    GRIS is best experienced as single-sitting five-hour adventure and after that there's nothing more to do really do with the game. The puzzles are a lot less engaging on repeat and the world is very linear. In every other aspect though GRIS is a masterpiece in visualization and atmospheric storytelling.

    GRIS is not only a perfectly designed puzzle-platformer, it's a title that whisks the player away on a journey of colorful catharsis. Surprises are waiting around every corner of this ever-evolving world, and its stride remains strong, from the onset until the very end.

    A beautifully designed platform adventure with quite a few surprises and good ideas, making this a playable artwork that will not leave you untouched.

    Like a playable painting of ink and pigment, GRIS is a powerful and significant game, even if the visual art often overshadows the actual play.

    An absolutely gorgeous work of art that everyone should experience at some point. [Issue #39 – May/June 2019, p. 23]

    In its 3-4 hour playtime, GRIS won’t change the way you think about platformers, but with such a beautiful hand-painted art style and haunting score, it’s an exquisite mini masterpiece that heals the soul.

    Almost universal admiration for Gris says a lot about the condition of video games industry. It’s just a 2D platformer devoid of any challenge, and instead of evoking true feeling it makes a good first impression (“wow, it’s beautiful!”) and then just glides for a couple of hours using that momentum. It doesn’t actually have anything important to say, it’s just pretty. [02/2019, p.56]

Its gameplay is entertaining, its music is enveloping and beautiful, and at no time does its splendor stop.

    It has a very detailed art style, which you notice the love they put into this game.

    Not only is it beautiful, but it is also very fun. What a great game. Made by a talented Spanish studio.

    Totally recommended.    … Expand

It isn't an incredibly complicated, involved game, but it is an incredibly beautiful and emotional one. I wish there were more games like this.… Expand

    One of the best games I have ever played visually speaking. Highly recommended to play it on a big screen. It is like a playable work or art.

    ok...

    if i could give -10 it would be now... in this game there is no challenge you only walk straight and jump... and no you can not    ok...

    if i could give -10 it would be now...

    in this game there is no challenge you only walk straight and jump... and no you can not die... there is no goal... no rules... no purpose... no challenge... is simply boring... it is a waste of money (30 USD) that you could spend in something else (like a real game). i would understand this ""thing"" as a flash online FREE game but (i repeat) 30 USD for basically less than 3 hours absolutely not... and do not come at me with the sad story of the protagonist... adding a sad story to a character does not condone for making sh*t and pass it for a VIDEOGAME. period. oh and also guess what... you have Android or Huawei... well you cant play this game... only for iPhone and iPad... this makes me even more angry... like who the f*uk uses apple anymore...

    Edit: i forgot to say that if you want to know the history of the protagonist you have to go on the wiki because there are no dialogues and from the game itself you can't understand the story

    i am sorry if i made any mistakes English is not my first language i am Italian    … Expand
