GRIS

I would totally recommend this game. It is a perfect combination of a puzzle and skill game with gorgeous animations.

I would love to play. I tried through Steam and the App store, but it keeps getting stuck at the beginning of the red area. I have to force quit the game. No matter how many times I try.

Please give me a refund.

Ok, I like to play games on the computer. I especially like puzzle games, do NOT like first person shooter games (which this isn't) for the following reason: I do not have good dexterity and it's difficult to do tricky maneuvers with my hands/keyboard. I just don't have the coordination. I played GRIS halfway enjoying the game, figuring out how to progress until it got to a point where I knew what to do to solve the puzzle, but I just could not do it. My hands are...pyucked!! (a word I made up to describe something that doesn't work right). So I cannot progress in GRIS. I'm halfway through the game and can't go any further. Therefore it's only worth half of what I paid! I want $5 back!!!!!!

A. This game is gorgeous. It's cinematic, its epic, its dramatic. It is many things. It is all art. B. THe complaints about this game are largely unjustified whining from people who can't even figure out how to use a keyboard (or don't even have one!). Honestly, how hard is it people to figure out that A dnd D are left and right and W is up and S is down. It's they same configuration as most MacBook cursor keypads (inverted-T). BEYOND that, SPACE-BAR is JUMP or double-jump after the first 50 seconds of the game WHEN those keys have become relevant—and they aen't always relevant as it depends on the envionment you are in at the moment, you can remap those keys as they become useful. When on land fo example, you can jump, not go "up" when in water the opposite is true, you can go up but you can't "jump". These should be like OBVIOUS things one would think that you would figure out within the first minute or less of each change of situation that demands a change of application of contols. Many games do this kind of thing.. Contextual remapping or context-sensitive contols. This isn't so unusual. C. OK, now I really have to go off here on some other l'user's reviews giving this game one star for turmped up reasons. I shouldn't even have to say this because its so incredibly obvious as to be completely stupider than a stump to not notice it, but here we go. The undocumnted "secret" to remap the contols to other keys on your keyboard uses the following undocumented(?) proceedure... Once the game is running, press the ESCape key on the upper left corner of you Mac's keyboad to exit the game in play and then use the cursor to point at the menu item left, up, or right to choose whichever menu item says "settings", then the even more super-secret submenu navigation reveals itself for "keyboard" as one of the options you can point to and click enter on. And that's it. Boy, that was sure a complicated and twisted affair getting that taken care of! Now please, somone tell me now, was that honestly so cumbersome to figure that out that you downrated the developer's product because you were too lazy to press each get to investigate which keys do what without having been provided directions in advnace in writing? Oh.. wait, it does tell you in advance, in writing... both from the point of view that you can look at the keyboard settings before you even start. your new game for the first time from the menu and see what key currently is set for what action, and futhermore this game is so sinister and its author in their intention to make you very life miserable that it actually tells you when a new key contol is intouced exactly which key it is and how mnay times to press or hold it for what you are about to do for the very first time... Geez. Talk about lazy reviewes who dont know what they are talking about and really give dishonest negative reviews. And "not having the hardware to play the game" and saying you Mac only has a Wacom Tablet, a mouse, and anything but.a keyboad... how ridiculous is that to negatively rate the developers game just becauses your Mac nolonger has the keyboard that came with it (likely)... How do you even use a Mac without a keyboard? Visual keys? It's amazing how a user would tolerate the complexity and cumbersomness of not havin a keyboard (when thy well afforded a Wacom tablet but they are deeply offended to have paid $10 for a gmae that expects the system has all the default hardware it was meant to have when it was first purchased from Apple. We can't afford a replacement keybaord but we can definitey spend time critiicisng unfairly a develioper's masterpiece of a game instead of getting off our lazyness and replacing the missing keyboard. Then again visual keys type onscreen keyboard is not an easy or fast thing to use so it amazes you will put up with that junkware to enter text rather than replacing the keybaord, but you abolulutely can not stand the fact that the game doesn't play on your machine beause it's missing a keyboad. I'd say that's projecting or blame shifting on the part of the reviewer. Sad thing is, it takes about as much time to write a junky reivew blaming the eveloper's softwaer because it can't work without your missing hardware than it takes to just go to the store an get a new USB keyboad. And chances are that you really need the keyboad fo a variety of things that are made way too slow and impractical by trying to use onscreen keybaords which should make it a no-bainier to replace that keyboard that doens't work or you got id of instead of blaming over people for not antiipating and dealing with to your satisfaction with your uniquely strange and too lazy or too cheap to be resolved strange lack of a keyboard... Well if you can't afford to replace your missing keyboad then I'd be hard pressed to understand why you would be spending $9.99 potentially of the rent money on games for you computer. Iinstead if you're that poor that not being able to play the game actually feels like a tragic waste of money to you. Most people don't get so upset about just $10 particulaly when its clealy their setup / stolen keyboard / whatever it is about their inadequate sestup that is really to blame and not the developer's fault that you have such an unusual issue to deal with when a keybaord is expecte standard equipment that by default comes with every machine sold that calls itself a Mac. So comon is a woking keyboard being paired wih a computer that most vommerical game boxes fo games or other software that uses keyboard ontrols or typing doesn't bother to list a keyboard a pat of the software's hardware requirements because it's just a given a computer has a real, working keyboard or it coulndn't be used as a computer and hence nobody would be buying computer softwae actually for such a depived machine because that's an unusual and special problem few Macs have. Don't blame great softwae for your bad or MIA hardware!

Between the music, the artistry and the back story (silently told) this game will actually bring a tear to your eye. I am glad I spent the money on this. I actually deal with depression and this shed so much light on how I am thinking. I had some issues here and there through out the game and was easily frustrated but it was so worth it in the end! JUST TRUELY INCREADIBLE!

Great game!

Beautiful artwork and music! Love how there are no timers or lives. You can play at your own pace and enjoy the beautiful graphics and enchanting music. Lots of hidden challenges.

It's a beautiful disappointment. I really wanted to love this game, but here's an idea.... add some directions/instructions to your game. ANYWHERE! the developler site is worthless and without gaming hardware, this is fun for about 1 minute.

I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing this. I was so enchanted by the images. But I can't play it on my iMac (although it is "compatible"), as I don't have the hardware to play it. I have a trackpad, mouse, and wacom tablet. So very sad. And there is no way to reach the developers, which feels like a ripoff. I can't afford to waste my money, and I just did. I'm very unhappy.
