Gris is the type of game that transcends or, rather, blurs the boundaries between game and holistic experience. While purists (i.e. platformer die-hards) might get somewhat bored by Gris' simple challenges and the fact that you can't really lose, I firmly believe that this shouldn't stand in their way. Trust me, give yourself the opportunity of living a strong, almost cathartic experience of playing this game. I don't think that by judging the game on a gameplay basis only does it justice: it's a living, breathing organism that requires your undivided attention. One cannot experience the game without feeling awed by its stunning visual & environmental narrative in tandem with the marvelous sound design (best experienced with headphones). I truly feel that this is a game where, as another reviewer put it, you don't play to overcome a challenge or test your platforming skills (there are much better games out there to do so); instead, you play because you feel inspired to. There's not many "A-ha moments" here; but give yourself the chance to play this game and you'll find yourself smiling plenty of times in front of several small yet poignant revelations.
