Greak: Memories of Azur Reviews
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 is yet another great Metroidvania that manages to make the genre feel fresh and empowering. While the world of this story is dark, the feeling players are left with is one of joy, and its well-paced runtime leaves room for both a sequel and replay value. Ultimately, the most disappointing part of Greak: Memories of Azur is that it ended at all, and it's a must-play for anyone who finds the genre intriguing.
Without a doubt, Greak: Memories of Azur is a fantastic game. I confess to having spent practically my entire journey with a smile from ear to ear as I learned more about the world of Courines, enjoying the backdrops with rich handcrafted arts and racking my brain in ingenious puzzles. Thus, it's easy to be enchanted by the triple gameplay involving Greak, Adara and Raydel, who star in an unforgettable adventure in the fight to preserve Azur's memory.

Greak: Memories of Azur is fun and challenging. While it’s difficult to control all three siblings at once, they are a force to be reckoned with when players get a handle on them. Those who enjoy Metroidvania games should not pass up this unique adventure. Azur awaits!
Greak: Memories of Azur is a heartfelt, thrilling adventure. With three leading characters, the game has managed to carve its own identity within a crowded genre. The jaw-dropping visuals and intricate soundtrack ooze atmosphere, enticing you to explore every inch of the world. Although controlling several characters at once can be troublesome, it takes nothing away from this fascinating, methodically paced, puzzle-platforming quest about family, home and hope.
Nice and dangerous story of three siblings with good puzzle and sometimes really hard challenge.

When you’re this far into a system’s lifespan, making a splash with a game that not only has a distinctive look but that’s in a way that still feels fresh can take some work...
A beautiful tale about three siblings in their quest to rid the world on an ancient evil, hell bent of corruption and destruction.
Greak: Memories of Azur es un juego con una buena dirección artística, mecánicas bien implementadas, combate satisfactorio y lleno de detalles que demuestran el cariño con el que fue realizado. El manejo de 3 personajes principales y la resolución de acertijos ponen el toque más original del juego, mientras que además toma influencias de obras icónicas como Hollow Knight y Ori para hacerlo un mejor título.

Magical worlds, beautiful creatures, medieval universes, struggles for survival... The fantasy genre has left us great stories, those that transport us to unthinkable scenarios in our reality and adventures that we could never star. But that's what video games are for, isn't it? Precisely, Greak: Memories of Azur fulfills an essential function, not only because it serves as an escape valve to existential reality, but also because it is one of those driving forces that allows to rectify unsatisfactory reality and realize unfinished desires,in this case, through a proposal based on the cooperation of its protagonists.

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

Short, but unique and satisfying despite some frustrating elements, Greak: Memories of Azur is a winning actiony puzzle-platformer with some of the best 2D visuals you can find.
My only issue was that there wasn’t much consistency with the difficulty throughout, some levels and enemies were weak, then others would be really powerful in the next room. But in the end, this will just allow players to improve their strategies a lot faster. Also, the lack of co-op is a huge missed opportunity for this title. Greak: Memories of Azur is definitely one of the standout titles this year and shouldn’t be missed.
One of the most beautiful surprises of this 2021: Greak: Memories of Azur is really a title that will make the happiness of all lovers of "Metroidvania" or even better of "MetroidVaTrine". The artistic realization is mind-blowing, while the gameplay takes up the best of the action platformers and multiplies it by three.

Greak: Memories of Azur is a truly charming little title that fans of puzzle and action games will really enjoy. Its unique mechanics of controlling the three siblings at once paid off for the most part, even if it became more frustrating during boss fights. While the game’s restrictive inventory and lack of area maps wasn’t ideal, it didn’t prevent the gorgeous hand-drawn world and enchanting soundtrack from drawing me right into the experience. Greak: Memories of Azur is fun, very easy to like, and definitely worth checking out.
Greak: Memories of Azur is a refreshing single-player co-op game with challenging adventure and some bumps.
Greak: Memories of Azur captivate by mixing elements from various genres and by presenting beautiful hand-drawn graphics, making it a great choice for platform and metroidvania fans. Gameplay is fun most of the time, but simultaneous control of characters at certain times can be a little frustrating. The random soundtrack and little variety of enemies can make the adventure a little monotonous at times.

There’s a lot to like here, so it should come as no surprise that the pros far outweigh the cons.
Greak: Memories of Azur is an exquisitely crafted 2D exploration, action and platform game. With an impeccable audiovisual section and some new mechanics, we are presented with this metroidvania that departs a bit from the standards of the subgenre. Although the use of its playable mechanics is a bit unbalanced and the design of the title gives the feeling that it could offer us more, Greak: Memories of Azur is a very enjoyable game that has been on the verge of being much more.
