I recommend giving it a try.Nice expansions of the game with the new areas. This games art style is **** game itself is really fun and the puzzle are hella **** sure recommend.
A platformer with lovely hand-drawn art and a charming soundtrack by Hidden Orchestra (check them out if you don't know them!). Given the eerie atmosphere and the design, I was surprised by how puzzle-heavy the game is. The difficulty is optimal - the puzzles require some brain cells to awaken but don't make you pull out your hair, but after a while they get a little repetitive. There isn't much of a story as well, so it's fitting that the game takes only about 5-6 hours to complete - otherwise it would get too tedious. Although I generally don't consider collectibles in reviews, in this game they felt quite forced and infantile, or in other words, like a filler that doesn't really add to the experience. Overall the game was pleasing enough for those 5-odd hours, but isn't worth dying for.
Creaks is a very innovative an experimental puzzle game that is challenging, fun and relaxing. It definitely stands out for its art style and soundtrack. On the negative side, it is very short, repetitive, and has no depth in the story or characters. I mention this because it was a missed opportunity but I understand how difficult it is to develop a game. Definitely don't miss out on this one. I love all of Amanita Designs’ work.
After you pass the first 4 or 5 scenes you basically get the idea and it can turn boring if you are used to a lot more action. The controls are very simple. I wouldn't say it is easy, but it is not that hard for the average puzzle gamer, which is the main demo in the first place. It managed to keep me playing for 6 hours straight until I unlocked everything. It is very short. I wanted to see more in this universe. There are some secrets that add nothing to the plot or the game and only slow you down. If you were just to play the actual game (without the movies), you would finish it in under 3 hours. Honestly, it has no replay value in my book. Unlike other Amanita Designs’ work like Machinarium. I remember I used to play that game over 6 times.
If I had to give them score for some relevant features it would look like this:
5/5 Art Style
5/5 Soundtrack
3/5 Story
0/5 Unlockables
0/5 Replayability
SummaryJust a few minutes into Creaks, you will bump into some strange barking creatures in the mansion’s dark corridors. But are they as dangerous as they seem? Try to get them trapped under a beam of light and take a closer look. You may find out that what felt dangerous is a simple night table. Turning these creatures into ordinary objects i...
