- Creaks stands out by its beautiful art style, especially when it comes to the various paintings found throughout the mansion. Amanita Design has made a puzzle game that offers just enough accessible cerebral challenges. Though by no means a poorly constructed piece of software, Creaks’ minimalist approach to gameplay is entertaining in the moment but doesn’t quite leave much of a lasting impression.
Allen · Aug 04, 2020 Reviewed on PS4 - Creaks is a game that doesn’t necessarily bring anything new to the genre, but it will still captivate you regardless. Taking around five hours to complete, it’s just long enough to deliver a satisfying experience without overstaying its welcome. I do wish there was a little more in the way of puzzle variety, but overall it’s well worth the journey.
Heidi Hawes · Jul 31, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - In just a few hours, Creaks puts together a worthwhile experience that might not push boundaries but is definitely worth a look for those craving a lovable puzzler.
Matt Bianucci · Jul 31, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Along the way we meet several other characters that again are wordless, yet wonderfully expressive thanks to the animation. The art style is also excellent, with a hand drawn, almost sketchbook look to the world and characters. Add in some excellent music and it’s a combination that really captures the attention, and sucks us into the world.
Jamie Collyer · Jul 30, 2020 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Fans of clever puzzles and masterfully told dark fairytales will delight in Creaks. Bursting with atmosphere and quirky style, Amanita's latest is full of clever puzzles and wordless storytelling. Its distinctive flavour won't be to everyone's taste, but this is an impeccably told fairytale that will also give your brain a thorough workout.
Jon Mundy · Jul 26, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Overall, Creaks is simply a joy. From its intricately hand-drawn graphics to its imaginative world filled to the brim with gloriously bizarre sights and curious characters, it's packed with creative energy and fun. That creativity also yields increasingly tricky puzzles, but they’re so cleverly designed that they’ll have you scratching your head rather than tearing your hair out.
Peter Mattsson · Jul 17, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Creaks is a wonderfully atmospheric game that is ingenious in its execution, with a unique art style and excellent sound design. The sheer number of mind-teasing puzzles can be a little relentless at times, but the way that the game's systems evolve and interact with each other over time is incredibly impressive. If you have any love for brain teasers, you should probably consider picking it up.
Matt Lorrigan · Jul 17, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Creaks is one of PS4's very best games of 2020 so far. Its commitment to continually evolving its mechanics makes for a phenomenal puzzling experience packed full of surprises and elating moments. With a stunning art style to boot as well as a narrative which reveals itself in all the right ways, Creaks offers an unforgettable ride that can be considered truly special.
Liam Croft · Jul 16, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Visually striking and mentally satisfying, Creaks is a puzzle platformer that fully embraces its oddball nature. Some control and pacing niggles aside, it’s a bright new genre entry, sure to have extra appeal for people with darker, cerebral tastes in entertainment.
Noelle Adams · Jul 16, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Creaks renovates a well-worn genre, delivering one of the most satisfying indie puzzle-platformers in some time. Between its stunning visual and audio design, absorbing world, and perfectly-balanced puzzles, it’s hard to find serious fault with any part of this game’s construction. If you’re a fan of puzzles or Amanita Design’s past games, you need to grab a flashlight and delve in.
