Our Expert Score

98/100

GRIS is one of those rare games that transcends the medium and becomes a genuine piece of art. It is a breathtakingly beautiful experience that deals with the heavy themes of sorrow and emotional growth without ever needing a single word of dialogue. The watercolor art style is stunning, with the world literally gaining color as Gris regains her emotional strength. The animation is fluid and expressive, and the original score is nothing short of a masterpiece, perfectly echoing the shifting moods of the journey.

Gameplay-wise, GRIS is a 'serene' experience, meaning there is no combat, no death, and no frustration. The puzzles are light and environmental, designed to guide you through the narrative rather than block your path. As you progress, Gris’s dress gains new abilities—like turning into a heavy stone or allowing her to glide—which open up new ways to interact with the world. It’s a healing, evocative journey that stays with you long after the final frame. For anyone who appreciates visual storytelling and atmospheric design, GRIS is an absolute must-play.
