Philips make a stunning one, but I don't have £1,500+ to get it!
I just got one of their "budget" 4k ones, which knocks the shit out of my old 10 year old Philips one which was 4 times the price!
had the fortune of reading GRIS preview in the Wireframe magazine. got me quite excited for a game
Very interested in this game. Have to wait until a little later to pick it up, but I'm excited to hear impressions from your fine folks!
Reviews coming in
First review I've seen from Nintendojo.
They praise the artistic direction and soundtrack, criticise the length and lack of challenge. Which is pretty much exactly what I expected.
Released on Steam
3 hours isn't a problem for me. A poor gameplay and no challenge would be. I'll wait for more review.

Just bought and fired up the game.
Absolutely beautiful, and definitely recommend to be played with a good headphone.
I wanna post more screenshot but it's something I feel people need to see for themselves.
(and Switch screenshot quality kinda sucks and doesn't do the game justice)

So... I didn't know the game was a 2D Walking simulator. I'm not saying that's a bad thing but in the 30mins I've been playing all I've done is walk right and experience some gorgeous things. Seriously, the art and music are outstanding. There's a section with red sand storms that blow at you and the music whenever they pick up sounds like Interstellar which is high praise in my eyes... or ears. But like I said, I've seen nothing outside of collect glowy thing and walk right, but I'm assuming this game is about the journey rather than the gameplay so I'm okay with it being light on gameplay to give me a treat to the eyes and ears.
Update:
About 37mins in and got my first ability so the game has a somewhat Metroidvania approach to its design, with what looks like some backtracking to access areas with the new abilities but focuses mostly on a linear approach.

It says in the trailer that it's supposed to be a relaxing and frustration free game. So yes it's kinda like Journey.
Yeah it feels a lot like Journey in its approach to gameplay and 'hints' to push you forward. Plays somewhat differently, as expected, but damn beautiful.
Another update, about an hour in now. Puzzle Platformer elements have been gently introduced, all have been really easy so far though. I'm blown away by the variety of areas and colour palettes - it is a gorgeous game visually and audibly.
If you own any Devolver Digltal-published game on Switch, Gris will discount to $14.44 (in the US... probably a similar discount in Europe).
This game is just an absolutely amazing piece of artwork. Music, sound design, graphics... I'm quite enjoying the gameplay as well, controls are responsive.
I really like that as you progress you

get a world that keeps adding colour palletes. Red, green and so on. Amazing sense of progress through the addition of colours. I love it!
I asked this in the review thread, but I remember seeing this as coming to PS4 at some point. Was that true? I have a Mac so I can still play, but would prefer to do it on my PS4 (even if it's down the line). Just want to support the studio.
This game is priced to move.
The art style is just phenomenal. I really hope gameplay holds up and sales follow.

Yes, it is. The thing is every week there are >20 new games on the eShop. Scroll down a few rows.
This game is a walking "desktop wallpaper." It is so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just got the first power. Can't wait to go home and play some more.
