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 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.

With an arresting art style and admirable commitment to minimalist game design, Gris manages to turn a straightforward, often derivative platformer into something that feels far more special and important.

As a one-off experience or one-time playthrough, GRIS is certainly one of the most artistic and provocative experiences I've seen in video games. While I would've liked to see a more fleshed out world, with meaningful collectibles and more puzzles to solve, GRIS is still worth a look for anyone who has an interest in platformers or silent stories.

Nomada Studio's picturesque adventure has made it to PlayStation 4 almost perfectly intact. The game shines at an unwavering 60 frames per second, and it looks superb on a standard console -- let alone PS4 Pro

GRIS's aesthetic - the work of artist Conrad Roset - makes it one of the most visually compelling games not only of the year, but in recent memory. But the graphics are simply the start, as Nomada Studio have crafted a genuinely unique experience that will stay with you long after you see the credits. The gameplay might be a little too simple for some and the narrative is a tad esoteric in rare spots, but if titles like Journey, Limbo and Inside struck a chord with you, GRIS deserves to be next on your list.

GRIS will hardly demand quick reflexes or make you scratch your head thinking about the solutions to it's puzzle platforming. It's a short game (about three, four hours), that's fun to control and simple and very accessible in terms of gameplay, that possibly will leave a little to be desired in terms depth for those seeking greater challenges. But I think above all this, it is a moving experience thanks to its artistic and narrative combinations. I loved my hours interacting, listening and watching the beautiful journey of Gris.

Gris is on of the most beautiful games I've ever seen. You could picture yourself as the main protagonist and see the game as it your life. At first, you're weak but this is all in your head. To overcome the problems, you should trust yourself. Maybe even the main villain of the games is just yourself.

GRIS is a wonderful and essential game about loss and pain that tells a criptic story about a girl in search of herself. It is another success for Devolver Digital.

Offers a well-crafted invitation for exploration on multiple levels, though Gris is neither a walk in the park nor a brain-wringing title

Gris is much more than a simple game, it's a really powerful sensorial experience, a journey inside our personality. Gris talks about us better than anything else, showing the deepest emotions hidden inside our soul.

So every obstacle you encounter, every puzzle, actually turns into a spice in this delicious meal you eat. Even though it is short, you will happily leave the dining table with the taste that will remain on your palate.

What GRIS demonstrates is that there is beauty in ambiguity, and solace in solitude.
