I'm in awe, what a beautiful game. My mom passed away recently so I've been searching for games to help me get through grief. At first I really thought this was just a platforming game, but as I continued through I couldn't believe the amount of love and creativity that went into this. The colors, the music, the way it makes you feel through every stage. The ending had me in tears, as I knew it would. Anyone that has lost someone, I feel like this is made for them. Even those that haven't just because of the calmness it brings. I will definitely come back to this game and hopefully 100% it in the process

Gris has a very beautiful watercolor art style, with a story matching it's visual beauty.

A story about a girl going through the 5 stages of grief, each stage beautifully illustrated through the visual art style and the music.

The gameplay consists mostly of platforming and puzzle solving with new found ability gained when passing from one stage to the next.

All in all very beautiful game that takes on a very heavy subject matter and does it justice.

Didn't understand the hype here. Emperor’s new clothes?

Art direction is nice, but nothing you haven’t seen before. Gameplay is weak. I dislike the phrase “walking simulator” but it is closer to that than a 2D platformer. Puzzles are spread far apart, and when they are there, they don’t fit into the rest of the gameplay loop, and what would be a simple puzzle in a descent platformer becomes confusing, as the game is breaking its own rules. For example, it is often unclear what a platform is and what is just background, not to mention the foreground being in the way at times. Music is fitting but not memorable.

I really wanted to like this game, but it simply fell flat for me. Go play Ori for good platforming, Ibb & Obb for co-op in minimalist art design (with a friend!), or Journey for the “silent but beautiful” instead.
