I wanted to like this game, I really did. But I just can't reccommend it. Actually no, it isn't a game, I refuse to call it as one as it offers incredibly limited interactivity with anything. Its just incredibly boring, each moment playing this experience feels like an eternity and I constantly ask myself "What's the point of this?". The sad part is that it could've been really good, maybe make each colour correspond to a boss where you need to use your head for once in this game, maybe make the dress look different for each colour you get. There are so many missed opportunities here it's astounding. I understand grief and depression and all that and I know what it all feels like and yadda yadda but those themes could be addressed in a much more engaging manner. Personally I reccommend "When the Darkness Comes", it too talks about serious subjects but in a much more engaging manner, it is also free to play on Steam. Gris is boring, it doesn't give me any reason to care about it, to continue playing it. This experience is also incredibly short despite being twice as expensive as a Netflix subscription. Gris just feels like a demo for something far better. I don't think I've ever seen something so full of creativity yet so devoid of it at the same time. I'm sorry Gris, but being pretty to look at isn't all you need to be a good game.
