Greak: Memories of Azur vs Rayman Adventures
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!
Rayman Adventures
Rayman Adventures is fun adventure-based platformer game by Ubisoft set in a fictional yet magical world where a crisis had just broken out. Apparently, the Incrediballs’ eggs that power the sacred tree as well as the fluffy Incrediballs themselves have been scattered across the land and it is now up to Rayman (controlled by you, of course) to set off on an adventure to seek them out and bring them all home. The gameplay in Rayman Adventures consist of a nice mix of fast-paced action and exploration, supplemented by the powers of the Incrediballs whom you have decided to bring along and aided with smooth and responsive controls. These Incrediballs are like pets in this game as well, so there are some caring that you'll need to do, such as feeding and playing with them. Eggs you've collected will also help your sacred tree to grow and the height of your tree is the indicator that the game uses to pit you against the other players on the leaderboard and to determine your rank.Rayman Adventure is part of Ubisoft's biggest casual franchise (aside from possibly its horse game that is) and as such, the game's quality is paramount. Unlike many other games though, this is something that this game has managed to achieve many times over. So, if platformers are your thing, this is a game you won't want to miss out. Try it now!
