Find your color in the darkness.
Gris is a very enjoyable game, simple, short (around 3 hours), and tremendously beautiful both visually and in the feelings it evokes.
Something I love is the very relaxing experience while playing; it focuses on enjoying the journey, making you not want to reach the end.
I find it very interesting that there is no combat nor the possibility of our protagonist dying, making it a non-frustrating experience focused on moving forward.
Gris is full of small details throughout the journey, like the little companion that appears out of nowhere and accompanies us for a while, watching us and mimicking our movements.
The music is impressive and, along with the environment, forms a very important part of the narrative, surprising us and taking us to exciting places.
It has a series of simple mechanics that we will unlock little by little (stone, double jump, gliding, high jump, broken voice, diving) and they fit perfectly into the journey.
It has low replayability due to its linearity and the simplicity of its puzzles.
