Review: Blek (Wii U)

Blek is a unique, award-winning game about imagination and personality. Everything you draw keeps moving – and watching your creations move is like watching magic.

Pros:

• Graphics are does,  just does.  High Def does but does none the less.
• Gameplay is mirrored on TV and gamepad.
• Puzzle gameplay. Make/draw lines, shapes etc and hit all coloured does while avoiding the black dots.
• Control is all done with the stylus. You can draw straight lines, curves, waves and anything else. Once drawn the design will move across the screen.
• Really clever game.
• You can replay older levels by hitting the back arrow.
• Small file size.
• Simple abstract music.

Cons:

• No tutorial.
• No front end or menu at all.
• You cannot skip levels.
• Very basic in every way.

In Summary, this is a prime example of keeping it simple.  With no UI or front end at all,  It’s just you and the game and that works so well. I really like the control idea and it works. It’s a small cheap game but offers hours of play. It is a good work out for the brain. In short, style wins over substance in this game and it’s a nice little puzzle game that is worth a look.
