Very pretty, very short. Those are the two things that come to mind when describing Gris. Its basically a Journey clone, but with more of an emphasis on side scrolling puzzle platforming. The story is almost non-existant, although it alludes to themes of death and grief, and a mother/daughter relationship. Graphics and soundtrack are gorgeous, and easily the games strongest suits. But I definitely had that slightly empty feeling of "Oh really, that's it?" as the credits rolled.

Ill go back and clean up the collectables for the Plat, but I doubt Id replay this down the track. Its nice while it lasts though.

Edit: Got the Plat, took about an extra 4 hours. Always a bit annoying when tracking down meaningless collectables takes like twice as long as the main story.
