Greak: Memories of Azur, I generally had another filled with some level of frustration. Ultimately that lead to a great deal of disappointment, which is a real shame.

Grate game love the puzzle and how they work together, and how you can play with all 3 characters

El arte de este juego es increíble. La historia es sencilla, pero cumple. Evidentemente se encuentra influenciado por otros juegos indie de este estilo, sin embargo sus mecánicas en algunas ocasiones se sintieron algo rígidas. También hizo falta una mayor variedad de enemigos con una mejor IA, al igual que variedad en sus escenarios.

Me gusto el arte, la música y la trama, pero es bastante meh en todo su núcleo de videojuego, solo el combate individual es bueno, el resto es muy regular.

Greak: Memories of Azur brille par ses superbes graphismes et son ambiance féerique, mais le gameplay peut vite devenir frustrant. Manipuler les trois personnages manque de fluidité, ce qui complique les phases d’action et de plateforme. Une belle expérience, mais rendue difficile par une jouabilité trop rigide

Come sprecare un art&sound design incredibile con un game design pessimo sotto quasi tutti i punti di vista. Piccola nota positiva: buon sfruttamento del dualsense. (Per un gioco indie)
