Gris is an excellent and short game. The less said about the experience, the better. So briefly, I loved my experience with it, this is basically an arthouse painting coming to life and you have various interpretations of the subject. To me, I felt it explored depression and a person who is truly broken. Of course, there is more than that, but I believe that's best for the gamer to decide. It's a game that uses its medium quite effectively to explore certain ideas. The gameplay was never intrusive and felt intuitive the entire time and it has some good level design. There was one section I was a little bit stuck on, but you can figure it out quite easily. The controls and gameplay do take a step back to take in a wonderful atmosphere. The music was bloody fantastic and complemented the visuals in creating an immersive experience. It is no exaggeration to state every frame can be a painting. Overall, Gris is an excellent game and worth 3-4 hours of your time.

Note: Either 8 or 9/10, I'm unsure.
