    A true indie gem.

    Gris is a wonderful, gorgeous puzzle-platformer with a unique art-style, a phenomenal score and a powerful yet subtle message. I was engaged from start to finish, unable to set it down (though I hadn't planned to play through an entire game in one sitting.) The ending is surprisingly poignant for a game with no dialogue and no text. The journey to that ending is endlessly creative and fun.

    Such is the quality of Gris’s visual art that replaying it struck me as a mandatory indulgence. I think the entirety of its composition demands to be seen.

    Gris is a beautiful experience that will be well-regarded for it's visuals, themes, and game design for years to come.

    An interesting allegorical journey to overcome our inner traumas that is quite open to interpretation in a way that it will be possible to be meaningful in different ways to each player, according to their own experiences. Even if it doesn’t manage to draw you with its symbolic tale, Gris may still convince you for a short, albeit, beautifully designed world.

    A week or so removed from playing Gris, I don’t know what I’ll remember it for, if at all. Gris feels like it almost belongs in a museum, with crowds marveling at its art and sound for a few minutes, before moving on to something else. There are moments of beautiful brilliance in Gris, all of which are dragged down by a decidedly average platforming game.

    Besides a rather simple gameplay and pretty short game time, this is without a doubt the most beautiful game I’ve ever seen. The music, theBesides a rather simple gameplay and pretty short game time, this is without a doubt the most beautiful game I’ve ever seen. The music, the art style and the aesthetics as a whole, mix in a unique way. Everything works as intended, not much as a “fun game”, but as an incredible and gorgeous experience, telling a story without saying anything, and evoking emotion in a passionately, yet not throwing subtlety and detail away.

    If you enjoy games as both a way to have fun and as an art, you’re are gonna absolutely love GRIS. Ps: I would recommend buying it on a sale, but only because of the overall playtime.    … Expand

    If there was no such word as beautiful, I would still call this game beautiful.

    Lo    A medio camino entre una experiencia audiovisual y un plataformas.
    Gris es un juego indie del equipo español de Nómada Studios.

    Lo primero que llama la atención es su estilo artístico a base de acuarelas, el paisaje y los distintos elementos y personajes que encontramos tienen un diseño impecable y precioso. Cada segundo del gameplay es una obra de arte que fusiona la música con los gráficos y la jugabilidad de una manera que no había visto antes.

    No tiene diálogos ni textos por lo que la historia queda completamente sujeta a nuestra interpretación de las distintas pistas que el juego nos coloca en el camino. Basándome en mi interpretación y la opinión de otras personas con las que he podido hablar de ello, la temática principal me resulta muy apropiada y le aporta un toque de sentimiento que puede llegar a conectar con muchos jugadores. Personalmente, me hubiera gustado que quedara mas claro en el juego y que no estuviera abierto a tanta interpretación.

    En cuanto a la jugabilidad, hay momentos en los que se juntan todos los elementos del juego y crean experiencias increíbles, sin embargo en otras ocasiones los puzzles o las plataformas suponen un inconveniente para la fluidez de la experiencia. Los controles y las mecánicas están muy bien diseñadas pero creo que el juego no tiene claro su objetivo a la hora de presentar los distintos niveles.

    En conclusión, es una experiencia de unas 4 o 5 horas, que reivindica la belleza en todas sus formas a la vez que nos plantea un mensaje emotivo (sujeto a interpretación).

    Lo recomiendo a cualquier persona, creo que todo el mundo puede y debería disfrutar de este juego.
