The most visually beautiful game I've ever played...
If you've ever wondered what it would be like to play through a watercolor painting, this is as close as you're ever going to get. I cannot overstate how gorgeous the visuals and accompanying music is in Gris. It really is a piece of art worth experiencing.
That said, if you strip all that out, it's a pretty middling, slow-placed platformer. The game is incredibly soothing. A combination of how soothing it is and how kind of boring it is to play put me to sleep on two separate occasions. Normally I'd knock a game a lot harder for literally making me fall asleep while playing it but this game really did me in a complete state of peace.
Zero interest in ever returning to it to get all the collectibles but boy was it worth playing once.
