Gris Review

45 Comments

1. If there was any guns, for any reason at all it would of gotten at least an 8.

2. This kind of reviews why I hate IGN/GS it’s just idiotic to judge a hole genre you don’t like by comparing it to another genre you like Gris is not platformer like Celest it’s an emotional experience/puzzle game like Journey/Abzue.. watch SkillUp review guys it’s more informative

3. If a period was a game …

4. IGN 6.5: "Too much G, not enough R, and I, and S."

5. When IGN gives a game a low score it means the opposite. " this is a masterpiece -6.5" ???

6. I wonder why there are so many dislikes lol

7. what ing has done is like comparing a picture with a comic book

8. Gris means pig in norwegian.

9. Getting really angry on IGN. Not going to watch any reviews from you guys. SKILL UP was so much better than you.

10. Doesn't seem to be my sorta game like…..at all but I kinda felt like the score should be a bit higher….

11. The lack of replayability isn’t inherently a bad thing. Games can be designed to be completed and moved on from. In fact, I welcome many of these types of games because it lets me get my fill without having to invest so many hours just to “fully experience” a game.

12. It's essentialy unfair to grade a game like this on a similar scale to Triple A games and other "conventional" games of today. Naturally, the reviewer has a right to an opinion, but grading this on a similar scale just detracts viewers from potentially playing a unique take on a game, from a very small developer (mostly 3 guys) with a clear talent to touch people's hearts on a deeper level with their sublime artwork, intuitive gameplay and masterful soundtrack.
    For another review perspective I would recommed Skill Up's review. The game's certainly not for everyone, but one should form his own opinions on more than just a review score, hopefully.

13. Fair Enough

14. The comparison to celeste is completely unfair. Completely different focus points.

15. Figured as much, more style than substance

16. Gris is a visual masterpiece…. I give it a 6.5.?

17. DId he say "lust and grief"?

18. Calls it a masterpiece in the begining. Gets a 6.5

19. Not sure why Celeste is brought up multiple times.

20. anyone who is interested in this game already knows its a 10/10 just for the stunning artwork alone. this man is reviewing this game as if its trying to be some gameplay-focused video game instead of a moving visual art piece.

21. Why compare it to Celeste?

22. Why are you comparing this game to Celeste?

23. Whyyyy do you guys always say these games are amazing , masterpieces ect and then give it 5.3 or 6.4 ?!

24. When reviewing a game, a little research should be done on how the title is pronounced.

25. I understand the critical points but man the look of it alone is worth a 9er. It's beautiful, i'm getting it.

26. Go watch Skill Up's review instead of this garbage, at least he knows how to justly judge a game

27. Makes me think of a 2D "Journey"

28. wow, IGN really needs to hire smarties people to review Indie games, because these guys are totally not getting it.

29. Shame IGN, shame…

30. Game explain and skill up reviewed this much better

31. "gris" means pig in swedish…..

32. 6.5? Reeeeeeeeeeeallly?!?! If you think this game is beautifully amazing, why didn't you give it a praying score like 9.6/10 or a solid 10/10? Also, IGN has become the new Jim Stirling, ever since their review of the Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire remakes.?

33. This one does not appreciate art I see

34. In my country, gris means pig

35. Guys, please go watch SkillUp's video instead of this embarrassing mess. IGN never ceases to disappoint.

36. The negative aspects of the game mentioned in the review are clearly accurate; nonetheless, the game looks magnificent. Worth the try.

37. This is such an inaccurate rating. The game is amazing and games are just another platform for displaying dynamic works of art. GRIS is much more than 6.5

38. The review seems fair. It can be the world's prettiest game but if you have those core flaws like depth perception in a platformer it can make things a nightmare.

39. 6.5 Now get outta here

40. that should be a cartoon movie instead of game

41. 6.5? Están locos? El juego es maravilloso!!

42. 6.5/10 too much graphics

43. He called it a masterpiece at the beginning and gives it a 6.5… OK..

44. Why the hell would you compare this to Celeste? It looks and feels nothing like that. It's like comparing Far Cry to Doom: in both games you shoot stuff, but that's where the similarities end. 
    Oh and really, if you can't distinguish back – and foreground one from another, it may be time for glasses because those rocks are clearly positioned in the foreground, come on.

45. 6.5 exploring too hard
