The game launched for Switch and PC in December 2018, before hitting iOS in August 2019 and PlayStation 4 in November. It earned rave reviews at launch, including GameSpot’s own 9/10 review.
Gris is a puzzle platformer that deals with themes of grief, loneliness, and pushing on through dark times. It’s also absolutely gorgeous, thanks to its painterly art style.
The game is currently discounted by 50% on Steam as part of Devolver’s weekend sale, but hurry–the sale ends April 20. It’s also available as part of Xbox Game Pass for PC.
