Gris Review

29 Comments

1. this reviewer does not understand that a game does not need to be a super entertaining with cool mechanics and micro transactions. video games are an art form. and that is why he fails to understand the game and why he falsely compares this to a plat former like celeste, a game where it is much more a form of entertainment than art

2. 2/10 award bait

3. Just finished it.
   This game is worth buying.

4. The sheer incompetence of IGN is maddening

5. How can you even compare this game with Celest LOL

6. IGN is just embracing the meme at this point.

7. You should Go watch gameXplain’s review if you wish for it to be accurate. He sets his points out clearly and appreciates the game for what it is while giving fair critiques (that being 1).

8. Walking simulator

9. Honestly IGN by now is just garbage.

10. Why are video game companies trying to make us all cry nowadays?!?

11. Gris' level design is magnificent in a way where it expertly guides you to where you need to go without being to overt. How do you get lost in a game like this?

12. Fak u Ign

13. he sounds like skill up lol

14. comparing gris to celeste is like comparing yandere simulator to hitman or persona

15. Gris is a French word for grey. It's pronounced Gree, not Griss.

16. I was watching a playthrough of this game and watched carefully, and after read what was said about the meaning of the game: A daughter going through the stages of grief over her mother's death using not only a beautiful soundtrack but color as well. Comparing and belittling a game based on how hard it was for you is shameful.

    As someone who has experienced the grief of losing a parent, it moved me to tears as I watched and understood what the meaning was and felt at peace because it perfectly interpreted how difficult dealing with grief along with accepting that the person is gone. I HIGHLY recommend this game, no thanks to the pure bull that is your "review".

17. I just finished this game and it's certainly not a 6.5. I'll give it a 9 just on the basis of its visuals and music

18. IGN is one of those companies that if it were to go under, I would celebrate.

19. This is a masterpiece

20. I almost never agree with IGN's reviews, but this one was ok. IGN points out several legitimate weaknesses. Mechanics are extremely simple for 90% of the game. Foreground and background are inconsistent which make it irritating. Game is quite short and personally I finished it in less than 3 hours. Most of the music is very pleasant but the ability to grow the plants annoyed me and I tried to minimize trying to use it because it disrupts the pleasant background music. The "story" is purely poetic which can be very powerful or completely nonsensical depending on how the player interprets it. As an experience, it was decent and I would personally give it a little bit higher score than IGN. It deserves a 7/10 almost purely because of the art and music. If it had average art and music, this game would be subpar and would be a 4/10 because of the glaring weaknesses it has as a video game.

21. Don't waste your time here, just check out the steam user reviews.

22. If this is confusing I don't know what planet you are on. If you want confusing try a couple of riddles in Luigi's Mansion (which is also an excellent game).

23. This game is definitely a 9/10. It is a masterpiece of storytelling and gameplay is amazing. I put it in the same category as Alto and Ori and Limbo and…

24. Damn this review is such a joke

25. Usually, I agree with IGN, but here, the review is utter nonsense! 10 from me!

26. dang ratio af hahaha

27. What a big failure this review. It's a beautiful story about the lost and the acceptance.

28. Ain't no Mario kart

29. Maybe i'm wrong but i presume the journalist of this review would vote for "man getting hit by football" in the Springfield Film Festival instead of Barney's shortfilm:)
