Gris: A Beautiful Videogame

I've always loved videogames since I was a kid, and now with this pandemic I've had the chance to play a lot of games that I haven't been able to play before this. Today I want to write about Gris, an independent plataform game made by Nomada Studio, a spanish game studio, and was released in december 2018.

The game follows a Young girl who have come to lose the colours in her life, so she begins a journey to get them back. It’s a game full of simbolism, you follow this girl strugglin to find her colours again so it’s really emotional when her journey ends.

The simbolism of this game goes hand in hand with the gorgeous visual style, that it’s really “ilustrated”, by the artist Conrad Roset, that goes really well with the soundtrack compositions made by Berlinist. These to component are really beautifuly made, and makes the game resonate with the player even more.

The only downside, but not really, it’s the play time, it’s a short game that last between 2 to 4 hour, but even it’s short time I wouldn’t say that it feels like needs more that it has, I would even say that get to play this game fully in 2-4 hours make an even larger impact, because there is no need to pause the stoy, you can follow it from start to finish in one sitting, experiencing the emotions in a really fluid way.

So if this game sound like something you could enjoy I really recomend to look at it!
