How this score was computed
The VGC Score is a weighted blend on a press-comparable 0-100 quality scale. Steam approval rates are first calibrated (95% positive on Steam ≈ 89.5 quality, since Steam approval skews high). Press and tracked creator reviews each count ~2x a player review and share one cap against player evidence (creator buy/skip calls pool into an approval rate, calibrated like Steam approval); all-time sentiment is capped and halved (it's context, not verdict); reviews of the current build carry the most weight when a fresh patch anchors the window; and a 'typical game' prior keeps small samples from pegging the scale. Because press reviews and Metacritic user aggregates describe the launch build, their weight decays as the game ages (3-year half-life after a 1-year grace). That's how a game that launched rough can outgrow its old reception once updates win players over. Reviews under 2h playtime (the refund window), non-Steam activations, and free copies are downweighted.

| Metacritic user ratings | – | – | 0 |

“Greak: Memories of Azur is beautiful and cute fairytale, sometimes interesting and fun, but in the end - pretty forgettable.”

“As for the game’s bosses, they’re most efficiently fought one on one, keeping the other characters out of harm’s way. It’s telling, then, that the game’s final area, the labyrinthine Aldalar Tomb, pointedly separates the three heroes. All that build-up to unite the family, and in the end, Greak: Memories of Azur finds it best to keep them apart.”

“Greak: Memories of Azur is a sad yet touchingly beautiful story of three siblings struggling against adversity against the backdrop of a once-beautiful land ravaged by a cruel war, rendered in stunning hand-drawn art. The touching displays of sibling love, protection, self-sacrifice, and care will tug at your heartstrings. Although there are a few minor flaws, the amazing atmosphere, pleasant music, and adorable art style more than make up for them as you become completely absorbed in the game until you finish it in one sitting in about ten hours.”

“Greak: Memories of Azur is a solid platformer by Navegante Entertainment, delivering a well realised world with interesting characters, gorgeous hand-crafted visuals, and intriguing environments that beg to be explored. The combat can be a bit hit and miss at times, and the distinct lack of co-op play - despite the ability to switch characters at will - feels like a missed opportunity. As a story-driven adventure title, though, this one is absolutely worth a punt.”

“If it weren’t for [its controls] -the most important thing to nail in the genre- Greak would have been a top tier 2D platformer. As for now, it has to settle for the bronze medal for its art and ingenious idea of making platforming and puzzle segments using a trio of heroes.”

“I fell in love with Greak: Memories of Azur from minute one and would be overjoyed to see a sequel sometime in the future. Navegante Entertainment have created a world rich with lore and overflowing with melancholy storytelling that I quite simply wish there was more of it to explore. The powerful orchestral score adds considerable weight to both the action and the narrative, folding in another layer of depth to the experience. The puzzle-solving may not be the most taxing, but the levels are well designed and showcased with the most beautiful hand drawn visuals. Short, sweet, but almost perfectly formed, Greak: Memories of Azur should be on the radar of every Metroidvania fan out there.”

“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...”

“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.”

“Greak: Memories of Azur, with all its problems, still entertains you for 6 to 7 hours. The main reason for the game's attractiveness is its hand-held designs, which are eye-catching and you will like to stare at the game environments constantly.”

“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.”

“Greak: Memories of Azur is a well-executed adventure that reaches for the stars but never quite leaves orbit.”

“Don't be lured unaware by its siren call! While there is a decent experience underneath, some inexplicable design decisions, the uninspired sidequests and serviceable story don't buoy the adventure enough to make up for how badly implemented the game's primary mechanic is. If you came away from the eShop demo impressed or you're able to overlook a very obvious fatal flaw, you might be able to derive some pleasure out of Greak's mission. Don't expect to find me spending much time reminiscing about these memories.”
