Great game, huge understatement!. This game is awesome. I just got the ability(PSA: ONLY THIS SENTENCE CONTAINS A SPOILER)to sing by swiping up and holding down, which opens flowers, and changes some colors of vines/foliage red, etc.. I hope there’s a lot more, but It wouldn’t surprise me if I’m getting close to finishing. I played a game called Amina in which you, the protagonist, are on a journey. If you took that game and gave it steroids, a facelift, and the most extreme makeover possible it wouldn’t even come close to Gris. My only regret, in regards to the game, is that I hesitated for a couple months to get it. For me It’s been pretty much a flawless and wondrous experience. Thank you for everyone’s hard work. I am always following Y’all now for new games because, with out a doubt, it will be something incredible, especially if it fits the type of gameplay I prefer. I completely understand why it is an “editor’s choice” game. Again, thank you for this!

GREAT! one nitpick. This game is gorgeous, it’s fun to play and has an interesting story, it’s good in all the right ways. I’m just. There’s one thing that bugs me, it’s VERY hard to use your flight ability that you get. I’m stuck at a place where you have to fly using the butterflies in mid air, and the butterflies just won’t let me trigger the flight mode thing. I just fall when i hold up! I’m not sure if this has something to do with me being on the iPad Pro or not, I’m not sure, but it’d be great if I could actually pass this level and see the rest of the game TwT

Beautiful game with frustrating controls. This game is gorgeous and the music is mesmerizing. It is my kind of game - a meditative journey that is part puzzle, part platformer, part pure art. I want to be fully immersed in it so much. But it is hard to do when my fingers are hurting from awkwardly attempting the same jump 30 times. The controls should be less frustrating and painful to use. Or the game should offer assistance when you hopelessly stuck. I would much rather focus on the character’s journey through grief and healing than on the fact that I’ve twisted my fingers on some staircase jump.

So deep and powerful. I decided to play this game because of its beauty and good reviews, but also because of the message it was said to portray. I lost my dad two years ago and though I’m usually fine, the grief comes in waves and is sometimes unbearable. There were moments in this game that almost made me cry because I’ve FELT that same emotion. I connected with this game more than any other game I’ve had the privilege to play. The artwork and animation are beautiful, the score is gorgeous and emotion-filled, and the message is deep and healing. I’ve found healing along the way.

The music is glitched (I have iPhone 8+). Let me start off with saying that this game so far has been very beautiful. The colors are vivid and the animation is clean however, the music is glitched. When I load into the game everything is fine the cutscene is fine and the beginning gameplay is perfect. After I passed the three bird creatures is when the music stopped and the audio became very glitchy. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app restarting my phone etc. but nothing has worked. I don’t know if the game is not compatible with Bluetooth earphones but if it’s a bug I would really appreciate if you fixed it.

Beautiful Game. Gris is by far the most gorgeous game I’ve ever had the privilege to experience. The art is beautiful, and the storyline, though very vague, is touching. Watching and being able to endure the pain that Gris feels is invigorating. Fortunately, I got the version of the app that doesn’t emit a screeching sound in your ears. The music, on my behalf at least, was beautiful, and pulled heartstrings like never before. “Friend,” (the rock being that helps you in the forest) was by far the cutest thing I had seen. It took me a couple of tries to learn to feed him the apples, as it took me a while to learn how to do much else. Her singing was gorgeous. I couldn’t stop making her sing, just to hear her voice. The colour contrast is beautiful, whether it’s the simple black and white that makes you terrified, or the lustrous red, to the dark purples and blues of the under water landscapes. While I’ll admit some of the running scenes were long, they were gorgeous and well worth my time. As some other reviews will tell you, some people will need a stylus. I, however, had no such problem. Gris moves easily and the controls weren’t at all hard to understand. I definitely would recommend this game to anyone who wants a gorgeous game that can be played over and over. Thank You for taking your time to read my review. ~ IPhone 8+ user

Gorgeous and lovely. I hardly play any video or phone games, but this is one of the most beautiful and wonderful ones I have ever come across. I have to admit I’ve needed to cheat and use an online walkthrough guide a couple of times when I got stuck, but that was less frequent than expected, and overall it is laid out in a very user friendly way. It requires enough use of my brain and puzzling things out, as well as exploration without getting too frustrated, to really keep me going. The underlying story and images and art are stunning! I would definitely play more games like Gris, it’s my favorite game on my phone, by far!

Emotional, evocative, intriguing…. Loved it. Every so often, I find a game I love, and then there are games where I say, “I get it.” So impressed with the visuals, and the puzzles do not disappoint. But then the way the abilities unfold in order to progress the story arc of overcoming and healing are really very moving. I really enjoyed every minute of game play- being stumped, the humor in the way certain puzzles are solved, the fluidity. Really glad I tried this one and won’t soon forget it.

Totally Amazing. I want to be quick so I don’t start rambling. The premise is very creative, I love all the twists and turns, the art and animation is beautiful, I love the level/area design, the music is great, the puzzles are tricky as they should be but without getting too complicated, and I loved exploring every bit of this game. The only complain I have is about the controls on the one water stage, where you’re completely underwater. In other areas my controls were fine wether I was in water or not, but everything went loopy there for some reason. I managed to pass it though and haven’t came across the issue again so I don’t think I should take points off for that.

I cried at the beauty of this journey. Preface: The last time I held a video game controller was somewhere around 2006. I do not tend to enjoy, or be good at, video games. But for Gris, you do not need to be. Absolutely awestruck doesn’t begin to describe it. I first encountered Gris on a Nintendo Switch, and it was so relatable and therapeutic that I cried multiple times throughout the course of the story. It isn’t a game; it’s an experience, a journey of self-empowerment and healing. There are no life counts or items to buy, nobody to fight against, and nobody to save. Just a girl trying to repair the world around her and restore its beauty. When you jump into the abyss, you don’t get hurt or die. The character slowly heals her emotional pain by improving the world, and she gains abilities as she heals. I loved it so much on Nintendo Switch that I had to get it for my iPhone as well. I’d love an extended version from Devolver that explores some of the game areas in more depth and pitches the world out further. Absolutely revolutionary in the “video game” space.

This game will frustrate you to the point of never opening it again.. Don’t bother telling me the controls, I already know them. I know how to jump and run and look and double jump and all that jazz...but the fact that oooone tiny mistake will take you all the way back to the beginning of a level makes this game basically a waste of time. Unless you’re the type to literally never get frustrated about anything. The controls are easy but if you don’t time everything 100% PERFECT you’re harshly punished....and when you DO time everything 100% perfect there’s no reward besides being faced with another obstacle. Maybe I’ll play again SOMEDAY if I can get my hands on a science fiction device that can slow time. Lol.

updated review. After a one-star initial review, I’m upgrading slightly. This game is gorgeous, and fun to play. But it has some really serious problems. 1. Almost no tutorials to help you learn what to do, which was a real problem for me, and I can see from other reviews that I’m not the only one. 2. Major crashing problems when trying to load the game. Thankfully, it has not crashed during the game, but it has crashed while loading many, many times. 3. Even when you figure out the controls, they can be clunky. I just got my second round of flight power, and I have had to play some sections upwards of 50 times to get past them, because the controls are so wonky. That’s just ridiculous. I’m just quitting now, because its no fun to try and leap and fly to those red flowers for the 50th time. 4. There are LOOONG sections of doing nothing but climbing stairs or walking. Pretty, but it’s occasionally just filler. Maybe I’ll give it another try in a future update. This really needs work, it when it works, it’s fun and just beautiful.

Emotionally Gripping. Take a chance and buy Gris! From the start you are captivated by the beautiful score, scenery, and animation. The gameplay is simple yet it has some of the most original elements I’ve seen. The use of color to convey emotion is handled very well allowing you to relate to Gris with no dialogue needed. As you explore you are left wanting to learn more about this world and the journey that you are embarking on. I can’t remember the last time I smiled playing a video game simply because it made me happy.

I’m speechless. Ok, I loved this game. But let’s start with a few quibbles. On screen joysticks are just never great. For a lot of the game I wished I was playing on a console because the controls tripped me up. This isn’t really fault with this implementation, it’s just a fact of life with on screen touch controls. Also at the beginning of the game it took me longer than I’d like to admit to figure out what to do, because the description of the controls was lacking. But those are my only complaints. The visuals and music are among the best I’ve seen in any game ever, period. Breathtaking art and sound really captivate you and tell a story without words. I can’t say enough about this. The puzzles were enjoyable and the platforming was just the right amount. I seldom seek out soundtracks for video games but I quickly searched for this one (it’s on Apple Music). I’m even considering buying posters. If you want a good story with amazing art all around, play this game.

A delightful work of art. I rarely purchase apps but the promo video was just too good! I’ve been captivated and playing non-stop since the other day; I just finished it and to be honest there’s a bit of a void now. The graphics are so pleasing to the eye, the light mazework is so intuitive I feel most people could play, and the music is beautifully soothing. Overall, this game was enjoyable! Anytime a new object or skill was introduced I literally said “wow” aloud. What??? Go UP the waterfall??? This game was so delightful to play and I hope the designers consider making more just like this!

Great game!!!. I just got this game today and I’m already in love with it! There were parts when I got a little stuck but it wasn’t too difficult to figure out. Then there were times when I would try to jump onto things and I would fall right through and I’d have to try a few times for it to work but other than that it’s a great game!! Also if you get this game just a little hint to use your dress when you are stuck it was the main reason I got stuck.

Beautiful game, but I’m practically in tears from frustration. I’m on an iPhone XR This game is gorgeous and clever and I loved playing it at first, but the controls are so jittery. Gris will frequently suddenly turn in the wrong direction just as I try to set her up for a jump, and I’ve currently been stuck in the round room with the red birds circling the upside down tree for TWO DAYS. I’ve watched multiple playthrough videos because I was sure I was doing something wrong, but nope, I’m doing the same thing that is working for the players in the videos, but it’s not working for me. I even found another playthrough where the player seemed to have hit the same glitch I did and stopped mid-game, so I know it’s not just me. If a player logically knows what to do and has mastered the basic controls in a game, they should be able to do it. Sure, it’s fine to have a scenario where you have to master a specific jump before moving on, but if the controls are actively working against the player, it stops being fun. I don’t know what’s wrong, here, and I don’t know if I can finish the game! That’s so disappointing. Edit: It’s been over a month since I left this review, I have installed all updates and am still not able to advance in the game and I have gotten zero developer response. Lowering this review to one star until I’m given some way to proceed.

Simple Incredible.. As a thirteen year old, I have a pretty short attention span. Puzzle games, especially ones that can be as challenging as this one, frustrate me. But for some reason, I loved this. No in-game purchases to ruin the immersion, and I swear that this is the only thing that successfully saves me from every panic attack. I’ve been able to claw my way out of so many possible relapses, and this game is truly beautiful and breathtaking in every way. Cant recommend enough. I was in the middle of playing GRIS when I just HAD to take a break to come write a review because of how overtaken with love and emotion for this game I was. PLEASE GET THIS! It might not be a game for everyone, but I honestly can’t imagine not adoring it. I was a little confused right off the bat, but it was honestly so worth it to keep playing. Definitely up there in my favorite games of all time. Incredible.

Enjoyable journey!. Cool take on a puzzle adventure. I dig the world design — I thought the colors and textures contributed much to the experience... Same with the sound and music! I enjoyed the challenge of trying to figure out how to navigate the different levels, which required steps that weren’t always clear at times, but it would make it that much more satisfying when you figure it out. The animation of that bird was so sick!!! I’ll probably play it again soon just to that thing move again!

WOW. this game is like no other game i have ever played before. the storyline is heartfelt and filled with touching moments, all conveyed through the incredible graphics and soundtrack. above all, the soundtrack is my favorite aspect of this entire game. understanding the story better after completing the game makes every step resonate more deeply, and the subtle design choices begin to make more sense. i understood the story of this game very well, and i think that the deep emotions of the storyline are conveyed perfectly. this will always be one of my favorite games!

Never thought a game will be as deep. I usually never rate games; but I consider this to be a masterpiece. I was able to finish the game in a couple of hours, but I’m definitely going to play it again to try get all achievements. Whoever sings has an angelical voice. The game had me almost in tears towards the end. If you like abstract combined with puzzle then prepare for an emotional ride. Sometimes a little push can get you through some tough times. If you are living for Gris story, then I hope you find my comment helpful.

Breathtaking!. This game is absolutely beautiful. The art style and music are incredibly touching, and the fact that there is no speech (that I have encountered yet) makes it accessible to people regardless of their native language. Once you understand the controls, they are very intuitive and easy to use on iPad. This game was worth every penny (much cheaper than on other gaming systems) and I am excited to play more. I have a feeling this game will get very emotional, and that is an amazing thing from a simple side scroller.

Great game, except... Update: I played through a bit (I had already finished it) and there were no audio mess-ups! Plays smoothly with great animation and great music now! Thanks So, as the title implies, I think that this is an amazing game! From what I’ve seen so far, which isn’t much, the animation is great, and the storyline is compelling. I just have one problem. The music, which seems to be the main part of the game, cuts out frequently to be replaced by loud screeching sounds. It’s pretty jarring to be listening to the pleasant, relaxing music, and then have fax machine-like sounds blasted into my ears. I’m not sure if this is just me or if anybody else has had this problem? It would be great if it could be checked out, at least. Thanks!

Perfect in every way except…. I downloaded this game after a friend recommended it to me. I started the game and it is absolutely lovely; the music, character design, and story are all so beautiful. I really would love to continue playing it, but I have not been able to get past the green level for weeks. There is a part in the game when you are in a circular shaped area with a suspended block in the middle that you must jump on with the aid of red butterflies. I know that you must double jump to get a boost from the butterflies, but they completely ignore me every time. I have looked up videos and tutorials, and I am doing everything right, but whenever I double jump over the butterflies, they do not notice me and don’t lift me up. I can’t tell if this is a glitch or if there is a technique I am missing, but it breaks my heart that I cannot progress and experience the rest of this incredible story. If possible, it would be amazing if that portion of the game could be fixed and that the butterflies would respond to my character.

Impossible to play. This game looks awesome. Hell, it even sounds awesome, and from everything I’ve seen, it should be a really wonderful game. But the character will not move. I get a circle sometimes, but you can’t do anything with it. Worse, there’s no tutorial, and I haven’t been able to find anything online. This was a complete waste of time and money, and I’m very disappointed. Also, the music randomly turns to shrieking static and then cuts out. This is very, very, very loud, happens without warnings, and given the fact that I’m wearing headphones, is very, very painful and I ended up having a panic attack after it happened the third time. I did eventually get the character to move, but because of the endless static shrieks followed by periods of silence, I either would have to play with no sound at all or face intense pain. I’m very, very disappointed, and plan to see if I can get my money back. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Dying for an update!!. This game is so beautiful and I want to play it so badly!! Unfortunately I’m having the same horrible audio issues as a few other people. Out of absolutely no where and without warning, a horribly LOUD and scary shrieking static noise cuts into the games audio and doesn’t go away until you exit the app. It scares the absolute crap out of you so be careful when using headphones not to put the audio up too loud. I jumped out of my skin on the train when I was first trying to play this!! Also yes, I’m having trouble with the controls too. I know how they want you to operate her but it’s really difficult to figure out during the first 10 minutes of the game. I’m even down into the red area and I’m having issues. I keep having to restart due to the sound cutting out and it’s waaayyy to loud of a glitching sound to ignore and keep playing. I’m dying to get to the puzzles and stuff and the game is so so beautiful so I really hope an update happens ASAP so I can play. I’ve been waiting and had this game preordered!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Challenging and fun. Gris ishallengng because it requires you to earn capabilities and then learn how and where to use them. It is trial and error, and you sometimes have to try everything everywhere. I do think that on an iPad, at least, the patch in the circle room on level green needs to be widened. Your timing must be perfect to hit the patch that allows you to move on. The patch is too small and I imagine many people quit playing in that spot. But other wise, the game is clever. I appreciate the flowers opening up (during the last half of the game) so that I know where I have been. Otherwise it would be easy to go in circles forever. Great game. The first time I played it took me several hours to complete over 4 or 5 days. The second time it took about 3 hours but was still challenging because I took different routes than the first time.

Bit of a rant, sorry.. So I’m reading through the comments and I see everyone mentioning the controls being a big issue. First I think if you’re going to write a critique on what needs to be fixed then you need to put what iPhone model you have. If you have an old model then it may need to be optimized better for your device. Second, all you need to do when you start is just go right. It’s basic video game knowledge to go right. It started with Mario on NES for crying out loud. This game is all about exploration and discovery. I mean if you want a game to hand hold you then play candy crush. Now, if the game needs to be optimized for your device I get it but if you have a new device and are just mad that you don’t know what to do because the character doesn’t auto scroll move then try another game. That being said this game is great. I have a little bug on the iPhone XS Max though. The top and bottom frame doesn’t fully extend to the edge of the phone.

Buggy jumps. I love the game overall. However the double jumps can be pretty buggy at times which often takes me a long time to get past a puzzle. It can be super frustrating when you can’t seem to move forward no matter how many times you tried. I deleted the game because of frustration and anger. But redownloaded it again and tried my hardest to get past the obstacles. Especially the jumps in the scene where there’s 2 gravity. When I tried to move forward with my left thumb, somehow the control switches to the smashing one and i kept falling down and I was in a constant loop for 30 minutes.

Beautiful, but...... Extremely frustrating! There comes a point where a game crosses the line between being excitingly challenging and frustratingly difficult, and this game crosses that line over and over. It shouldn’t take hours or watching walk-through videos to figure out how to pass certain levels, such as the beginning, the desert, and the disappearing tree platforms, especially for a game that you have to pay for. Other levels, like the windmill, are less about perfect (and I mean, you have to time it down to the nanosecond perfect) timing, and more about solving an intriguing puzzle. Please make it a little less frustratingly difficult (impossible) to finish levels, and more enjoyable.

Terrible OOBE - but great thereafter. After an interminable intro and credits sequence that can’t be skipped, I’m left with a character slumped on the ground and only a single instruction to swipe and hold. So, I swipe and hold over and over and over again. I try up, I try down (sideways doesn’t do anything). Occasionally I get her to stand up, but then she slumps down again whenever I try to swipe to the right. I then remember reading app reviews by others having similar issues. So I try again, and I finally get her up, but she only moves to the left. This takes her to some stairs, at which point she’s totally stuck. This is not fun; only frustrating. After nearly giving up and deleting the app, I muster up a little compassion and figure I’ve just hit a bug. So I force quit, restart, and start a new game. This time I ignore the misleading instructions and just hold down my finger on the left side of the screen until she slowly gets up. Then while still holding, I move to the right, and that’s when the game begins. Once I got past the rocky start, I discovered a beautiful, engaging game. She can’t die, only fall. The puzzles are subtle and interesting, but never infuriating. Clearly a lot of work went into the last 98% of this game, but did anyone actually try to play it from the start? A little QA could’ve saved us all a lot of frustration. The intro gets an F, but the rest earns an A.

A wonderful, spiritual experience.. I never write reviews, but this game was just so beautiful that I had to. As another commenter stated, despite other reviews, the controllers in this game are actually very easy to understand/maneuver-including the controls under water. I had no difficulty with them throughout the game (of course this may be because they resolved the issue later on, but as a mere consumer I don’t know). If you are considering purchasing this, I recommend that you do. It is a very emotional experience, and the artwork and music are absolutely perfect. The story revolving around Gris that they take you through is so touching and, on a deeper level, so relatable that it honestly made me tear up a handful of times. Again, this game was truly lovely. It is something that I have never experienced before and I look forward to future games from this company!

I’ve never cried after finishing a game.. I have spent a lot of time and money playing mobile games, but this one is by far my favorite. I’ve never even considered writing a review for a game before this. I have never felt so connected to a character and so immersed into a world that isn’t even my own. Everything about it is beautiful, the score just blows me away and the art is fantastic. Yes there were a few times I got angry at the controls, but there’s plenty of reviews about that. I finished the game tonight, and when I tell you I’m crying, I mean I’m CRYING!! The ending has no dialogue and I know exactly what she is feeling, I fully understood the intention of this game. As much as I tried, I could not hold back the tears. She is me and I am her, and the next time I lose myself in my grief, I will come back to play again. I will never forget this beautiful masterpiece. Thank you <3

Absolutely Gorgeous. This game is amazing! It’s definitely my favorite. The visuals combine seamlessly with a wonderful sound that sets the mood as you progress through different levels. I made it through the very end and I was only disappointed that it ended. I want to keep playing. The controls are difficult on a touch screen. I would recommend on an iPad rather than the small screen of the phone. I’d likely play again on a regular game console just to see how the controls differ.

Extraordinarily well-done puzzle platformer (brilliant controls). This is a nicely sedate platformer with beautiful, well-designed levels that provide a thoughtful challenge. The controls are easy to get comfortable with, the game eases you in. They become quite natural, for me it’s the best touch screen controls I found in a platform game. Even after a long break from playing, I picked up the controls again in just a few seconds. The levels are fun to explore but you have to meander wondering what to do next, sometimes. You are encouraged to explore and figure out the current challenge to make it further along. And there is a lot to explore. Oh, one suggestion for the developer: at app launch please don’t force us to wait while you slowly fade in various logos. It’s so tedious and annoying to wait for every time the game launches.

A Beautiful Work of Art. I love everything about it from the visuals, music, characters, obstacles and the message of hope. I downloaded this game to take my mind away from all that was going around us. This game has really helped me so much mentally. I will say there was places where I was stuck for while not knowing what to do but it kept me going. I wanted to see what was ahead. I have played this game twice now and still brings me to tears at the end. The beautiful Message of hope is beautifully portrayed. I might start the game again ahaha...I hope the team that worked on this is proud for what they have created “A beautiful work of art”. Gracias! Thank you!

iPhone SE. As everyone has already said, this is a STUNNING game. Impactful. It beautifully illustrated “grief” without any need for words. The music 😘 Visually, one of the best games I’ve played along with Monument 1&2. Highly recommended! The controls were easy to figure out and I didn’t mind wandering around because that’s kinda the point - to enjoy this piece of art. However, 1 point off for the pure frustration of playing the game on iPhone XE. It was extremely frustrating to control the character’s movements. If I could’ve saved my progress through the different chapters, I wouldn’t have minded but since we can’t do that, all the repetition made it vexing sometimes. —— it is hard to be relaxed and immersed in the feelings of the story when you Java to repeat sections so many times

What’s not to love?. This is the first reviews I’ve ever written (and I’ve played lots of great games lol) but after seeing the people who rated ONE STAR! So the game is not the easiest. It’s frustrating when you have to start over levels. Boo hoo. It’s a game. you lose sometimes and then you take a break and come back. I loved this game so much. My four year old loved watching me play and he didn’t get frisbee when we missed jumps he just said “keep trying” and I did and I got to the end. And I loved it. I truly loved the game and I hope to see more from this developer. It was just the right amount of challenge, beauty, and gameplay that you should expect from a game of this genre. Thank you for the experience.

Would be 5 stars if save worked. I seem to have found a bug. I just lost an hours worth of progress. Every time I quit the game it goes to a white screen that I cannot get out of. When I close the app and re open i am at the same point before the square ability every time. I’ve turned on and off cloud saves, I’ve gone back to the windmill section and tried to quit and again every time I’m back before the I had the square power. I love the game and will try to beat it in one sitting, but would be nice if I could save it.

Beautiful, original, a tad toothy short, story cryptic. All worth it. Yes, the story isn’t apparent enough. I'm sure there is a concept behind the story line. It's too easy to miss I find. Half the time I wasn't sure what I was trying to achieve. And though there are levels, it’s not easy to understand what they are as one plays. Or know where you are progress wise. The art work and the vibe is amazing. The game has some unique qualities I have not seen elsewhere. The controls are a little tricky but not to the point when it becomes frustrating. I do wish it was a little longer with more happening within the large space. There are some dead zone one wonder if it was a good way to spend the design time. But overall really kudos for the game. It is still worth it if just for being transported in an other world. I would want to see a part II :)

one of the most beautiful games ever. This is a fantastic game! The touch controls, (for all of the playable options) are top notch for a platformer puzzler (on an iPhone XS). While there is no dialogue, the gorgeous art and the super engaging soundtrack tell a very deep story. This type of game is ideal for the completioner (you know who you are,) as there are switches that have to be activated throughout the entire world (and if you get all of them, rumor has it you unlock a secret ending!) It’s also for the casual player as each of the stages are not very long, and the game has a pretty reliable auto save feature. Most platformer style games have challenging elements that most people might find frustrating, but the touch controls are seriously great, (and intuitive). If you’re looking for a game for your iPhone or iPad, I can’t recommend this one enough!

Wow. Simply wow.. I played GRIS with a PS4 controller on an iPhone 7 and this was one of the best experiences I have ever had. That beautiful artwork and music. Just wow. In the ending I had tears in my eyes because how emotional and exeptionally well they presented the pictures. You understand everything without any text. You don‘t need any guides or something like that because you won‘t get stuck. It plays just so smoothly and intuitive. Wow just hands down one of my favourite games ever. 10 out of 5*

Fix movement and it’s perfect. I have an easy proposition.. The game of course is superb, played through the whole thing on my pc. I was so glad it’s also on the App Store, but there is an issue with movement that needs fixing for the game to be properly playable. I will update my review if fixed!! As a jumping game, movement needs to be precise. For this reason the move left/right mechanic is flawed. Currently you move your finger right or left to move in either direction. While seemingly intuitive, it is not practical. It’s hard to tell when the transition of movement occurs. My Proposition! -> replace or add the ability to click two arrows with a left hand, like on a keyboard, in the lower left corner. It’s simple and allows more precision switching between left and right. Also. Add keyboard functionality. For a game that is normally played on keyboard I am surprised it doesn’t allow it on iPad. Jumping mechanic is good, doesn’t need changing. I really want to get all my non-gamer friends to play this game, and it being on iPad is perfect for this. However, I am holding off until the movement is fixed, since it would be too difficult to play as is.

Beautiful Masterpiece.. I just wanted to say that this game earned 5 whole stars. I would ACTUALLY give it more if possible. I completed this game in a day and it was WORTH EVERY PENNY. The ART and DETAILS put into this was excellent and blew me away. I saw this game originally from TikTok and I was so curious to see what this game was. I didn’t expect this to be this BEAUTIFUL, so I was about to leave the App Store but I decided to read the description on what this was about and I clicked the buy sign right away. I got a little bit confused on where to go, so I recommend a path on where to go after you touch those white specs/ constellations. (This doesn’t do any harm to the rating.) But I finished the game and I realized how BEAUTIFUL and AMAZING this game was. The ending blew me away. When if finished, I also realized how this could connect to real life situations. The girl was lost in her own world. (Anxiety and depression in real life) but at the end when she was taken away from her dark side (Anxiety, Bad thoughts in real life), she met the beautiful and happy lady statue (Happy and loved side in real life), she found her true colors and feelings again. (Cure, love in real life). This game was the most worth it game I have ever bought in my whole entire life. Worth every single penny. Beautiful.

an actual review 100%. As a 16 year old that games everyday I’ve come across many different game designs, but this is the best I’ve seen so far. The art in this game is visually stunning and carries such an impactful meaning. Gris made me solve puzzle’s that weren’t too difficult or easy. They were just right to where I didn’t get angry playing the game. I was constantly in aww and would even screenshot moments just because I saw it as art; it had me speechless many times. I’m beyond impressed, though it is short for a story mode game it’s worth it. Many people complain about getting stuck and have some things to say about being confused, but these are people that haven’t played games. If you don’t play games often or only have apps on your phone it may at first be difficult to get a grip on, but use your creativity and I promise you will make it through. Again best mobile game I’ve ever come across, I don’t say that lightly.

iPhone 8. This game speaks no words but only sounds🙃....loss for word games like these speaks only in the mind which means figuring out the story without narratives, or characters speaking. It’s so much of a feel with spirituality in this game that is touching with Gris and her dress....connecting your spiritual thought with this game of strategical thinking 🤔 with no need of talking is rewarding. Directions are for you progressing through the game with a strong mind of what is going on and how to achieve further takes patience, thinking, strategy, non frustrated mindset, and spiritual connection with the games meaning. 5 stars to this beautiful gem 💎 piece!!

Beautiful story told through a game. I’m already at a loss for words. The esthetics combined with the music is just unbelievably amazing, it kept catching me by surprise. The rock structures, windmills, underwater world, the forest, the fowl, it’s just so good. Plus the game was super fun, there were different abilities I could unlock. Some of the reviews I’ve seen are complaining about the controls, but I’m here to say that the controls were perfectly find for me and the game taught me clearly how to move my character. Also I loved it every time I unlocked a new color.

This is an artistic masterpiece of a game.. This game is amazing. That art and design; a treat to the eyes. The music creates an emotional experience that made me feel what I was meant to feel. Now, I’ve seen people complaining about the controls, the automatic camera angles, or the undefined plot. What does it mean? Gris is a game that describes a feeling with visuals and music. It’s not like other games that feed on spam-clicking and other stress-inducing factors. Gris is made of feelings, wrapped in serenity. It’s an art piece. Artworks don’t always make sense in a logical way. The gameplay is serene and beautiful- once finishing Gris, I felt awestruck. I knew it was worth it. Others have a more emotional connection to it. Gris is built up from the stages of grief, and that idea has made a big impact to people who have lost loved ones. (from observation) Though I may not have any losses and grudges that hold me down, Gris had me tear up a bit. It truly is an artistic masterpiece. Thanks for listening to my Ted talk! All jokes aside, this game is jaw-dropping and beautiful.

Looks stunning but can't overlook audio issue. I haven't been able to play more than 2 minutes of the game because there is a random high pitched screech that occurs followed by silence. The game can continue but given that sound is a big part of this game, it's hard to follow it without sound. The game recommends you use headphones and when the screech occurred, honestly, it was painful. This is the first time I've ever experienced something like this and it is jarring. Given the cost of the app, I'd like to think that the developers are on this issue. Otherwise I will have to ask for a refund. Which would be unfortunate, since it looks like it would be a fun adventure. I'll await an update from the developers.

One flaw, but great progression.. At first, this game was boring, but over time, the color in the temple, forest, Green temple, Light temple, and the ending had got me into this game more and more. Although, you could’ve used more pointers on what to do at first, and could’ve added other paths to take. I have seen everything in the game, and a sequel would be the best thing in my entire life. Please add At Least a few megabytes worth of content.. it would add a more interactive compensation and comprehension for a game that is a story to truly behold, especially for a 7th grader with autism like me.

This is that game. So i’m pretty picky when it comes to games but this one just satisfies every urge to play a new game. This game is sooo clean. You have to try it for yourself.

Absolutely Amazing. LOVED this game. A kaleidoscopic adventure with simple yet enthralling puzzles and progression. It’s hard to believe I was playing the same game by the end. Strongly recommend if you liked Monument Valley or Inside. Definitely up there in my top games for IPhone.

Please fix the controls. Can’t even play this game because the controls are so unresponsive it’s impossible to play. It’s such a beautiful game. What a waste.

Special. This game is exceptional. Sometimes crashes at start-up but always reloads o.k. No help from anywhere, you’ll have to work it out, and you might go a little silly but it’s definitely worth it. A cut above the average. If it’s not worth five stars, what is?

Epicness!. This game is so amazingly awesome - the last time any game that came close to this was Monument Valley... the serene, meditative music and elements of the game is worth playing. I was sad it finished so quick cuz i was so hooked onto it that played it non-stop. This game is so minimalist in a very good way - its almost as if you are in a cinematic... and being an artist myself I have to say this is one hell of a creative idea and execution. It doesn’t matter to me if the game is 2 GB or so in size... the feeling of understanding the game in spite of hardly any direction or hints in the game itself is so satisfying that i don’t see any negative aspects of this. If i could give it 6 stars, I would.

Worth the purchase!. Such amazing attention to detail. Was in awe the entire time I was playing. One of the best games I have ever played. An extremely beautiful game!

It made me cry ;w;. I absolutely ADORE this game I’ve played it three times and it still gets me at the end. ;-; I’ve even watched people play it and STILL, I get emotional. I LOVE the style, the story, and the animation! not to mention the angelic singing and music! (I sound like a teacher but anyway) I bought this a couple months ago and only started playing like two maybe three weeks ago and I’m already hooked! I wish there was a second game that was like this. This is the BEST game I’ve ever played!❤️

Underpriced. This game is SERIOUSLY underpriced it’s absolutely phenomenal I love these sorts of games! Highly recommend it!

Worth every cent!!!!!. Firstly, massive THANK YOU to all who worked on this game, it is absolute stunner !!!! Secondly it was a surprise that game lasted longer than 3 days (have a look at the size of the thing). And the last, stop reading the reviews just get the game and experience this beautiful world that Gris is travelling thought, and the reason why she’s doing it will give you goosebumps. Thank you again . Loved every moment playing it.

Gorgeous!. Beautifully designed and intuitive gameplay. The gorgeous score is original and emotive. Mindful and serene yet keeps you hunting for the next challenge.

Controls are a nightmare, graphics too tiny for iOS. Very inaccurate and frustrating, no going back once she turns into a box. Tiny graphics are visually exhausting...

Beautiful game!. I’ve never written a game review! But I had to because this game is amazing! I loved the design, the animation, the music and the challenges. Amazing, wonderful, beautiful.

Be weary of device storage space.. Visually impeccable games comes at a cost. And I decided to rate this game by weighing out the pros and the cons. I’d rather watch gameplays of it online. Because the space it takes up makes it difficult to enjoy, heck I had to delete a lot of my apps to even try playing it. And even then, I paid $8 so it can ask me to delete my apps. Not a good first impression.

every stage just gets better and better. it starts off so simple and each new stage becomes more dynamic in play and aesthetic. such a beautiful game, visually stunning, narratively sublime, amazing score. there’s so much to like about this game.

Wonderful. This is one of the most amazing games I’ve ever played! What’s especially nice is that it is really long and you get very lost in this exotic world. Worth every cent. ❤️

Masterpiece. This is the most beautiful game I have every played. Absolutely magical. I teared up at the end, so beautiful. I honest to God am blown away by how gorgeous this game is. The story is touching, the music is sensational and the art is beyond stunning. Thank you for making such an incredible game.

Great game, bad controls. This game is great but, the controls are horrible, I go left the character goes up, and the birds to fly upwards are so hard to see, they should be a brighter colour so that you can see them.

It doesn’t work. I was very excited to play this game but it doesn’t work! When I tried to move the character to the right she doesn’t walk. But when I move her to the right does. I tried the app with my IPad and my IPhone. Non of it works.

Controls. I was really enjoying it until I got to the blue section ice puzzles. They are nearly impossible to get using the iPad controls. Devs probably should have thought of some way to counteract the timing issues with the fiddly iPad controls. Turned a relaxing game into a stress inducing one

The best. This game was one of the most interesting, fun and emotional experiences I have ever played to all that play it hope you love it can’t wait if there’s a pt 2

Flying doesn’t work. As another reviewer commented, the flying feature is too difficult with Iphone. The game became stressful. I’m stuck and it’s not fun anymore.

It's the most beautiful game I've ever played. 😭 the art and music makes simply hanging out in the game worthwhile. The puzzles are fun too! I'm not good at puzzle or parkour games but this one I feel like I can really get through ~

Good for young pups. If you are old like me, treat yourself to the PC version. To play this on my phone required my strongest reading glasses and slightly painful nimbleness of thumbs. Nevertheless, a high quality game and beautiful experience especially if you’re a confident platformer.

Wonderful!!!. A master piece!!! The game, the music, the graphic, all is so beautiful!!! One of the best game i ever played!!! Congratulations!!!

Comment gris. Unique, beautiful art style, vibrant, love setting but frustrated through the game play cause some parts are damn hard so I need to watch walkthrough to figure out what should I do

AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE!!!. This MASTERPIECE of a game kept me hooked from the moment I started it up! Easy to learn controls, absolutely Gorgeous music (seriously, I bought the soundtrack on iTunes), STUNNING Hand-Drawn visuals, and a beautifully crafted symbolic story that you have to look closely at, you will not regret getting this title!

crashing :(. i love this game so much! but once i got to the yellow colour it started crashing whenever i opened it, i’m not sure if this is a new thing or not but i’m really disappointed because i want to see what happens next :(

Very good game - but not the best on mobile. This is a very good game with amazing music and graphics, but the controls on mobile aren’t the best. I think there is some sort of bug on the first bit as you have to swipe downward and slightly to the right from the far left side of the screen to get her to move, and it’s very finicky. After a little bit (2ish mins) it seems to fix itself, though. There are also some scenes where it would be better to have a bigger screen - but this works on iPad too so maybe I’ll try it on there. Overall it’s a great game - would be awesome if that initial bug could be fixed though!

Not activating. In the room with the single tree with the clusters of red birds flying around it, it won’t activate the super big jump, there is no other way to progress in the game I am stuck. Other than that it is a very beautiful game. :)

Gosh this game is a beautiful experience. The gameplay is a means to explore the gorgeousness of this experience and it’s all a wonderful journey

AMAZING GAME. HGSJHS THIS GAME IS AWESOME I TOTALLY RECOMMEND. it's so beautiful and peaceful and it is so relaxing. the art is amazing and i love the music. this is by far my favorite game. i with there was more though! i was so sad when it ended so can u please make a part two or sum?

Gorgeous. Maybe the best mobile game I’ve played. Incredible art, music and gameplay.

Absolutely beautiful game. I play it on my IPad, and the artwork’s style and animation are amazing, every part of it is just unique and gorgeous. 100% recommend!

Not great. I can’t move on from the beginning. She will walk to the left but not to the right, she just keeps falling down. I restarted the game and my phone so I’m extremely frustrated.

Flying not working. It’s a beautiful game but I’m playing on iPhone x and the flying feature is way too hard to use. Got stuck on the stage where you have to get on top of the blocks after learning to fly

Gorgeous. Visually beautiful game with touching themes and atmosphere. Game play is fairly intuitive and visually beautiful. Wish there were more games like this out there.

Stunning!. The visual experience and easy to navigate gameplay I’ve been dying for since completed both Monument Valley games. Lose yourself splashes if water colour and seamless design, Gris is sure not to disappoint!

Hits like a truck. I haven’t felt this emotionally involved since Brothers a tale of two sons. Absolutely gorgeous visually, deftly composed musical arrangements, controls are right on point, and that story... man. This game deserves all the praise it’s gotten. Bonus points! It plays really well on an iPad and controller connected to the TV.

Fantastic and Theraputic. This is the first game I have ever purchased. I was a little nervous, but it is everything it claims to be. I love the puzzles, the exploration, and the sense of satisfaction I had when accomplishing difficult tasks. Some parts are hard, but not impossible, and the beautiful music and graphics made it very relaxing. On a more personal note, this game was also therapeutic and cathartic.

just not worth it. i found the controls too sensitive , i ended up just getting really frustrated. i actually physically hate this game.

Waking Mars and Ecco the Dolphin meet Monument. Exploratory gameplay somewhat similar to Waking Mars, with new abilities discovered each level, and often surprising shifts in the platformer geography. A few tricky parts, usually solved by realizing your abilities can be applied in clever ways. The art is spectacular, like being in a vividly detailed illustration. I was preoccupied by the visuals and gameplay, and missed much of the emotional framing the first time through. Returning to replay for the achievements gave a chance for the wordless grief/healing journey to sink in. A few crashes (iPad mini4), especially in the first desert section. But after a few frustrating restarts, the rest of the game smoothed out and was so worth it. Best unusual meditative/beautiful iOS game since Frost. I’m playing again now for the last Easter-egg achievements.

Had to request a refund. The game is gorgeous and I really want to play it, but gameplay is impossible without a MFI control device, so, sadly, had to uninstall , because I’m not going to incur on an expensive extra gadget purchase, just to have the luxury. Please make it iPad compatible and create a help section easy to access if you get stuck controlling the character’s moves, at least for the first stages of the journey. Thank you!

beautiful but my phone hates it. i am a sucker for beautiful games, and this met all my requirements. it was well designed, intriguing, challenging and overall amazing to play. i got through a good portion of it in a day of playing, but all of a sudden the controls stopped working and my entire phone was glitching and unresponsive until i defeated the app. same goes for my other devices. even after reinstalling it and restarting my phone it starts glitching again. i was so close to finishing the game before this happened and it’s a huge disappointment because this was such a beautiful and fun game to play. i’d still say it’s worth the $7, if only for the beautiful art.

Please sort out the bugs!. The game itself is beautiful but please please fix the controls! I’m at the first playable part and the game is glitching and prevents me from walking right and beginning the game, I can only stand up and walk left until i hit the world limit. I can see from the other reviews that this is a common issue. Furthermore the menu “controls” section is useless, its just a picture of a dot with the word “jump”. Please fix because im sure wed love to be able to play it!

I like this game. But iPhone12 mini cannot display this game in full screen, I hope this problem can be solved in the future！

The sound. Every time I quit the game for a few seconds and then return to it, the sound doesn’t work. I have to quit the game and restart it again and again.

Best mobile game out there. Gris was definitely a breathtaking experience. This game takes the cake when it comes to artistic design. I’m for sure going to play it again in the future!

This is an experience. Truly exceptional work. I have just finished and I am in awe. This game is beautifully created, from the art style, to the music, to the various elements and their introduction. This is a AAA game and even calling it just a game sells it short. Simply incredible.

Amazingly beautiful. Incredible game. I cannot fly on the round room with the square rock floating tough. I try to do as in the walktrough but it’s not working. IPad Pro.

Amazing artistry. Absolutely stunning and a beautiful story. The gameplay, story and environment are so captivating

gris. great game everything is great bu holy crap in the water level with the crystals PLEASE i need more time between freezes ik your supposed to work quick but not 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000034 seconds quick thats the only problem everything else is BEAUTIFUL, PERFECT, AND HIGHER THAN MY EXPECTATIONS wow

Best $6.99 I’ve ever spent.. Absolutely amazing. Beautiful music, beautiful scenes, beautiful movement, beautiful colours; it’s just beautiful, ok? Do yourselves a favour and get it.

A MASTERPIECE!!!. This game was breathtaking and the perfect amount of challenge. So, so incredibly gorgeous in not only the art and colors and shapes, but also the game mechanics and movement, as well as how the world flows into itself to create an amazing setting and world concept. I don’t normally pay for games but this one is WELL WORTH IT. It’s also the only time I’ve been compelled to watch all the credits, just because this game moved me and I wanted to try to imagine what the people who made this are like.

The audio issues are an absolute dealbreaker. It pains me to rate this otherwise beautiful game with only 1 star, but the audio issue is really preventing me from enjoying this game. It's sudden, sporadic, and disruptive with its high pitch static noise. And it really, really takes away from the experience. I thought my headphones were going bust, but after some investigation I've found cold comfort in knowing others are having the same issue. Restarting the game isn't a working workaround. I've played a bit of gris before on Windows and was blown away by that, so I'm really disappointed with the iOS version. Hope it's fixed soon.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve gasped in the beauty of this game. It’s like a indie art house French anime dream🥰LOVE being high playing this game, PLEASE bring it to the Apple TV. Especially great on an iPad with a controller. A wonderful experience, thank you to the team of artists and developers for creating such a wonderful experience. I anxiously look forward to what your next project will be🙌🏽☀️

Excellent — with one major flaw. I’m really enjoying the game so far. The art style, the music, the light puzzles — all are fantastic! My one issue is that when playing audio through an external device, such as Bluetooth headphones or Apple TV, I periodically experience significant audio artifacts or the sound cuts out entirely. It’s of course frustrating to have such a wonderfully immersive game experience disrupted suddenly with either very jarring noise or silence. Otherwise, however, the game is great. Kudos to the dev team!

So beautiful! Right up there with Monument Valley.. The only flaw I experienced was swimming was really difficult to control. Otherwise this is a wonderful game with a unique design and mood. Worked well on an iPhone 8 Plus but was better and easier to see on an iPad Pro 11”. I just finished the game but I’ll play it again.

Pretty game. Needs some audio/video options. Headphones required I guess. I don’t have any sound otherwise. Extends screen under notch on iPhone 11. Annoying. I oughtta be able to change that, and max to rectangular screen extents. Heck, that should be iOS default behavior. The swipe bar also persists during gameplay. It shouldn’t. Or there should be an option for that. Again, maybe the iOS defaults are to blame, but I’ve seen ads remove it. So I know it can be done.

Beautiful, Encouraging. This game is spectacular, and an absolute work of art. Gris was beautiful from start to finish - the visuals, the music, and the story all wove together seamlessly - and it was ultimately an experience of hopefulness. I’m so glad I tried this game, and I’m looking forward to playing through it again. On that note, congratulations Nomada Studio for winning “Mac Game of the Year”. Your work on Gris deserves that recognition.

Visually and musically stunning!. Loved this, gorgeous, perfectly paired soundtrack and sound effects. Struggled in a couple of spots using the touch screen controls on my iPhone. Eventually got so frustrated in one spot that I bought a Nimbus SteelSeries wireless controller for my phone. SO much easier. Highly recommend picking one up for this game, you will be much happier. Sad I finished the game, hoping to find another game as good as this one to play with my new controller.

Gorgeous & Absorbing. This game is just beautiful - beautiful music, incredible graphics for each landscape, fun and challenging gameplay, and an absorbing journey. I loved discovering a new ability for Gris at the end of each chapter as she goes through the 5 stages of grief. I actually like that the game lets you figure some things out for yourself, that’s the point of playing a game, right?

Beautiful. I rarely play video games on mobile. I grew up playing on Nintendo devices and then others as I grew older and new tech was released (GameBoy Color, N64, GameCube, GameBoy Advance, Xbox, 3DS, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4). The only mobile games I’ve played for more than a few days and would recommend are Oceanhorn and Monument Valley (1 & 2). GRIS was released on the Nintendo Switch earlier this year and I bought it then but remember wishing it was available for the iPhone or iPad. Now it’s available on both (and you only have to purchase it one time)! I’m playing on a 2018 iPad Pro and an iPhone XS Max and have encountered no difficulties. The game is smooth, elegant, theatrical, engaging and is honestly a masterpiece. It’s really impressive how polished the game is. 10/10 would recommend and am recommending

Gorgeous. Unusable.. Two stars for a beautiful intro, incredible style, and great music. -3 for being completely unplayed. After spending a half an hour trying to get her to do anything other than stand up or sit down, even after I finally got her moving, I couldn’t get the hang of it. No idea what makes her go and what doesn’t even through an entire level. Figured out how to jump, but run and jump is impossible. Worst controls I’ve even experienced.

Stunning game, but. So I’m at the part of the game where it’s a giant circle and the upside down tree in the center and you need to double jump up to the top. There’s a small branch you’re supposed to jump on to get to the red birds to jump up. The branch is not possible to jump on top of, though? I’ve watched the walkthroughs and you are supposed to jump on top of the branch so I am very confused. Am I doing something wrong or is it just a large glitch?

Good effort. The game is pretty. Now for the negatives. The two biggest flaws are that the gameplay is too slow and you don’t know what you’re playing for. You walk around a lot and are met with occasional obstacles. When you get to the obstacles, you’re already too bored from the slowness and lack of motivation. You have no drive overcome the obstacles or the cryptic thought process of the designer. I’d play the next game this designer makes, but was uninterested in finishing this one.

Beautiful!. I’m an old fart (over 50) using an iPhone 10 and I found the controls simple to use and got very far in the game on my first try. I got up to the two vases level and had to stop because of time restraints. I read some of the reviews and was leary of downloading it but I’m glad I did. The game is very relaxing and it’s fun finding all of the hidden surprises so far in the game. I’ve already found and crosses two light bridges and thoroughly enjoy the game so far.

Love the game hate the control. I absolutely love this game. But the iPad interface for the motion control is pretty bad. When you really need to control her movements, especially when she’s flying, then control gets stuck and she will only jump/fly vertically when you need her to move in a direction. It’s incredibly frustrating. If it weren’t for that i would give it 5 stars because i love everything else.

My honest opinion. I really enjoyed playing this game I finished it today and it was really good makes you think a lot so that’s good I’m hoping there’s more updates in the future because the artwork, the music, and the levels all of it is really good I enjoy playing this game and I’m hoping to see more in the future

Aesthetic yet frustrating. I wanted to give this game a chance despite the fact I don’t normally play puzzle games because I heard great things about it. Alas, it became too challenging especially with the IOS controls and lack of a good tutorial. It’s sad because I’m sure this game had a lot of potential as well as a moving story. I wish there was a mode where you can just see the story unfold. If the game was more forgiving/ accessible it would be much better.

actually way better than expected. i was a little worried that the game would just be pretty art but this is a really great game. it’s not meant to be tricky and tells the story through little pieces, the pacing is wonderful. i’m so bad at describing the emotional aspect but overall it’s so worth paying for and i HIGHLY recommend playing. thank you for the great experience!!

Beautiful and moving game. I played this game on my iPad Air from start to finish. After reading some other reviewers mentioning the issues with control/gestures in the games to make the character move, I will say I never had any issues with that. I will say the music and artistry in the game is beautiful and moving. This game is absolutely worth every penny.

Frustrating. The description of this game and the reviews I’ve read say it’s not frustrating. Then how is it that I’m frustrated by this game? Yes, it’s very pretty. It’s also bewildering and frustrating - qualities I do not enjoy in a game (and which this game was purported not to have, which is a big reason I bought it). I’ll take a break from it and come back to it tomorrow or so and see if a solution has dawned on me. I just hope it has so that I’m not out five dollars for nothing.

Gorgeous, but really frustrating to control. Incredibly beautiful and imaginative. But there is frequently a lag in control response (using a recent-vintage iPad) that makes it really frustrating to play. Also, sometimes the landscape zooms out so far that it’s nearly impossible to see what’s happening. But it’s the controls that are forcing me to abandon, after getting well into the blue level.

Gorgeous and powerful. An incredibly beautiful game with amazing soundtrack and a deep meaningful story about a girl literally putting the pieces back together after a trauma/dealing with depression. I have been dealing with depression myself and playing this game took me to a peaceful space and the story itself gave me hope. Needless to say many tears. So much love for this game and its creators.

Absolutely Amazing. this game was amazing to me, it did have a lot of challenges and I did get stuck a couple of times but that’s what made the game worth it. I loved all the colors and the beautiful music throughout the game and I would definitely play it again, I recommend everyone try this game out.

Must Play. GRIS is a work of art and it should be talked about as so, however it is a very fun and mind challenging game. You work through a world of pain and agony meanwhile solving those problems and achieving new skills to help you along the way. The end is very rewarding and it’s ability to speak to the human mind and soul is unmatched to any game I have played before. I definitely recommend this if you love alternate worlds and the beautiful creation that is the human soul and heart.

Otherworldly Experience. This game is the most beautiful platflormer I have ever played. The music is ever so appropriate for ever level and the visuals are as if you’ve fallen down the rabbit hole. Gris can also be a healing experience for those who are broken by life (I can’t explain much in order to avoid spoilers). This is an artistic interpretation/journey of discovering who the character you play is and what haunts her life.

Would love to give 5 stars... but controls. This game is a masterpiece, but unfortunately the stiff controls make getting through the game cumbersome. This game has the ability to take a person to another world, but until the controls feel fluid... it won’t. Amazing art style and music but the game itself shouldn’t be this hard to control. I want to be relaxed and in the art instead of constantly doing the same level because the controls don’t cooperate.

Most beautiful game ever (contains mild spoilers). Such a beautiful game! Probably the best mobile game I’ve ever played. Mild spoilers ahead: My favorite thing is how even the scary things turn out to be trying to help you heal. The bird that screams at you is helping you jump farther. The eel that snaps at you is driving you out of the darkness, and turns out to be the light of the turtle that helped you see in the dark from before, all along.

Beautiful, evocative, relaxing. I enjoyed this game over a few days. It’s a good platformer, very relaxing and rewarding to play. I looked forward to playing it at the end of the day. I used a controller. It’s a bit confusing that there is also Gris+ on Arcade which works on Apple TV.

Wish I Could Play It Again For The First Time. Gris is such a beautiful game that I’m so grateful for stumbling upon. A story of grieving and rebuilding your world by learning to see the colors of life again; it’s a deeply relatable experience that anyone can enjoy and appreciate. It’s a fun platforming game that is not overly challenging. I love it for the gorgeous scenery and touching soundtrack. It’s so well-polished and a pleasure to play through!

Beautiful Game. I almost never play games, but I played this game for 5 days straight. It’s visually so beautiful, the soundtrack is so soothing, the puzzles are well thought out, and it’s almost movie-like. You can’t die, so no feelings of anxiety. There was one or two alarming moments, but it’s part of the movie-like experience and you aren’t in control at the time anyway. Currently looking for a replacement game to replace my beloved Gris.

Just Perfect!. I've been following the development of this game for a long time and I'm so happy to see that it's finally here on iOS, it's just as beautiful as I expected and I got goosebumps watching the opening scene, and just being able to enjoy the game has been a great experience. I wish more developers would put out more games like this. Makes me not hate mobile gaming!

A really good game. This game took me on a fantasy beautiful story. I usually like shooter games but this was a great adventure. So different and well thought. I love the meaning of the story and the graphic design. One of the best games I’ve ever played. I thought I wasn’t going to be able to get into it but I couldn’t stop playing it. I would give it more stars if possible

Spiritual. Right when I saw the artwork for this game I knew I wanted to try it out, and I was not disappointed to find that the score and following adventure were just as enticing. This work of art was truly an experience, and you can certainly tell the team behind it meant it to be. I highly recommend this game, you won’t be disappointed!

Breath-taking!. Both as a counselor and as one who has journeyed through much personal grief, I found this to be a beautiful (visual and audio) and moving journey that truly captures the elements of grief. Though some aspects of the game were a bit challenging, it is intended to be an interactive journey/maze more focused on exploring and strategy than on skill. Gris is a beautiful, interactive medium that can offer space for processing grief as you journey through its worlds.

bought for commute but unusable with Bluetooth. I was enraptured with design, gameplay, and soundscape...unfortunately I only play games on my daily commute (I ride a train, I’m not endangering anyone lol) so imagine my disappointment when I almost began bleeding from the ears from outrageous high decibel skitchy staticky noise when I sat down to play properly for the first time at 6am...upside didn’t need coffee, downside pretty much unusable for me and actually left me with tinnitus...fortunately only temporarily T T hope a patch comes through, until which cannot recommend here...but on steam instead

Incredible Experiencd. This is a landmark experience for me. Conrad Roset’s art is incredibly well translated to video games, and I hope we see more featuring his work in the future. The music by Berlinist fits the art and theme so well. Nomada Studio knocked it out of the park. Although I think this best plays on a big screen with the volume turned up, I’m happy to have it on iOS now to revisit anytime.

Really Easy and Fun. Loved this game, definitely got me through a few classes. The art is beautiful and the controls are pretty easy to use (Im sorry but if you’re complaining, you might just be bad; i played this on an iphone SE and did fine) the score is so soothing too, and the mechanics all looked so elegant. Story’s great too. I really don’t have anything bad to say!

Beautiful.... This is the most stunning game I have ever played, the story that it implies and the adventure that you take, it’s breathtaking.. the music, the world, it’s simply gorgeous. The end had my eyes welled up with tears, I’ve never felt so much for a game. It’s very therapeutic and entrancing. I really do recommend this game to anyone who’s interested. I’m playing on an iPhone 6s Plus and it worked beautifully.

Beautiful and moving. I know it’s been said many times already, but this is really the most beautiful game I’ve ever played. The artwork, music, and symbolism are very moving, and I actually feel like I learned something from the game. Don’t be surprised if you cry at the end.

Gorgeous Game, but Brutal Controls. I wanted to love this game... The graphics are gorgeous, the music is incredible, and altogether there is a wonderful flow to have the game, the character, and the world evolves. However, later in the game when you get to the more complex and intense jumping puzzles, especially when you mix the swimming form and have to grab the birds and then time your first jump just right to release the birds and time the next jump just right and if you don’t.... do-over. That’s what killed it for me. I haven’t finished the game and that’s incredibly disappointing for me, especially considering how gentle and smooth the game is as a whole. I don’t know if this is particular to just iPhone, but the jumping mechanics are just too “flowy” when several parts of the game require pin-point accuracy in order to progress. So, anyone interested in this game, be wary: It is a wonder to behold, but if you don’t have immense skill with platformer jumping mechanics, you will struggle hard in this game.

I know you screenshotted the art, don’t lie. The art and music in this game is stunning! The use of colors and music is exemplary, and the characters are well designed. The music and the camera angles are also utilized to their fullest extent to provide priming (scared the heck outta me lol) and convey emotions. 10/10 game, would play again :D

Hands down worth every penny it was amazing!!!!. I didnt come across any problems unlike some other reviews dont let that deter you!! This game was so amazing to play and so moving, the ending almost made me cry and I definitely haven’t experienced a mobile phone game like that before. I wish it was longer but either way it was very enjoyable to play and very therapeutic.

Absolutely amazing and gorgeous!. I intended to use this game to kill some time, ended up staying up playing because it is absolutely beautiful visually and wonderful sound wise, some parts proved to be a puzzle I wasn’t expecting but so happy to have found. I SERIOUSLY recommend this game!!!

Screeching in Ears.... I love the aesthetic and am willing to learn thru the game as I go, but I keep running into a bug, where the melody that the developer is so proud of cuts out and reduces to a long screeching. The screeching sputters in an out before killing all the audio together. I tried restarting the game, just removing my headphones, and even just bearing with it and playing but the problem happens consistently on 2 levels so far. I’ll take a break and check later but this is NOT what should be happening for a $5 game...

This is the first game I give this to ... EVER. This game started and I wasent expecting anymore than a side scroller rush game... I was so wrong! I do have a few areas of anger but that’s due to a weak phone trying to run it but this was stunning and heck I’ve made a few screenshots my wall paper ... this game is stunning

Pretty game, but unintuitive controls. Gris just keeps falling down. Great music, looks great when others play it. Horrible player on boarding experience. If you have someone to teach you the first section just how to move, the game builds and is a great puzzle which unfolds. They scaled too far back though and didn’t tell the player anything, which is just frustrating. A little bit more would have gone a long long way

Beautiful Game, big glitch though. Gris has beautiful graphics and is definitely a game worth playing. One thing that is currently disappointing is that nearing the end on Level 5, after connecting the constellations, you fall on a flip side. At that point, it game glitched out. When I opened it back up, I was just floating in a blue screen. It would be unfortunate to start over and lose my progress. Hopefully this glitch gets fixed.

Unbelievably Perfect. This game is incredible. The visuals are literally jaw-dropping. The music is beyond fantastic. The gameplay is simple and calming. The story told is one of my favorite video-game stories I’ve ever experienced. The only flaw is that it’s far too short. I finished the whole thing in one four-hour long sitting. I’d pay twice as much for a sequel with a bit more gameplay involved. Absolutely love this game.

Nice artwork; frustrating gameplay. This is one of those infuriating platform-jump games where you have to negotiate a series of several jumps, some of which require precise-to-the-microsecond-timing — and apparently a degree of luck — and each time you miss, you have to start over from the first jump (no save points). To further increase the frustration level, they put in an every-30-seconds windstorm that ALSO knocks away your progress (if any). Still worse, in the iOS port of the game, just a few minutes into the game are a couple of jumps that are just plain impossible (didn’t they beta test the port?). Refund applied for.

So beautiful.. Is been a while since I've purchased and played a game and I'm so glad I chose this one. It's beautiful. The backgrounds, the motion, the lovely character, the music (the music!) and the sounds. The entire game is a work of collaborative art. I hesitate to even call it a "game". It's more like a world you fall into each time you play. Thank you so much for creating it.
