Gris

Overview

Gris is a short, visually stunning platformer with light puzzle elements and no combat. It focuses on atmosphere, music, and storytelling rather than difficulty spikes, making it a great choice if you want something calmer than most action titles.

Where you can play it

Gris is available on:

• PC (Steam and other PC stores)
• Nintendo Switch
• PlayStation / Xbox (varies by region)
• Some mobile platforms

It feels especially good on:

• Switch / handheld consoles – play in short bursts or finish in a weekend.
• Steam Deck / handheld PCs – comfy with a controller and headphones.
• PC on a big screen – to really enjoy the art direction.

Why it works on the move

• Short total length – you can realistically complete it over a trip or a couple of evenings.
• Generous checkpointing – easy to pause and resume.
• Low mechanical stress – no twitch combat; fine for tired evenings.

Things to know

• There’s little traditional “challenge” – Gris is about mood and experience.
• If you’re after high replayability or deep systems, this is more of a one-and-done.
• Bring headphones: the soundtrack is a big part of the experience.

Play it on…

• Switch / handheld console – great portable art piece.
• Steam Deck / handheld PC – especially nice with OLED or good headphones.
• PC / console on TV – if you want the full cinematic experience.
