### 5/5 — Amazing Artwork Brings Me Peace

*2025-08-08*

I once thought I had lost my patience. But it’s wonderful to explore this world, gradually discover more colors, and watch them spread out little by little. Just like a watercolor painting, fresh and beautiful.
Graceful and resolute, yet with the ability to break the mold; these are all indispensable, whether in the game or elsewhere. This game reminds me of things I had once forgotten.
It may take some time to adapt at the beginning, but if you’re searching for something you can’t quite name, I think this is a good choice.

### 3/5 — Good art but

*2025-07-03, version 1.0.5*

The jumps are impossible I spent a hour just trying to do one jump developers please fix this

### 5/5 — Beautiful Art

*2025-06-17*

This game is so beautifully artistic. This game is an artistic representation of the process of dealing with grief. There is so much symbolism in this! And the landscapes were mesmerizing to look at! 
There are no colors at first or other creatures because she’s such in a deep level of grief and depression. As the game builds, it’s amazing to see as she moves past the different stages, all the different creatures and color and life that’s added each section that you weren’t able to see before. It’s a pretty cool concept the way the game keeps adding structure to the same landscape and you pass a section and realize you’ve been there before but how different it is now! At first she’s avoiding the grief inside (the black bird and the eel which made me jump so hard I nearly dropped my phone when it came back) but it of course still comes out. Then you have to face it, because you’ll never be able to move on until you do. Truly beautiful work!!

### 1/5 — Can’t get far on the free version

*2025-04-07, version 1.0.5*

I don’t know if i like this game or not because i can’t get far enough without it telling me to pay for the full version.

### 5/5 — Beautiful game

*2025-04-06, version 1.0.4*

This game was deeply emotional, I wanted to cry multiple times while playing. It perfectly depicts grief in such a beautiful way. What an experience.  Only downside was right at the very end when the credits started rolling the game crashed and froze and i couldn’t exit it so I had to force quit.. but I mean I had already finished the game so it wasn’t a big deal.

### 4/5 — Beautiful but not suited to iOS

*2025-04-04*

The game looks GORGEOUS without a doubt, and the level design is excellent. Finding little secret paths feels extra rewarding. It’s rare to find a game with such low consequences that stop feels consequential. Without a doubt this is stylish and fun.
Unfortunately, there are some problems: The game did not translate to mobile very well, with the occasional camera zoom out making it impossible to see where your character is, and the on screen controls feel gummy and imprecise, exacerbating the next issue. There are occasional platform puzzles that require a level of precise placement and/or timing that makes advancing through them almost seem like random chance (the circle room before the giant bird? Come on!!). The designers made it very clear what you’re supposed to do to advance, but the margin for error is so slim, and the tap controls make it feel downright impossible. Most of these frustrating sections were only completed by attaching an external controller, though that’s not perfect either: the game frequently does not recognize an attached backbone controller, leaving me with no physical controls AND no on-screen controls
This one might be better left to play on a different platform, but if you’re going to try this on Apple Arcade, get a physical controller first. Otherwise, you’ll ohh and ah at the beautiful hand-drawn elements and unique backgrounds… until you get stuck and bail

### 4/5 — Love it

*2025-03-25, version 1.0.5*

Beautiful graphics and story. However, I finished playing Gris+, where I had the options of the extra features. When I opened the app in my iPad I lost those features having to restart the game again. Is there a way to recover my old game? Thank you

### 2/5 — No controller support on MacOS

*2025-03-11, version 1.0.4*

I started this game on Apple TV with a controller and loved it. I went to continue on my Mac and it does not support controllers. I wish this were updated for controller support.

### 5/5 — Never gets old

*2025-02-14*

I have played this game many times over the years. If I could rate it a million stars I would. I don’t know what the other reviews are talking about. The credits at the start aren’t that long. When you play the game you are met with beautiful artwork, music, and storyline. It’s perfect for those people who love games like “Never Alone: Ki Edition” or people who like the chill but depressing backstory kinda games. It’s about a girl who lost her mother and is in grief, lost in her mind and mental issues (according to a review on the version that costs money). The colors that you unlock represent the stages of grief. It says in the achievements of the Game Center for this game that the first stage is “denial” (which is the first stage of grief) than “anger, “bargaining”, “depression” (my favorite stage), and “acceptance”. I understand we all have our own opinions. But I don’t know how someone can hate this game. Have a good day ❤️

### 5/5 — Stunning Game!

*2025-02-09*

Where to even begin! Gris is an absolutely breathtaking experience from start to finish. The hand-drawn art style is visually stunning, with every frame feeling like a painting brought to life. The use of color and animation perfectly captures the emotional journey of the protagonist, immersing you in a world that feels both beautiful and melancholic.

What’s truly remarkable is how the game conveys such deep emotions without a single line of dialogue. Through its fluid animations, subtle environmental storytelling, and hauntingly beautiful soundtrack, you genuinely feel the character’s heartbreak, pain, and eventual healing. The platforming and puzzle elements seamlessly blend into the narrative, making every moment feel intentional and meaningful.

Gris isn’t just a game—it’s an emotional journey, an artistic masterpiece, and a deeply personal experience. If you haven’t played it yet, do yourself a favor and dive in. It’s one of those rare games that sticks with you long after the credits roll.
