Yeah personally I'm a big fan of criticising games based on what they're trying to offer, not what I think they ought to do.

So much this.

 

[Wunray]

Might pick this up after I finish guacamele 2.

Gris is a beautiful, exceptionally well-made game that, in my opinion, is well worth the cost even after accounting for its short length. The gameplay is simple and presents little challenge*, but it's not a "walking simulator." It's a platformer with well-designed stages that only get prettier as the game progresses. Its puzzles require some thought, but if you pay attention to your surroundings, you won't get stuck on any of them. The controls are almost perfect, something that surprised me given the high quality of the animations.

It does have some flaws, though. As the IGN review pointed out, sometimes it's difficult to distinguish between platforms you can stand on and objects in the background, but I found this only rarely to be the case. And, although the game is basically linear throughout, after you gain the ability

Spoiler

to sing again

, the game temporarily becomes a little bit more open, a transition that can lead to confusion about where to go next. But even at that point, so long as you just go in any one available direction and pay attention to your surroundings, you won't have any trouble figuring out what you need to do.

I've played through the game twice now and, because I enjoyed it so much, I will probably play through it again and again in the future. I'll also probably buy the soundtrack at some point, which you can listen to for free on Spotify.

Unless you're completely turned off by the short length of the game, I would highly recommend buying Gris.

*There are optional collectibles that require a bit more platforming skill or solving somewhat-more-complicated puzzles, but they're still fairly easy in comparison with other games.

No platforming and no puzzles, let alone clever ones.

This is a lie.

This is a lie.

I don't think he even played the game but its weird that he thinks he knows about the game more than people who actually played the game.

According to the team, the game has already passed the profitability threshold (meaning it made back the initial funding and is now generating additional money).

And it has only been a bit over a week since it launched.

Well deserved, the game was absolutely beautiful.

Beautiful game. This is way better than 99% of all those AAA games.

Also, salty ps4 fans are salty. Lol

Jim Sterling liked it.




I was going to pick it up but it's not on PS4, hopefully they might port later.

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

Actually Id rather have this on PS Vita than PS4.

 

[Danjin44]

I personally want to see this game get released in as many system as possible so it could sell even more and more should able play this beautiful game.

Amen. Seems their decision to focus on Switch makes sense from a business perspective, I've read several times that "arty" indie titles sell best on the eShop.

 

[jshackles]

Just got finished playing this on the Switch, what a lovely game.

Here is some video about GRIS's animation but it has spoilers, watch it on your own risk.

Man I really want to get this game for my Switch but even at $15, it just seems too much for a 3 hour game.

Why are you flooding the front page with old threads?

I appreciate that you want to share the news about a game.. but when looking at the front page right now and almost all the threads are a year old or over, really gets annoying..

 

[ROMhack]

I don't have any issue with it. Beats starting a new thread.

Would appreciate it if it weren't in Spanish though (Gris is coming to iOS basically).

Its a nice game. But i wouldn't pay more than 10 for this. It's just too short and has 0 replayability.

Its a beautiful game though, if you're willing to pay abit more for the beauty, thats up to you

 

[IbizaPocholo]

 

[ROMhack]

Was it not on PS4? Anyway good game, beat it a few weeks ago.

If you like 2D puzzle platformers like LIMBO than it's well worth a go,

As soon as I saw the notification I knew it'd be an I B I Z A P O C H O L O post.

$5 is a steal btw. I wish I enjoyed playing games on phones as I'd get so much bang for me bang.

This my first time making OTs so I'm sorry if is not well made.
If I broke some rules Mods should feel free to lock this.

Didn't know you were a big fan of Gris. I am as well.

Anyway, there's a new physical deluxe up for pre-order for both PS5 (first time it's getting a physical release on the platform) and Switch. Pre-orders are up on amazon and the expected release date is in April.

The artstyle was gorgeous! The puzzles were simple but it was still fun.

Yeah, that's how I feel about the game as well. I'll just add that the music was amazing too! Def gonna pick this deluxe up since I want the artbook (heard it has a ton of awesome character designs, illustrations, environments etc).
