    Sanat tasarımı ve renk paleti olarak oynadığım en iyi oyunlardan. Hiç diyalog ve combat olmadan bu denli hisli bir oyun yapabilmek hakikaten takdire şayan.

    GRAFIKA MUZYKA
    Nikogo już chyba nie dziwi to że gierka indie może mieć świetną dopracowaną grafikę. Nie inaczej jest w Gris Śliczna kreska, troche takie anime, trochę taka chińska bajka ala muminki, Wszystko ukolorowane trchniką watercolor. O kolorach jeszcze coś powiem ale w tym akapicie sie na tym zatrzymajmy. Muzyka przyjemna, idealna pasująca do tego co dzieje sie na ekranie.    8/10

    NARRACJA
    Dzieło Nomadów korzysta z bardzo lubianej przezemnie techniki - narracja bez słów. W trakcie grania jedyny napis jaki zobaczycie to "Nowa gra" w menu głównym. Części z was być może będzie dane zobaczyć "kontynyuj" aczkolwiek gra starcza na około 4h zabawy a wciąga na tyle mocno że zrobienie jej na raz nie jest żadnym wyczynem. Historia głównie jest nam opowiadana w cutscenakach aczkolwiek wiele rzeczy sami możemy sie dowiedzieć po przez eksplorację.
    ŚWIAT
    Jest to świetnie zrealizowany temat. Na początku świat zdaje się być bezsensowny, nudny, niespójny. Szybko jednak okazuje się, że mamy doczynienia z dynamicznie zmieniającym się otoczeniem. W trakcie gry odblokowujemy kolory, które diametralnie zmieniają wygląd i układ przestrzeni.(np odblokowanie koloru niebieskiego dodaje nam wszedzie wodę, która pozwala nam dostać się we wcześniej niedostępne miejsca.)
    DEPRESJA
    Gris nie boi się pokazywać drażliwych tematów. Nie chcę za bardzo spoilerować, bo najlepiej takie rzeczy doświadczać samemu. Nakieruje was tylko zebyście się skupili na grze i rozkładali ją na czynniki pierwsze, analizowali. Myślę że każda nastoletnia osoba może coś dla siebie wyciągnąć.    … Expand

    Tek bir yayında biten, ortalama 3.30 saatlik oynama süresine sahip güzel bir oyun. Hikaye anlatımı, görseller ve müzikler muhteşem. Fakat hikaye anlatımının güzel olmasının yanında, hikayenin kendisi biraz eksik kalıyor. Fakat bu eksiği hikaye anlatımı, ses ve görüntüleri ile kapatmayı başarıyor.

    The music is the best thing about this game. The art is good and some small "puzzles" were cool. There is nothing more to say. The story you will guessing it by yourself of what it might be. So its hard to say if it was good or bad.

    I would recommend it if you are a fan of such games.

    GRIS offers basic platforming and few easy puzzles here and there, but the game's superiority lies elsewhere. GRIS is less a game and more an art. Both the soundtrack, visuals and dream-like landscapes are breathtaking. The atmosphere feels out of this world and GRIS can truly be classified as art.

    This game is beautiful. I think it should be tried by anyone who is not against a slow floaty (dreamy) puzzle platformer.
    To me it feels like style over substance, but that is not really the case since new mechanics and locations are introduced deliberately spaced out, so you can soak in the atmosphere. This is the 2d equivalent of Journey

    While being astoundingly beautiful, Gris doesn't go very deep, neither into its gameplay nor in exploring the story and themes. It's a serene and mesmerizing experience that struggles to realize its potential as a game.

    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.

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

    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
