GRIS

jogo lindo, lindo, lindo, lindo, lindo...

Whooo damn, man! Look at that. Look! *Takes a sniff 😤 Tight, tight, tight! Ah... blue, yellow, pink! Whatever, man, just keep bringing me that! Initially checked the game out on Game Pass, and just a few minutes in I decided to play it on Steam instead, just so I could click a few screenshots. Idk, it worked out really well in the end since I got to play it on an OLED TV. Visually, this game is a masterpiece, walking art galore, and it's evoking allat with just the appropriate use of a few colors. From monochrome in the beginning to being drenched in color by the end, this game continually looked breathtaking and full of soul. Without any gimmicky BS like ray tracing btw. Henceforth, the word Gris should be synonymous with vivid. I initially thought it was a walking sim disguised as a platformer, but it's actually got some brain teasing puzzles and platforming sections. There were a few poorly explained puzzle segments though, like knocking the apples down for that forest companion who came and vanished in the blink of an eye, the ice puzzle, or the last bit where you have to sing to activate that round thing to proceed. In their defense, it was blinking, but it wasn't all that evident. Wouldn't have figured that one out without some YouTube assistance 🐺. I don't think you can blaze through it in one sitting even if HLTB suggests it takes 3 hours to finish. Took me like 5 to 6 hours to get through it, and some of the puzzles and platforming were a little mechanically flawed. It also slightly overstayed its welcome, at least that's how I felt while trying to figure out the upside down section. Overall, a brilliant game with eyegasmic visuals and some genuinely nice puzzle platforming. The story and themes are cryptic though, so I might have to hit up some larpist YT videos 🐺.

This game in my opinion is more experience than game but is the most beautiful thing i have played to date and probably will be the most beautiful thing i will ever play just for that and the astonishing OST that accompanies you throughout the game i think this is a experience worthy of your money and time, as a side note the game has a bit of an annoying bug that prevents you from progressing in certain parts but is easy to fix it by just capping the fps to the refresh rate of your monitor

I've started to play this game because a friend told me that I'll love, and I'm so happy that I believed in her because this game is AMAZING! The lyrics and visuals are unbelivable and for me, who is a terrible person playing games, this is kind of easy. It has a lot of levels and sometimes I don't even know where I am, but is funny exploring and find out new thinks! If you are looking for a beautiful game with a good storie ( without dialogue) I highly recommend it! :)

beautiful game, i cry

Obrigado, Gris. Você soube colocar em uma experiência interativa sentimentos que ficam guardados dentro de nós por muito tempo. É lindo ver emoções tão difíceis de explicar sendo retratadas de uma forma tão delicada, sem precisar de grandes diálogos ou explicações. É um jogo sobre aceitar a dor, conviver com as perdas e, aos poucos, reencontrar a própria força. Esperei fazer 100% do jogo antes de escrever isso, porque queria ter certeza de cada palavra. E agora posso dizer, sem dúvida nenhuma: essa foi, de longe, a platina mais linda que já fiz, pelo significado que existe em cada momento dessa jornada. Obrigado por me lembrar que nem toda obra precisa explicar tudo para tocar alguém, basta sentir, e Gris faz isso de uma forma única. Foi uma experiência que vou guardar por muito tempo, talvez pra sempre. Mesmo depois da platina e de conhecer cada canto do mapa, ainda existe vontade de voltar, simplesmente para sentir tudo de novo. Obrigado, Gris. Você transformou sentimentos em arte, silêncio em mensagem e mostrou que sempre existe uma cor esperando para voltar.

one of the most gorgeous games i've ever played for sure. and i suck at anything resembling a platformer but this was a banger
