What players say
GRIS is a visually stunning experience about the stages of grief. The vibrant watercolor visuals paired with the beautiful music ebb and flow in a way that creates a delicate balance of emotion, making it feel closer to an art piece than to a game. I struggle to find the proper words to match the feeling that both the art and music were able to evoke within me. That's not to say it's without its flaws- GRIS's...

I usually need a clear plot and story to care about a game...this game, this journey, was the exception. I almost cried at the end. Which is saying something. Anyone with the bare minnimum appreiation for art of any kinds will love this game. Can't recommend it enough.
Wow, this is very artistic. Shame that being artistic doesn't automatically make something a good video game. Games need interaction, not just pretty visuals and atmosphere. And honestly, as a game, I don't think GRIS is anything above a 6/10.
