GRIS for Android

I just finished playing Gris, and let me tell you the music and graphics are both insanely beautiful. Although the game is short, I believe it was worth every penny. It felt like more than a game, it felt as if I was walking through a painting. Every single scene looked like it belonged in a museum and all of the puzzles were just difficult enough, only getting me to the point where I’d scratch my head at most. All in all a beautiful game and I’d give it more than 5 stars if I could!

I really wanted to like this game but the controls don’t seem to be working… I can’t jump from platform to platform. Beautiful idea, but not worth the money.

Okay, this game is one of my favorites ever. First of all, it’s absolutely gorgeous. The colors, the natural elements, the architecture, everything. I loved watching our protagonist leap and bound through every imaginable corner of her world. This game’s artists have a unique and consistent style, and the resulting settings are my absolute favorite part of the game. The runner up, however, is undoubtably the storyline. Following a girl and her journey of acceptance through the stages of grief, the ending of her story made me shed actual tears, even if her acceptance was more metaphorical than literal. As she learned how to run, jump, smash, and soar, it was easy to interpret this progress as one would struggle to return to themselves after grieving a loved one. It is masterful the way that the creators were able to discreetly weave a sorrowful tale throughout normal game play, so that even if you weren’t paying attention, you could understand the meaning in the end. The actual game was challenging and fun too! Peppered with many secret passageways and hidden achievements, this game is structured for those who want to finish a game’s basic requirements in several hours as well as those who like to look deeper. The one thing I will say is that if you are looking for another calm puzzle game to play, this may or may not be the one for you. It is largely control based, and a lot of challenges depend on how fast you can maneuver the character around, or how accurately you can jump from place to place. I especially had trouble in the very beginning trying to figure out how to simply make my character MOVE, before eventually figuring it out. But when I recommended this game to my mom, for example, as we have a history of sharing puzzle games between each other, she agreed with all my earlier points but eventually had to delete the game before it’s completion. As she attempted to play the game, we both realized she is more suited for simple controls, and didn’t have the intuition for Gris’s controls that I had even after finishing the rocky beginning. After all, they are a bit harder to navigate than a game like Monument Valley with simple tap controls. Overall, of course, this game receives a shining five stars from me, and even if you think you may struggle with the controls the way my mom did, I recommend that everyone give it a chance because of it’s beauty and general perfection!

At first, this game was boring, but over time, the color in the temple, forest, Green temple, Light temple, and the ending had got me into this game more and more. Although, you could’ve used more pointers on what to do at first, and could’ve added other paths to take. I have seen everything in the game, and a sequel would be the best thing in my entire life. Please add At Least a few megabytes worth of content.. it would add a more interactive compensation and comprehension for a game that is a story to truly behold, especially for a 7th grader with autism like me.

This game took me on a fantasy beautiful story. I usually like shooter games but this was a great adventure. So different and well thought. I love the meaning of the story and the graphic design. One of the best games I’ve ever played. I thought I wasn’t going to be able to get into it but I couldn’t stop playing it. I would give it more stars if possible
