The innovative and stunning game arrives next month.
Devolver Digital blew my art-loving mind when it debuted GRIS earlier this year. The game seems interesting enough, starring a protagonist making her way across novel 2D platforms and puzzles, chased by giant beasts and numerous perils. However, it’s the art direction that causes me to go bananas. The hand-illustrated look of the game, combining sketches and posterized planes, subtle gradations and bright contrasts, is stunning; the trailers alone are capable of being paused and screengrabbed for our desktop pleasure.
The experience focuses on the serene and experiential, developer Nomada says, so we’ll see if the story holds up to the art when the game launches on December 13 for Switch and PC/Mac.
