Greak: Memories of Azur vs Resogun
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!
Resogun
Resogun is a brilliant side-scrolling (in a spherical sense) arcade-shooter for the PlayStation platform. Being a shoot-'em-up, you can definitely expect a bullet-hell gameplay where you'll need to take on wave after wave of relentless enemies. The arsenal of weapons at your disposal is quite diverse as well, giving you access to cool lasers and even destructive nova-bombs that can level hordes of enemies at one go. The game also has a really nice sci-fi theme, brilliant graphics, and of course, superb sound.The best and most unique aspect of this game though is that each item, be it a enemy fighter, boss or simply an object, in the game is built using voxels and hence, you can satisfyingly blast your enemies into millions of bits and pieces. You can even take on challenging bosses cooperatively with friends in this game or test your mettle in the game's endless Survival mode, Demolition mode, Arcade mode and also the level-based Score Attack mode.
Resogun is among the best arcade-shooters that you can play on PlayStation 3 and 4 as well as PSVita, and if this sort of game is kind of your thing, you'll definitely not regret getting this game.
