Haak PROS
1. Fantastic visuals. Game looks great, feels great, animation is fantastic and smooth. It is easy to see that a lot of work has been put into making the game look good.
2. Sound design. Haak have great ambient sounds, music during intense fights and sfx that are pleasant to the ear on activities like weapon swinging, using skill or even opening a store terminal
3. Storyline. Haak is an exception from the most platformer games, it have great engaging story and fun dialogues. Curious characters and intriguing post-apocalyptic setting. Its interesting to read dialogues and learn what happened to the world. And there is always a skip button for people who doesnt want that.
4. Solid progression mechanics. A lot of upgrades for all your weapons and skills. Its uncommon in platformers, but Haak made it all right. Collecting resources for the upgrades, health and energy upgrades and more will fill your need for the character progression.
Haak CONS
1. Horrible controls at the boss fights. Controls overlay, and fingers that are pressing them are closing about 50% of the screen in the boss fights. This prevents you from properly avoiding and countering boss attacks. For the most of the game your character is in the middle of the screen, but on the boss fights you have fixed “camera” and your character runs around the boss room.
2. AD on each death. Haak is a pretty hardcore experience. You will die and you will die a lot. And after every death you will be forced to watch a 30-second ad. It can be mitigated by either being good at the game or buying it though.
Haak Verdict
Overall with all Pros and Cons considered Haak is still a fantastic game. Specifically if you buy it to avoid ads upon death. If you have external controller it will be even better. Its pretty great that its available for free for all the players to try it and decide if they want to buy it or not.We hope that this Haak review helped you to learn something new about the game or make up your mind about buying it.

So, a platformer that's got the looks and the vibes, but wants us to play finger Twister during boss fights? Classic. 😂 At least hooking up an external controller can save the day. Cheers for the heads-up – love knowing what I'm getting into before I hit that download button! 🎮👍
