Critic reviews
- GamingonPhone8.5GRIS is one of those experiences with close to no text, just simple control reminders that are illustrated via universal icons. The game can be enjoyed by anyone who loves platformer games, regardless of their language.
- Hardcore Droid9.0GRIS is built with care and infused with beauty. Get ready for a breathtaking and challenging experience.
- PS Lifestyle8.5What I expected from GRIS was a solid, beautiful, platformer that could occupy a few hours of my time. What I got from GRIS was quite close to that, but somehow more beautiful than I could have ever considered or expected. If you want to see just how artistic games can get, or if you’re like me and just need a few hours occupied by beauty and platforming, then it’s hard to go wrong with GRIS.
- Touch Arcade9.0Overall, GRIS is definitely one of the best games you can play on iOS right now. I adored it when I played it on Switch back in December and replaying it twice has been a joy. I wouldn’t really call GRIS replayable even though you will miss some things on your playthrough. These aren’t really essential because the core story that is a three to four hour long experience feels just right. While I already know how to solve the puzzles so I was just blasting through the game again, I will never tire of the stunning art, animations, and audio design in GRIS.
- 148Apps7.0Without a strong mechanical or narrative backbone, GRIS struggles to do much except look really, really nice. I’d love to see more games that look as interesting as this one does, but not if it means making the same kinds of sacrifices. The tradeoff just isn’t worth it.
Gamer reviews
A special feeling
The atmosphere and the progression inside give the feeling to progress.
A simple puzzle platforming game but with beautiful hand drawn art and amazing music. The story is told without words but revolves arounds the themes of depression and grief and the difficulty of overcoming it. I loved everything about this game and at the end of the playthrough I felt happy for playing it.
Gameplay 7/10 Not perfect, but good enough. Story 10/10 There is absolutely no dialogue in the game, yet it tells such a compelling story. Visuals and Sound: 9.5/10 My eyes and ears are SPOILED. It gave me almost the same satisfaction as Breath of the Wild in terms of the visuals and sound design. ---------- GRIS is definitely worth the pick-up -- especially during this time. I’ve read people say that this game has helped them go through difficult times of their lives, and for me, it isn’t hard to imagine why.
Better than Sonic Forces. And What was I expected it to be. A relaxing platforming game with some obstacles and a beautiful background with movement all around me.
