GRIS Reviews
GRIS is, simply put, one of this year's masterpieces.
I said earlier that not everyone will want to play Gris. That's fair. But if you do, and if you're able to connect with its themes, I think you'll find it's a game well worth experiencing. Even if you don't connect with it emotionally, the creative and gorgeous visuals combined with the haunting music should be more than enough to carry you through. I'd suggest playing it in docked mode to fully take in the artwork, but the music and audio effects are better experienced with headphones. Either way, give Gris a try. You'll be happy you were with her.
Gris is not only beautiful, but it's also the perfect platformer for anyone who likes a challenge to be about more than reflexes or enemy slaughter. It's a thinking game, that also happens to have really good platforming at its core. It's neither too long nor too short, and worth every penny to experience the year's most beautiful visuals.
Gris is a game about loss wrapped up in one, truly stunning package that should be experienced by everyone.
GRIS features outstanding graphics, beautiful cinematics, and whimsical music. While it lacks in gameplay and replayability, it handily makes up for it in its presentation.
Gris is a game that can only be described by one word: magical. The feelings and sensations that it awakens on the player through its magistral work with its art and music, combined with a very well done movement system and gameplay result in an incredible experience and one of the most emotionally powerful, striking and significative games of this generation.

Gris is a beautiful explosion of color with a touching and emotional journey. Hand-drawn visuals show that it's a title crafted with love. While the story is loose and can leave players feeling a little lost, there are emotional cues that symbolize this as a journey of loss and healing. The excellent soundtrack, level design and commitment to themes make Gris a memorable title for all. With fun, adventurous platforming and puzzles that are both challenging and intuitive, its playstyle keeps things simple by placing player cognition at the forefront. Gris is a true work of indie art that prides itself on attention to details. Fans of works of art and video games will find a relatable home in Gris. Although this is Nomada Studio's first title, it has hit every possible note out of the park.
Gris is a masterpiece that changes your look to your life. Everything in every minute of the game are amazing. Gris is an excellent game which its story, gameplay, graphic and music make you want more and more of it. You must definitely experience Gris even if you are not a gamer!

Spanish indie team Nomada Studio has done an outstanding job with GRIS, giving us a must-have Nintendo Switch release before the year is over.
Nomada Studio's debut game is a must for lovers of art and subtle storytelling.
Gris may feel sluggish to control at times, but for the most part, you’ll want to take it slow anyway, to take in the game’s beautiful environments.
In fact, it's quite the opposite: at least for me, the familiarity of Gris' journey is what made it so impactful, like it was reaching out a hand and saying "I understand." Gris understands, and in an exploration of depression as lucid as this, that's vital.
In its 3-4 hour playtime, GRIS won't change the way you think about platformers, but with such a beautiful hand-painted art style and haunting score, it's an exquisite mini masterpiece that heals the soul.
GRIS is an enjoyable platforming adventure that lets you casually explore a mysterious world, alongside some wonderful visuals and music.
