Gris review

Exceptional

Beautiful Game, solid puzzle platformer. Doesn't overstay welcome.

masterpiece

Looks so beautiful . The Backgrounds and the character movements. the music also matches the gameplay perfectly. But the short gameplay was  still a bit unengaging. the story is metaphorical but should have been little more involving for lack of a better word. Should be given a try for sure. not the greatest gameplay wise , but the art is out of the world .

Most of all the game is beautifull. The graphic part, the music, the character control... are a piece of art.

8/10

Beautiful and melancholy, Gris has a similar concept to Journey: a robed wanderer traveling through a gorgeous world for reasons unknown. With minimal platforming and puzzle solving, Gris doesn't dive enough into either to make the gameplay particularly interesting. The game should be played and enjoyed solely for the two things it excels at: Conrad Roset's artwork and Berlinist's soundtrack. Combined, they deliver a meditative experience that make the game worthy of your time.

The most beautiful and emotional game of all time that I can play over and over again. Play with a controller and on a giant screen to get the most enjoyable experience (I want to kick myself in the teeth for not liking it at first because I made the mistake of playing on keyboard before getting Afterglow). 

While it's true that it's a bit short, the mind blowing visuals make up for it. Every little detail of animation when you jump, or fly or do anything is a delight.

 This game is much easier than other platformers out there, i.e. Ori , The Messenger or Hollow Knight. However the beauty of the art makes this a captivating experience that I was very happy to immerse myself in until the very end.
