There is only ever one solution to challenges and it becomes so difficult that it is no longer fun to play. ### 2/5 — Terrible Controls *2026-05-17, version 1.5* Graphics and visuals are stunning however the controls are so infuriating that it ruins the experience and story very quickly. Will never play this again. ### 3/5 — Beautiful But Hollow *2026-05-16, version 1.5* Stunning art and music. The opening is breathtaking. But once the visual wonder wears off, there’s not much left. The gameplay loop gets repetitive fast, and collecting feels like busywork with no real payoff. A great premise that doesn’t quite land. Just so so. ### 3/5 — Cool but controls suck *2026-04-03, version 1.5* A great premise, an great graphics, but I just couldn’t get used to the controls, not intuitive at all. ### 2/5 — Mierda de controles *2026-01-06, version 1.5* Mierda de controles ### 5/5 — Judge *2026-01-02, version 1.5* Great App For Me ### 5/5 — Simply beautiful *2025-12-19, version 1.5* This game is entirely wonderful in so many ways. I love how the storyline represents emotion through color, shape, and sound. The gameplay is never too demanding, yet always immersive, making it a great experience for any player. Even after ‘completing’ the game once, I look forward to replaying it time and time again ### 5/5 — 高いジャンプが肝 *2025-11-30, version 1.5* 詰みかけましたが、 普通のジャンプ→タップ 高いジャンプ→長押し で解決しました ### 5/5 — Pulang. *2025-11-03, version 1.5* Kadang aku tidak benar-benar mencari dunia baru. Aku hanya ingin menemukan jalan pulang ke diriku sendiri. Lewat sebuah game bernama Gris, aku akhirnya sampai di sana. ### 5/5 — HERMOSO *2025-11-02, version 1.5* Nunca había jugado un juego tan hermoso, el arte es bellísima y amé la jugabilidad. 11/10 recomendadisimo 💙 ### 5/5 — Must-play *2025-10-25, version 1.5* As soon as I finished this game, I played it through again 8 times in a row. I’m not kidding 😳. The soundtrack is gorgeous and the artwork is some of the best I’ve seen in games. Some people mentioned glitches where they couldn’t move or progress further, but I didn’t encounter any when I played. The storyline is beautiful and just feels human. This is without a doubt one of my top 10 favorite games, and so many thanks to the creators ❤️. If you’re considering downloading this game, please do. It’s worth it. ### 4/5 — Glitching in red. Got to hand, never turned blue. Camera pans or lost in fog *2025-10-15, version 1.5* I love this game. I bought it when it came out. I played it through twice, and then removed it from my device. Now I had to pay for it again?!?! I love it so much, I figure sure I’ll buy it again. Now I got to the hands at the end of red, and they started to change, but it glitched and she went off the edge. So I’m stuck in an infinite loop. I can go up one side of the middle clock tower and when I get to the second level of the clock tower, it goes foggy and I can’t see where she’s going. I can hop and stomp in my square, but can’t see anything. She gets stuck somewhere and can’t get out, so I have to quit and restart. If I go up to the left side of the clock tower, I can shift the balance bar back and forth to reach the top of the wind mill, and then as I start to jump across the top of the windmill to activate the beacon at the top of the balance tower, the view pans up and away from the action to the scene above, but doesn’t pan back down…….. so I fall of the edge, and have to climb back up. I have timed the windmill turns, and practiced the jump so many times, I know I should hit the top of the adjacent tower, it it keeps glitching and dropping me down to the bottom of the windmill tower again. I remember this happening the last time I played a few years ago. Had to delete it and reinstall it, and start all… over… again…. I’m on an I-pad and frustrated that the glitch is still there after all these years. So I’ve uninstalled it, and have to reinstall it and start… all…over… again… If you get stuck in the red level… that’s the only fix. If a game glitches, when you restart the level it should put you back where you can move forward in the game. ### 5/5 — Hermoso y con música increíble *2025-10-07, version 1.5* La música es tan bella como la estética. Algo sencillo, pero ningún detalle se desperdicia. Llegó en un momento en el que me ausenté de jugar durante mucho tiempo y este título me hizo recordar por qué me gustan los videojuegos. ### 5/5 — Too stunned to speak *2025-10-02, version 1.5* This game cannot be described by words. It’s truly out of this world, it’s a masterpiece 🥹 ### 5/5 — Game chạm tới tâm hồn tôi nhất *2025-09-22, version 1.5* May mà hồi đó không coi Dung senpai chơi nên không bị spoil ### 5/5 — Una joya visual y auditiva *2025-08-31, version 1.5* Juégalo con audífonos, sin prisa y sin esperar nada. Déjate llevar. Una verdadera obra de arte. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Uçma Özelliği *2026-04-30, version 1.5* Oyun kendi başına çok iyi ama şu uçma özelliği tabletten oynadığım için mi olmuyor anlamadım. Canım çok sıkkın. ### 1/5 — Terrible jumping mechanics *2026-04-29, version 1.5* Please, make the character jump higher or something, it really annoys me standing at one place jumping over and over again trying to get on a platform that I’m suppose to be on. If the player is supposed to be there, make it reachable pleasase, it’s really make my game experience kinda bad. The art is good, the music is cool, color is beautiful, just pleasase, it’s not parkour, make the jump doable, the character just don’t jump higher enough for a the next flare of stairs, is it really supposed to be that hard for me to reach the next flare of stairs??? There’s 4 identical flare, it’s not fun being stuck. ### 1/5 — No parece que hayan are glad el problema de programacion *2025-10-04, version 1.5* Lei que tenían ese problema que no pasaba del primer capítulo pero pensaba que después de cuatro años se habría arreglado… desde un iphone14 pro imposible jugar… ### 1/5 — Lenti e noioso *2025-09-08, version 1.5* Il gioco risulta molto ripetitivo e piatto, finisce per annoiare subito ### 1/5 — Incredibly frustrating controls *2025-01-29, version 1.5* Beautiful, but uninteresting. Mechanics overall nice, but man, controls are just impossible. I usually finish every game I play, but I’ve dropped this one couple of times, and not sure if I ever finish it. ### 1/5 — Ses yok *2024-03-24, version 1.5* Oyunu ikinci yüklememde grisin sesi gelmiyordu belki kulaklık takmadığım içindir bilmiyorum ### 1/5 — Don’t buy this for iPhone *2023-11-25, version 1.5* This game looked so interesting but it seriously doesn’t work on my iPhone 12 Max. This was a waste of money. First level and I can’t get this girl to move anywhere, except sit and stand. There are no instructions for how to control or maneuver her. This is really disappointing. Dont buy this ### 1/5 — GRIS bs GRIS+ *2023-10-07, version 1.5* I played GRIS+ because I am an Apple Arcade subscriber. At the end of the game, I was encouraged to play the first chapter. Unfortunately, I understood that GRIS without + is the first part of the game. So I bought GRIS without + and unfortunately it turned out to be the same game. Pity. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2023-08-26, version 1.5* Just bought this game and already regret it. There are ZERO instructions on how to control it that I can find. All the character dose is sit and stand. I can’t find anything online on how to control it. THIS STUPID GAME IS WORTHLESS! ### 1/5 — Los controles no funcionan bien en el iPhone *2023-07-27, version 1.5* Es un juego con una estética y música maravillosa pero en el iPhone es imposible jugarlo, no hace caso a los controles y, en vez de relajarte y disfrutar el juego, te desespera. Un pena que no lo hayáis optimizado para este dispositivo. Y según las reseñas, no soy la única. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wow! *2026-08-30, version 1.5* Very underrated game ### 5/5 — Incredible, a work of art and heart *2026-08-16, version 1.5* The most emotional game I have ever played. More of an emotional journey than mere game. Currently going through the grief process so could barely see the screen through my tears at times. An Incredible work . Thank you x ### 5/5 — Need help *2026-08-01, version 1.5* I love GRIS and really want to keep playing, but I’ve encountered what seems to be a progression bug. On both iPhone and macOS, I become stuck at the black vine section and cannot progress despite using the correct controls. I’d appreciate it if the developers could look into this ### 5/5 — Maravilhoso! *2026-05-24, version 1.5* Sensacional! ### 5/5 — So Beautiful *2026-05-11, version 1.5* One of the most beautiful games I’ve ever played. ### 5/5 — Stunning all round *2026-04-06, version 1.5* Perfectly formed. An absolute delight to play. Other than one moment when I had to refer to YouTube for the solution there is a near perfect balance between visual beauty/creativity and figuring out the moves. Some reviewers are having issues with moving the character - I’m playing on the iPad and it works completely fine for me. I suspect that they haven’t quite mastered the timing of the moves/jumps or need a new iPad. It’s actually very satisfying when you do eventually get it right (there has to be a bit of a challenge!). It’s also a very long game which is rare-every time I think I’m done-a new world opens up. A great escape-I think everyone needs a bit of GRIS in their busy lives. ### 5/5 — Harika bir oyun *2026-03-27, version 1.5* Hayatımda böyle bir oyun oynamadım. Aşrırı iyi. 4. kez bitirdim ve bir kere daha oynuyorum. Oyun bağımlılık yapıyor diğerlerin dediği gibi renk, müzik, grafikler ve diğer herşeyi ile mükemmelllll. Keşke 100 üzerinden yıldızlarımızı atsak. Çünkü bu oyun yüz üzerinden yüzlük bir oyun❤️ ### 5/5 — Неймовірна гра *2026-03-04, version 1.5* Граю вже неодноразово , дуже атмосферна гарна приємна гра , допомогає понуритися і забути на декілька годин про все навколо. Дякую за цю чудову гру. ### 5/5 — Masterpiece… *2026-01-24, version 1.5* Sahneler,müzik,atmosfer… Özellikle final sahnesi… Rengarenk bir tablonun içerisindeymişsiniz gibi hissettiriyor. Lütfen deneyimleyin ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2026-01-14, version 1.5* Beautiful artistry and such a beautiful story of healing and self-love. It was a game that eases the nervous system. We need another one. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
