GRIS

Just finished last night. Hard to say something, it is not a game about WHAT, is a game about HOW. Platforming is easy, the concept is very straight forward. But the art direction, holy moly, i'm still elaborating. Don't be fooled by the sugary visual style, the plot under the skin is harsh. Be prepared for a deep experience.

I don't think I cried like this on a game for some long time, but this masterpiece managed to crack me. From the beautiful soundtrack that embraced my ears to the colors that made my eyes glow with happiness this peace of art creates something in your soul that not even words can describe it. Truly an experience you must have! Thanks to all the people that have contribuited to the creation of it! <3

Slow-movement. Slow-moving. I have tried a few times to push through but it just isn't that interesting.

I don't make this comparison lightly, as Abzû might be for PC what Journey was for PS3. Gris is another great example on how a game can exquisitely combine gorgeous artwork with an infinitely beautiful soundtrack, and provide an engaging and rather creative gameplay experience. Indeed, I'd go so far as saying that is one aspect where Gris actually stands out, with puzzles that are quite simple but require some lateral thinking from the player at times. The level design is fairly intuitive and I was hardly ever stumped as to what to do or where to go to next. Or maybe I was too busy enjoying the watercolours and landscapes to pay much attention to where I was going. While Gris won't take more than 4 to 6 hours of your life, depending on whether you've found all collectibles, it is a visual and auditory spectacle well worth your time.

I have this game stolen from t***nts. Played it. Tried not to cry. Cried a lot. Month passed, and its still don't let me go. I still see astonishing sceneries from it in my dreams, still hear this amazing music in my head every time i close my eyes. So here i am, man who didn't bought a single game in 15 years of his gaming. Judge me, shame me, blame me, i dont care. But i want this kind of games to continue developing. Because we will be scr*wed without it. So i had to do this. Absolutely had to. You dont have to put millions and billions of budgets in your game to make some hard-boiled pirate to buy it. You just have to put a SOUL and TALENT in it. My best wishes to amazing Nomada Studio, i hope they will remain as they is - small studio of talented people, who makes masterpieces. (And to you GOG-team of course:-)
