    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.

    jogo incrível!

    lembro que quando abri o jogo, como com a maioria do entretenimento hoje em dia, que se consome fazendo varias outras coisas, tentei usar meu celular, seja para fazer um tuíte, ver um vídeo engraçado ou ouvir um podcast enquanto jogo. mas ai... ai veio aquela cena inicial, a arte, a musica... aquilo me prendeu, tentei continuar mexendo no celular mas... parecia errado. o    jogo incrível!

    lembro que quando abri o jogo, como com a maioria do entretenimento hoje em dia, que se consome fazendo varias outras coisas, tentei usar meu celular, seja para fazer um tuíte, ver um vídeo engraçado ou ouvir um podcast enquanto jogo.
    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.    … Expand

El estilo artístico es apasionantemente bello y perfecto, logrando transmitirte sensaciones únicamente con su apartado visual. La historia que se intenta contar es simple y no emplea ningún diálogo, pero igualmente consigue ser muy emocional. En cuanto a la jugabilidad, basada en puzles y plataformas, se emplean varias mecánicas típicas de juego de plataformas pero se exploran bastante bien. El juego se puede pasar en unas 3 horas. Aunque GRIS sea un juego sencillo y sin grandes pretensiones, esta experiencia jugable logra transmitirte algo que muy pocos juegos logran, algo muy difícil de expresar con palabras y que tú mismo debes sentir. 9/10

    EYE WATERING EXPERIENCE! Gris tells us a story without even saying a word game is about grim topic of grief. There are not much other games that touch on this subject and ones that do touch this subject are also ''eye watering'' such as The Last Of Us or God Of War.

Gris tells us a story without even saying a word game is about grim topic of grief. There are not much other games that touch on this subject and ones that do touch this subject are also ''eye watering'' such as The Last Of Us or God Of War. In order for player to understand story you must focus on the background the things that happen how the world changes because this is what grief does it puts you into a whole another world you live walk talk among us but in a different plain of reality. When you are grieving you are not in the world of the living the person who died took your hand and pulled you into the land of the dead and now you are in limbo. So the main character of GRIS, you walk through the stages of grief and see how the world around you changes for example on the second stage of grief the world around you is desert and it feels that way when someone dear to you dies the world looks empty looks like has nothing to offer other than some ruins. You know what this game deserves a complete review here you go : THERE ARE 5 STAGES OF GRIEF and our character goes through all of them one by one ''Denial'' is a colourless world obviously a fake one ''Anger'' is red that causes you to see nothing but lack in the world such as the desert i talked about, ''Bargaining'' is when things start to change you start to acknowledge death and talk with it, in my experience this is the hardest one that hits its portraid as green just like a blooming plant in order for things grow this step is a nessesity, ''Depression'' is nothing like what teenagers thing it is depression is hopelessness beyond any not just crying because your family didn't buy the new ps5 or Jordan or something idc, depression is sufficating and you are underwater in this chapter of the game the colour blue in artistic pieces is representetive of the sorrow not differant on this one. And the last one ''Acceptance'' is the colour yellow just like a guiding star, warm and accepting embrace of the colour yellow was our destination all along the person you loved is dead but the memories are immortal. 10/10 At some point in our lives we will all go through this game.… Expand

    I know why journalists loved this garbage - it's barely even a game. For my brief time playing, I held the control stick to the right and maybe hit the jump button a few dozen times. It's an art project that results from sniffing one's own farts for way too long. Just make an animated short next time and don't try to charge $15 for this awful pretend-game.

    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 gave it a 10. I had never given a 10 to anything in my life, and not only when it comes to games. This is pure art, period. A profound meditation in form of a game. A journey within your emotions on a screen. Grateful my senses could meet this masterpiece.

    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 sections and on some parts the game plays itself.
    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.    … Expand

Well, it is definitely not a game for a casual gamer who seeks for immersive gameplay and such, but nonetheless it is a top-notch artistic experience with extremely moving story, outstanding soundtrack and broad symbolism. Its way of depicting the process of overcoming grief after loss of a loved one is definitely moving and can cause the tears to well up in one's eyes.… Expand
