Greak: Memories of Azur vs Silent Hill 4: The Room
Greak: Memories of Azur
Greak: Memories of Azur is a gorgeous action-adventure game featuring a young boy in search of his sister in a world engulfed in turmoil, no thanks to the bloodthirsty Uglars. Playing as the boy Greak, you’ll venture across various regions in Azur, exploring every inch of it for hidden stashes, completing quests, and battling enemies along the way.The game starts off like a relatively regular action platformer, where you’ll get to jump, swing your sword around, and solve relatively simple puzzles by switching characters once you manage to reunite him with his sister. This part is actually pretty similar to the gameplay in Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, a favorite of mine.
In fact, you’ll get to control both characters at the same time, which is interesting, though it does complicate things a bit during combat especially considering that the sister is a magic user and deals damage from afar while the brother is a sword-wielder and does best dealing damage from a much closer range.
In a way, Greak: Memories of Azur also feels a bit like a Metroidvania in the sense that the game hides secret chests and rare flowers in places that you, if you don’t pay too much attention, might miss. Even if you spotted the items, you will still need to figure out a way to get to them, which usually involves some creative and sometimes very precise jumping. Expect to get frustrated… a lot!
The gorgeous hand-drawn art in Greak is definitely one of the highlights of the game as well. The out-of-focus background in the distance matches well with the stuff at the front too.
In a nutshell, not only is Greak: Memories of Azur a gorgeous action-adventure game with a heartwarming story about a brother trying to reunite with his sister in a world embroiled in war and infested with dangerous creatures, it also comes with a fun gameplay that's perfectly "midcore". So, if you're into story-driven platformers, you'll want to check out this one!
Silent Hill 4: The Room
Silent Hill 4: The Room is the fourth and final installment of the main Silent Hill series (that is made by the original Silent Hill team). In this game, you play as Henry Townshend who found himself locked in his apartment that happened to be cursed by a malevolent evil. Due to this, strange stuff began to happen not only to him but also to the other residents in the apartment, teleporting him to a variety of different areas like a forest, a prison and even a hotel, and throwing tons of unimaginable creatures and the undead to stop his (and your) progress as he sought to escape from the hellish nightmare he seemed to be trapped in. However, as he overcame challenges after challenges, he may eventually find out the truth behind all of these.Silent Hill 4: The Room is an excellent end to a franchise that was so greatly loved by many. However, that's not the end though. The game has been picked up by another team and more Silent Hill may still be produced.
