    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.

    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.

    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.

    First of all the artistic direction in that game is one of the best i have seen in my entire gaming life , the musics , the colors , it all melts perfectly together.

    i think the pure gameplay until the last part is lacking thats the only thing that really prevent me to put higher but its a top indie game i recommend to everyone give it a shot

    mas ai... ai veio aquela cena inicial, a arte, a musica... aquilo me prendeu, tentei continuar mexendo no celular mas... parecia errado. o jogo pedia pela minha atenção.
    larguei o celular e fui jogar meu joguinho de andar e desbloquear cores por 2 horas.

    sei que pode parecer bobo para quem estiver lendo, mas pessoalmente, hoje em dia, valorizo muito uma obra de entretenimento que tem a capacidade de em meio a tanta informação, produtos e coisas para se fazer, conseguem prender sua atenção e te absorver pro mundo dela durante algumas horas, e GRIS fez isso comigo, me puxando para um mundo artístico, melancólico e lindo...

    obrigado.

    It is true: the simple gameplay is the biggest weakness of the game: It is like metroidvania but extremely simple, especially in the beginning of the game. You get more and more skills and need to solve some riddles to advance in the game. But most of the time you are just running.
    The story is unclear and weak: You see that Gris lost her voice, thats all. You dont know much about the

    The story is unclear and weak: You see that Gris lost her voice, thats all. You dont know much about the world, why you see more and more colours and so on.
    The only beauty of this game are the unique art design and the great music..
    Overall I can recommend this game, because it costs you only about 5 hours of your life to enjoy an unique art design.

    I was a fan of INSIDE and Little Nightmares they were awesome. ABZU and Journey was also very beautiful and fun. I find this on the same category but not as fun.

    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.

    I wish it had some kind of easy combat to make it a bit more fun like Ori And The Blind Forest.

    Stunningly gorgeous in terms of world design, with some of the best use of colour and geometry I've seen in a long time. However, similar to FAR: Lone Sails and INSIDE, I found the gameplay not sufficiently engaging, to the extent that I was simply bored through some sections of the game.

I can kinda understand the appeal of such "semi-idle" platformers, and certainly appreciate the art in them (I double dare anyone to claim this is not art), but I guess I just need something more to keep my brain occupied/entertained, either in terms of gameplay mechanics or story. Still, it was a wonderful experience, so I'd recommend it regardless of one's taste - at worst you'll be charmed, and at best madly in love. Expand

    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.

    Platforming game where it's nearly no actual gameplay. You basically only walk through the game, which sounds very boring, but the game presents a really good atmosphere with the beautiful graphics and the music.

    Juego muy introvertido y tremendamente disfrutable.
    Ya solo con sus melodías y los juegos de color, lo convierten en una obra única y especial.
    Absténganse los que busquen mecánicas sorprendentes o un juego vertiginoso porque no lo es. Es simplemente una obra para reencontrase con uno mismo, para tratar el duelo y la superación sin mostrarlo de forma directa. *Puntuación con respecto

    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.

    风格和音乐都很不错,光这两点我觉得就可以一个不低的分了,游戏难度偏低,平台跳跃和解密要素基本聊胜于无,确实快成了散步模拟器,游戏性低但是游戏体验除了大部分地方没有目的性以外很好

    i didn't pay much attention while playing it, so i own this game a re-play. From what i remember the visuals and the sound were amazing, besides that i didnt took into account the actual theme of the game. Might up the score after replaying it

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

    Gris' subpar gameplay feels so detached from the rest of experience that one must question why bothered making it a videogame.

    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.

    Every time I play a game that looks absolutely beautiful but has boring game play I feel sad. I can't say anything negative about the art style because it looks stunning, but this is a game and in my opinion game play is the number one important thing in a game.
    Everything you do is just walk from A to B and solve "puzzles" if you want to call them that. It has way too easy jump and run

    If you like these kind of games that's totally fine and I have nothing against story telling and deeper meaning. I just think that you have to first come up with a concept to combine your story with a game, because if you just have a story, you can just make a (short) film or a video.

    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. It's a walking simulator where you can't see your destination, it's a platformer where you can't die, it's a Metroidvania that doesn't want you to backtrack.

    There other games that are just or nearly as beautiful while managing to have engaging

    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.

    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.

    The Journey для бедных: пустая, бедная музыка и монотонный визуальный стиль. Как платформер - весьма озадачивает: не один раз будете пытаться запрыгнуть туда, куда невозможно, и наоборот.
