GRIS Reviews

Boring as hell. Great art style doesn't make a good game. Just running around collecting dots with unskippable cutscenes. I'm returning this with the other award winning game Neva that I assume is similar. The mainstream will call a game amazing because it looks pretty even though it barely has any gameplay. A lot of people love this but I'm 15 minutes in and falling asleep.

Great Game Might be a allegory for something but idk bout all dat. i just open it and go to sleep because the music is really Good , i would say for its price its a great game, i was just not moved or something as everyone was saying ... oh yea The artsyle is realy good too , the water colour Style is cool, i would say a 7/10 dont be mad cuz low score and lemme sleep *mimimimimimi*

More than just a game, [i]GRIS[/i] is an artistic masterpiece that depicts the five stages of grief through a breathtaking visual and emotional journey. Each stage is beautifully represented through color, seamlessly blending art, storytelling and emotion. With its unique art style and beautifully composed soundtrack, [i]GRIS[/i] transcends traditional gaming, offering an experience that feels more like interactive art in its purest form.

Controller not working, works in all other games - according to a lot of users you have to unplug/uninstall any other inputs/controllers, sometimes even your keyboard. Hard pass on that, fix your game's input detection, no excuse when no other game has this issue. For this type of game I'd rather play on controller and just sit back and relax, I'd recommend it otherwise.

Absolutely stunning! The art style is breathtaking, the music is beautiful, and the gameplay is surprisingly engaging. A short but unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!

first you must bleed until you are nothing but ash then you must green until your roots speak then you must storm for all that you lost until you have nothing left only then, can you embrace the night in darkness anything is possible the universe is asking are you ready to take the leap of faith into the unknown she has been waiting calling, saying I know you where have you been for so long

the atmosphere of this game is amazing ,this game is so emotional and the soundtracks makes the game even more enjoyable.

A masterpiece of art The stages are truly unique, the colors of the game, the art of the game are perfect

Gris is an artistic masterclass. Visually it's nothing short of stunning. With watercolor style, hand-drawn animations, players have the impression of navigating a dreamy, living piece of art. While the design is simple, the attention to detail is breathtaking. Initially the game is devoid of colours, but as players progress, more colours are added to the palette, enlivening the world. Art is integral to the narrative as visual and environmental cues drive the story forward, as opposed to dialogue. Gris is a young woman who is dealing with major sorrow and loss, and as players progress through the game they'll encounter the different stages of grief and figure out how to overcome them. Another standout feature of this title is the soundtrack; emotional, impactful, and fittingly complements the journey. Gris is a short adventure that doesn't overstay its welcome. It's an almost meditative experience and is digital art in its highest form.

"Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions." [i]GRIS[/i] is a platform-adventure game developed by Nomada Studio and published by Devolver Digital. [b]Story[/b] In GRIS you play as titular Gris, young girl that finds herself lost after suffering a loss of important person in her life. Full of hope, she embarks on a journey across memories to grow up and learn how to deal with aftermath of recent tragedy. [b]Gameplay[/b] GRIS is a 2D title where you control Gris across her voyage that will take you through multiple areas, with central tower serving as a hub. It comes with a very simple gameplay core, as most of it is build on platformer sections. You will make your way through locations by collecting star-looking lights that create paths, by utilizing abilities to pass multiple types of obstacles and with simple puzzle every once in a while thrown into the mix. At the start you are only able to jump, but with each area you visit, you unlock new power that expands upon the gameplay and therefore platformic sections, letting you glide or swim! Each area comes with some unique aspect to stand out from one another, whether it is a need to escort a little character or strong winds that are capable of pushing you around, but ultimately gameplay is quite simple. On your journey you can find side collectibles, secret items called mementos hidden behind slightly more challenging platformic sections! [b]Playtime and replayability[/b] GRIS takes from 2 to 4 hours to complete depending on your pace and desire to seek side collectibles. You can give it another go to appreciate visuals and to collect all mementos! [b]Impressions[/b] From first minutes you spend in the game you can tell what GRIS strikes for: Emotions. Quick and brutal opening to set up the story followed up by first area and reaching the hub shows off what game will be about. Gameplay wise game is...decent, but nothing special. Quite slow paced, with platforming sections not providing much of a challenge though some variety if offers from design of areas is appreciated, while puzzles are very simple. Nonetheless it is not even close to being a must play platformer. I would say the best word to sum gameplay up is "melancholic" to fit into rest of the game. And that rest of the game is where GRIS shines. In an amazing, minimalistic way may I add. Not a word of dialogue in the game but environmental storytelling does all the carrying so those who will pay even minimal attention to game will know what it's about. Not even in a subtle way, addition (or rediscovery) of colours in the areas, unlocking abilities to explore further sections, first few minutes of the game as mentioned before, the "hub area", it's all perfectly crafted to create narrative of GRIS. I personally believe it's one of the most beautiful games out there if we talk purely about visuals. Usage of watercolours with Art Nouveau style is a great decision, as each area with it's different environment looks absolutely marvelous. To that you have great soundtrack composed by Berlinist that adds up to often calm, melancholic feel of the game, but also provides few different tunes when themes or pace of the game change. Perhaps nowadays as few good years have passed since release, game might not be considered as good as back then due to increased amount of similar, emotional titles, but I disagree. I believe the simplicity of gameplay, themes and narrative it provides together with wonderful audiovisual side make it still for a perfect game to play for everyone that aged like finest wine, whether you seek something emotional, beautiful, or perhaps a gateway towards more "artistic" titles that gaming industry is full off! Goes without saying I adore this game and I recommend it highly. [b]Final words and conclusion[/b] You can buy Soundtrack DLC to further support developers! GRIS is an absolute marvel of a game. Beautiful, minimalistic, emotional tale of rediscovering yourself and finding hope after a tragic loss. Cannot recommend it enough.
