GRIS for Pc

After an interminable intro and credits sequence that can’t be skipped, I’m left with a character slumped on the ground and only a single instruction to swipe and hold. So, I swipe and hold over and over and over again. I try up, I try down (sideways doesn’t do anything). Occasionally I get her to stand up, but then she slumps down again whenever I try to swipe to the right. I then remember reading app reviews by others having similar issues. So I try again, and I finally get her up, but she only moves to the left. This takes her to some stairs, at which point she’s totally stuck. This is not fun; only frustrating. After nearly giving up and deleting the app, I muster up a little compassion and figure I’ve just hit a bug. So I force quit, restart, and start a new game. This time I ignore the misleading instructions and just hold down my finger on the left side of the screen until she slowly gets up. Then while still holding, I move to the right, and that’s when the game begins. Once I got past the rocky start, I discovered a beautiful, engaging game. She can’t die, only fall. The puzzles are subtle and interesting, but never infuriating. Clearly a lot of work went into the last 98% of this game, but did anyone actually try to play it from the start? A little QA could’ve saved us all a lot of frustration. The intro gets an F, but the rest earns an A.

this app is by far the most gorgeous game I’ve ever had the privilege to experience. The art is beautiful, and the storyline, though very vague, is touching. Watching and being able to endure the pain that this app feels is invigorating. Fortunately, I got the version of the app that doesn’t emit a screeching sound in your ears. The music, on my behalf at least, was beautiful, and pulled heartstrings like never before. “Friend,” (the rock being that helps you in the forest) was by far the cutest thing I had seen. It took me a couple of tries to learn to feed him the apples, as it took me a while to learn how to do much else. Her singing was gorgeous. I couldn’t stop making her sing, just to hear her voice. The colour contrast is beautiful, whether it’s the simple black and white that makes you terrified, or the lustrous red, to the dark purples and blues of the under water landscapes. While I’ll admit some of the running scenes were long, they were gorgeous and well worth my time. As some other reviews will tell you, some people will need a stylus. I, however, had no such problem. this app moves easily and the controls weren’t at all hard to understand. I definitely would recommend this game to anyone who wants a gorgeous game that can be played over and over. Thank You for taking your time to read my review. ~ IPhone 8+ user

[edited] art and music are amazing, but the lack of tutorial and ever present feeling of not knowing if you’re even going the right way or doing the right thing makes this game anxiety-inducing and almost unplayable due to frustration. the level design is my main complaint, though. some sections of the levels are intuitive, but a lot of it isn’t. i've even gone down a pathway thinking i’ll be able to explore the others in the area only to be taken to the next section, and i'm then unable to go back to collect what i need to. also, thank you, that does help! i just wish it hadn't taken a dev response in order to figure out :/

This game is so beautiful and I want to play it so badly!! Unfortunately I’m having the same horrible audio issues as a few other people. Out of absolutely no where and without warning, a horribly LOUD and scary shrieking static noise cuts into the games audio and doesn’t go away until you exit the app. It scares the absolute crap out of you so be careful when using headphones not to put the audio up too loud. I jumped out of my skin on the train when I was first trying to play this!! Also yes, I’m having trouble with the controls too. I know how they want you to operate her but it’s really difficult to figure out during the first 10 minutes of the game. I’m even down into the red area and I’m having issues. I keep having to restart due to the sound cutting out and it’s waaayyy to loud of a glitching sound to ignore and keep playing. I’m dying to get to the puzzles and stuff and the game is so so beautiful so I really hope an update happens ASAP so I can play. I’ve been waiting and had this game preordered!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
