    It's more art project than game. A short 2D walking simulator with some very light puzzle solving.

    GRIS is pretty to look at, but the gameplay doesn't accomplish anything other than leading the player through its world.

    Why some indie video game developers seems to be "ashamed" about making a video game?

They focused on designing a "beautiful game" and they forgot to make a video game. The narcotic gameplay is nothing but a cliché of any platformer/metroidvania game, but way simpler and flavourless. Undertale showed that a lower-budget indie game can be a game with a simple but interesting gameplay mechanics, a storytelling that could leave you with tears in your eyes, an excellent OST and a charming artistic style.

    This game failed to be a Journey' wannabe.    … Expand

    The best purchase this year, alongside with Unavowed and Pillars of eternity 2.

    An empty but beautiful music box.
    The beauty and emotional value are being held back by the gameplay mechanics. There are better ways to tell the story of search and sacrifice but through the simplistic puzzles that don't fit the narrative.

    This game is so pretty that it deserves a minimum of a 5/10 just for the art. But everything else ranges from mediocre to astonishingly boring.

    There other games that are just or nearly as beautiful while managing to have engaging gameplay and a more engrossing story. The whole thing feels like a sophomore art project with too much funding: "There's a sad girl and her whole world is grey but you can bring the color and music back into her life". The decision to hide major story information behind a collectathon that you can't even complete without a walkthrough or a second playthrough is really annoying, and stops me from recommending Gris even to fans of indie walking simulators. As it stands I can only recommend it to people who want to walk through a painting and don't care for story or challenge.    … Expand

    Such a moving game, the music is top notch, i went to this game expecting it to be boring but at the end I had tears in my eyes. I read somewhere that this game is a representation of a girl who lost her best-friend and never got over her loss. The music alone got this game a 10/10

    Yes,pretty good visuals,okay i'll give you the atmosphere too,and the sounds+music overall.
    But personally i don't like is as a game,definitely a piece of art but not a game that'll make you DO something.
    Don't be fooled by the score it is still a pretty good experience.

Я даже не ожидал такого, я не был к этому готов, а ведь я взрослый человек, который повидал многое. Вообще в начале показалось: "ну да, красиво, но это же симулятор ходьбы"... Как же я был неправ, какое это было примитивное мнение, основанное на неуместных сравнениях. Минут через 20 от него не осталось и следа. Кто переживает за геймплей - не беспокойтесь, по мере прохождения появляется кое-какая сложность. Но вообще эта игра не про набивание комбо на клавишах. Поймите, это искусство. Это высокая поэзия, исполненная в виде игры. Вы встречаете в ней такие образы и эмоции, что вам потом будет несколько дней стыдно и кисло от других игр. Кому кажется, что тут мало активностей - а что, надо было дать героине в руки плазмоган? Да прекратите, подобное звучит в данном контексте просто пошло. Эта игра - совершенно потрясающий опыт, который надо пережить. Отказаться от него - это обокрасть себя. Это шедевр. Он повлиял на меня. Мои сны захватил на несколько дней. Со мной такое было всего несколько раз в жизни.
    Не представляю, кому эта игра может не понравиться. Только если людям без сердца.

    Некоторые пишут с язвительностью, что вот мол игра является клоном "Journey" и "Ori". Господа хорошие, автор сам ни разу этого не скрывал и честно говорил об этом. Но есть определенная грань, отделяющая плагиат от развития идей. Если кто-то придумал рисовать красками, значит ли это, что никто больше не должен этого делать? Если кто-то написал сонет о любви или о смерти - только за ним осталось это право? Продать под своим именем чужую историю - величайшая подлость творца, но развивать чьи-то идеи, использовать изобретенные ранее приемы - это и есть природа искусства. Здесь автор запретную черту ни разу не пересекал, не юродствуйте. Эта история и эти образы уникальны.

    И еще. Этой игре никогда не нужен будет ремастер. Даже если ее запустят через тысячу лет, через десять тысяч – она будет такой же прекрасной и ее будут так же проходить с блестящими глазами, вы только вдумайтесь в это.    … Expand

    Gris is a game that is trying really hard to be art.

    This is unfortunate, because it is neither very good as a game nor very good as a work of art. The problem is, a game needs to be engaging, but Gris is not very engaging.

    This is unfortunate, because it is neither very good as a game nor very good as a work of art.

    The problem is, a game needs to be engaging, but Gris is not very engaging. The simple 2D platforming that makes up the gameplay doesn’t do anything novel, and the game mechanics don’t feel like they have anything to do with Gris’s theme of dealing with grief. Instead, the main character can jump, turn into a block to smash fragile ground, swim, double jump and glide, hop off of small clouds of birds to propel herself higher (only where they are available in the environment), or sing and make flowers bloom or turn on stuff.

    Yay.

    The singing is the closest thing to something that ties into the theme of grief, as you sing to yourself to soothe yourself, but… that’s about it.

    But the worst of it is that there’s nothing really here gameplay wise. Everything here has been done before, better, in other games, and the main character isn’t particularly agile nor exciting to control. The level design, too, while aesthetically pleasing, doesn’t feel like it does anything novel, nor is it particularly difficult, meaning it cannot challenge you on that axis either.

    Instead, it simply… is.

    And while acceptable, serviceable gameplay is alright if you have a really knock it out of the park story, this game’s story barely exists at all. And this is the problem:

    A work of art needs to say something, but Gris does not.

    Gris simply IS. And while it’s okay to have some pretty abstract thing, something that you’re going to sit in front of for several hours needs to do more than be aesthetically appealing, it needs to have some point. But Gris does not. Grief is a process.

    Yeah, I know. But… okay? What do you have to say about grief?

    Nothing. The story is extremely vague and abstract, and the main character is so vague as to not really be much of a character at all. Saying they’re even one-dimensional is generous, given there is no dialogue and we are given little to no context for most of the game.

    Thus, Gris fails on both fronts – it isn’t a fun game to play, and it isn’t a meaningful work of art that moves you. While it may be aesthetically pleasing, it’s hollow and empty, and doesn’t have anything to say.

    You might send about four hours or so beating this game, but I couldn’t recommend spending the time on it even if you got it for free; there’s just better things to do that will leave more of an impact on you.    … Expand

Apart from the main gameplay and objectives, there are also bonus, optional items that can be collected, which is a great addition.

    Speaking of art, that‘s definitely the highlight of the game. The visuals look really great, the way how the main character‘s looks change when using her abilities is just gorgeous and some levels have fantastic contrast and visual designs which look great on a big high contrast screen, like an OLED or similar. The music is equally great and contributes a lot of the emotions invoked by the game.

    The game is not perfect: At times, the colors on screen make it hard to figure out what is what. Also, the puzzles get a little too convoluted towards the end for my taste. Overall though, the game offers quite an unique, emotional and enjoyable experience, somewhat similar to Journey. Since it takes only about 3 to 4 hours, I would definitely recommend to give it a try, though I would not call it a must-play.    … Expand

    The reason why I only gave GRIS an 8 is because although it was a nice adventure, that's all it was. There wasn't really anything more to give it that "Wow!" factor. The game feels like an overall better version of FEZ, with similar mechanics but a better story and atmosphere.    … Expand

    I absolutely loved playing through this game, the art, music, and overall art direction is just so incredible. This game really is an artistic masterpiece. My only real gripes with it is that the real-world meaning of the game (overcoming grief) wasn't done as well as other parts of the game, and the platforming controls/physics engine didn't feel as good as other platformers I've played.

    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.

    Gris is a masterpiece. The artstyle and music are unmatched and something we need more of. The game is all about exploration, light platforming and puzzles. These are light and simple yet well designed and never boring. The pacing and flow is good. Personally, I wish they could evolve the game to include more challenging, fast, fluid platforming as well as possibly combat, just like HollowGris is a masterpiece.

This game is no an exception: Incredibly stylish and beautiful picture with a verified style. It would seem that there are only continuous lines, circles and extremely simple silhouettes... but how pleasant it is to be in the World of this filigree minimalistic adventure... Normal sounding of the environment, and VERY pleasant music... The first half of the game is extremely simple and straightforward. But from the second half, more interesting moments and riddles begin. But due to the fact that the whole game is like an interactive picture, the first half is not boring. It is pleasant and interesting to just look at, and listen to it.
    The plot of the game tells about the psychological problems of the main character, in a
    philosophically drawn World. Something like that... and throughout the game we help her overcome this, learning some skills, exploring this "inner World" of her. You could say, as some wrote, that this is a "Girly Game", well... if you are a man-lumberjack-with-a-beard, or you only like action, shooters, epic and etc. - yes, this is a "Girly game" ...For those who are open to emotions, who like something unusual - this is a small and very beautiful game-play art, which I strongly advise to acquire and play.

Creo que en unaLlevaba tiempo detrás de este juego, desde que se anunció ya que mezcla tres de las cosas que más me gustan: puzzles, se centra en la historia incluso hay partes que es un poco walking simulator y la estética. Al principio decían que tenía algunos pequeños problemas pero creo que tras las últimas actualizaciones ya está todo perfectamente pulido, yo no he encontrado nada. Creo que en una ocasión el personaje hizo un amago de quedarse atascado pero moverse y saltar lo resolvió sin problemas.

    El juego es precioso y emotivo, tengo pendiente buscar alguna reseña del significado a ver si coincide con lo que yo he interpretado, pero lo que más me ha sorprendido es que sobreviviera al hype que me había creado ya que todo el mundo lo pone por las nubes. La estética y la música están muy cuidadas, pero lo que más me ha sorprendido es la jugabilidad y las mecánicas: con solo dos botones llegas a tener varias habilidades diferentes y son todas lógicas y se van desbloqueando según avanza la historia como si fuera un metroidvania. Pese a no tener ningún tipo de indicación nunca me he perdido hay muchas veces hay varias opciones y el juego apenas te explica conceptos, deja que los vayas aprendiendo y entendiendo por tu cuenta. Alguna vez he estado desorientado pero no he sentido lo típico de que estaba dando vueltas en círculos o que no sabía que hacer, está muy estudiado que los elementos te vayan marcando los caminos.

    Me ha sorprendido en muchas ocasiones de eso de dejarte con la boca abierta y la mandíbula desencajada por los giros que va tomando el juego tanto en la narrativa como en la jugabilidad que van muy de la mano, me encanta como va evolucionando el entorno onírico en el que te mueves según vas avanzando en la historia. No podía dejar de sacar pantallazos intentando capturar esa sensación que me transmitía.

    Me han gustado mucho los logros, porque todos son muy obvios pero la mayoría requieren mucho trabajo y atención al detalle, gracias a ellos volveré a jugarlo. Y es muy probable que se lo deje a mis sobrinos a ver si les engancha ya que disfrutaron mucho Abzû y AER, creo que tiene la dificultad justa y habiéndolo acabado les puedo ayudar.

    Dura unas 3 horas para acabarlo, supongo que los logros me llevarán bastante más incluso con ayuda de guías ya que hay varios que dependen de la habilidad y no te acumula la tarea, lo tienes que hacer todo seguido.

    Yo lo compré al 50% en las rebajas de Otoño/Black Friday pero creo que lo merece incluso a precio completo. Al menos mi experiencia ha sido inolvidable, creo que es el juego más completo que he jugado este año y que me permitiera acabarlo sin frustrarme demasiado.    … Expand

After landing, she continues walking forward and discovers a number of strange structures that seem to be powered by mysterious points of light resembling stars. Gris can collect these lights to gain new abilities, such as turning into a heavy block of stone, and creating new pathways made of constellations.… Expand

    What a game ! This is an artistic masterpiece. It felt like an opera play, I wanted to stand up and clap in the end.

    One of the most visually rich games I have ever played, simply amazing. The subjectivity in the story makes the experience very individual and unique, I loved the game.

    Um dos jogos mais visualmente ricos que ja joguei na vida, simplesmente incrível. A subjetividade na história do jogo torna a experiência muito individual e única, amei o jogo.

    Artistically this game is great. It looks superb and the music fits.

    The whole game is quite atmosperic, but also the world is repetitive and kind of lifeless. It would be nice to immerse yourself in a beatiful living world with the atmosphere and art style of GRIS, but the story and gameplay just don't deliver that.

    It is a platform with light puzzles and an incredible artistic bias.

    I didn't understand anything about the story but the final cutscene is very good.

    Level design good in general and even innovative in some points. However, for some moments that you just walk, I'm not talking about the beautiful contemplative moments, I'm just talking about corridors or straight floors.

    Probably one of the most delightful visual experiences in PC. This game is proof that video games can count as art. There is no complicated or surrounding gameplay but the atmosphere worths everything.

    Игра просто невероятная.
    Интересная прорисовка, захватывающий сюжет, разнообразие игровых механик. Я получила невероятное удовольствия и точно рекомендую каждому)

    Este juego nos muestra de nueva cuenta como el videojuego puede llegar a ser un medio de expresión artístico. Con una gran banda sonora, siendo el videojuego visualmente mas hermoso jamás creado y con una historia que queda a nuestra imaginación pero que de algún modo logra llegarte al alma, "gris" se convierte en una obra maestra del videojuego que todo el mundo debería jugar.

    GRIS is more a visual art piece about conveying emotion from the artistic display.
    Because of this, we get a rather symbolic narrative expressing stages of 'grief'. This game has very simplistic platforming to help add interactivity with this experience that you take part in.

    I personally respect this piece of material greatly. I found it to be moving, beautiful, something of what i would call religious inexperience.

    Highly recommended for those wanting to try something different and more of a visual treat then mechanical masterpiece.    … Expand

    Great game, and like many have said, it's a beautiful experience, although at the beginning felt like a bit of a slog, and near the final area the game started feeling a bit pandered, generally speaking Gris is a fantastic experience that serves as a shot of emotion to the senses, both because of how visually striking it is, but also because of how enjoyable it is to play and to listen to.Great game, and like many have said, it's a beautiful experience, although at the beginning felt like a bit of a slog, and near the final area the game started feeling a bit pandered, generally speaking Gris is a fantastic experience that serves as a shot of emotion to the senses, both because of how visually striking it is, but also because of how enjoyable it is to play and to listen to.

    The game uses its level design, and simplicity in its mechanics to create something truly special, it uses a combination of several tools in its design to make you be observant, to attempt to find solutions in places where you usually wouldn't look.

    The game doesn't help you any more than that, making you feel satisfied whenever you find the solution by yourself, the only time this didn't flow nearly as well, was near the end where I arrived at the final segment of the game but I was still missing some "stars" that were needed for me to progress, forcing me to backtrack for a bit, but either way, this is a very enjoyable experience, and a very enjoyable game.    … Expand

    Relatively short but still good. It would get a higher score (at least a 9) if it was more complex in a sense of not only more levels but also more complex mechanics (exploration didn't feel that rewarding because of that lack of complexity but it was still great).

    GRIS is a beautiful game with relaxing soundtrack and visuals and a deep story and some creative and fresh puzzle designs. The game might not be for everyone, and it can get stalled at times but overall, it's a beautiful 2d platformer worth the try.

    Puzzles and platforming are well conceived. Levels are generally a joy to explore, but also have some frustrating one-way points where you can't go back and check for secrets -- this means when you come to a fork, you have a 50% chance of permanently missing something.

    Lastly, there are only a few things your character ever interacts with -- it's mainly just her wandering through some highly symbolic dream-like environments. Unfortunately, neither the sparse inhabitants nor the puzzles seem to share the symbolic theme -- so things boil down to "smash the floor in a desert level", then "smash the floor in a water level", etc.. I wish each level had some kind of symbolic puzzle / creature which the player had to overcome, calm, or befriend -- concrete positive steps to counter-balance all the other (visually stunning) symbolic images of loss, hopelessness, fear, and impotence.

    If the design team were to address this handful of points, this could easily be a game of the decade in its class.    … Expand

    Gris evokes memories of Disney's Fantasia, a wordless animated movie which creates an exciting audiovisual experience by combining colors and music.
