This game is absolutely stunning looking. Literally any moment can be a painting. In that respect, Gris is fantastic, but I didn't find the rest of it particularly engaging. I've heard how well Gris represents struggling with mental illness, but personally I wouldn't have made that connection if it hadn't been planted in my brain ahead of time. I think that Gris is more of an interactive poem, and I certainly have a hard time elucidating poem meaning, so it tracks that I would need it spelled out for me. That is to say, Gris is certainly a well-made game and I can understand why many people absolutely love it, but I didn't find the moment to moment game interesting enough--the art completely carries it.
