    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.

    Elegant, simple, colourful and artistic to a fault, this simple puzzle-platformer will take your breath away from start to finish.

    First,    Elegant, simple, colourful and artistic to a fault, this simple puzzle-platformer will take your breath away from start to finish.

    First, the art style. Reminescent of Moebieus cum Manara in its curvaceousness or characters.

    Second, the abstraction of the art style with brilliant use of the colour palette is better than Wassily Kandinski and others we won't mention. Granted, they copied, but proper modern art is standing on the shoulders of giants, and Nomada Studio has dnoe so masterfully.

    Third, the level design, and this is where this puzzle-platformer shines. It's always got you exploring, panning in and out of the main characters flat 2-D pixellisation. You don't know if you should go up or down, left or right, and it just accentuates the sense of vastness that this unique gem offers the player.

    Do yourself a favour, play this one. You won't be disappointed. If you are into artsy, breathy, simple puzzle platformers.    … Expand

Animation structure is great. I felt like I was traveling. Soundtrack was better than I could have imagined. BUT The game is a little short (feelsbadman) and GRIS is very easy really easy. AS A RESULT, Gris is not a game for everyone. Stay away from this game if you just love action games, FPS games. If you want to try new things, new adventures, play this beauty.… Expand
