GRIS is a game that at first does not make you fall in love watching the trailer or the images that we observe by Google. But we need to give you a little chance to enjoy the magic of this video game that will undoubtedly give us several hours of fun and above all tranquility. In this article we tell you all the details and our impressions.
GRIS, a game with impressive art
We must mention that we are facing a game made in Spain , specifically in the Nomada Studio studio located in Barcelona, developed by Adrián Cuevas, Roger Mendoza and Conrad Roseta. One of the weapons of this game is undoubtedly its graphics because they are tremendously beautiful. You can say that we are facing one of the most beautiful games of the past decade. And it is that art has a very important weight so that we know the background of this story.
The name of this video game is not chosen at random, since it is called GRIS because at first we have a completely gray landscape. We are in a desert area and that moves us to a state of inner distress that is precisely what our protagonist lives. The colors will have a direct relationship with the moods and as we move forward in history we see how the color range varies. As we said at the beginning we are in a grayish environment but in the end we will unlock the four colors to have very different landscapes.
Do not expect in any case to have a weapon to go fighting in different scenarios since this game has a very different objective. In the first minutes we will simply have to move forward on the road and hit the occasional jump to circumvent blocks that we are on the road. The mechanics are tremendously simple because what the developers want is for you to enjoy visually and also fully engage in this story of overcoming music.
Everything begins to make sense when we have unlocked the first color and we begin to see a changing scenario. But obviously not everything is to walk in a straight line since we will find in our path some other puzzle although the truth is that it does not have much complication and you can pass them without difficulty. The protagonist also has some skills such as transforming her dress into a block to break parts of the map among other skills that we invite you to discover.
A puzzle game … but not for experts
Although it seems that the road does not reach anywhere, developers have thought of everything. That is why we do not have a goal marked as in other games, we just have to roam the road without clues. But we should not fear, since the game will only take us a few hours but we believe that the reflection we take and the good time is more than justified.
This is an important step for this development study since this is their first game and it has left us all very impressed. The level of detail is tremendously good and the difficulty adjusted so that we do not get frustrated with the puzzles since a state of relaxation and not anger is sought.
The camera gives us a lot of play and we must also find all the collectibles to be able to have 100% of the game completed. This allows us to play GRIS several times to get even more out of the 10 euros it costs in the Mac App Store.
