Grayland - Hype Impressions/This Bird Is Gangsta

My overall rating 7/10 A fun and engaging puzzle platformer that tells an intriguing story without any dialogue what so ever. Challenging puzzles along with beautiful graphics make Grayland worth trying out. A noir story of a tiny bird fighting in the colorless world of Grayland. Grayland is a story driven side-scroller game with unique art style. You, as a tiny bird find yourself in the middle of the war between the Human and the Alien forces. The war scorched the earth and made the once peaceful land radioactive.

Grayland is a story driven, side-scrolling adventure game with a cool, shadowy aesthetic reminiscent of titles like Limbo and Feist. The entire world is monochromatic with almost everything presented in black, white, and varying shades of gray. The sole sources of color are glowing hazards and health orbs that are scattered throughout the land. You play as a small, blue-tinged bird, and you find your birdself in the middle of a war between human and unknown, alien forces. This war has scorched the earth and has turned the very soil (and some of the wildlife) radioactive.

As usual, I am gonna be straightforward from the beginning - Grayland is a side-scroller, puzzle and adventure game, and I love it. (Play in airplane mode so you don't have to see ugly ad blocks like this.) The rule is simple: collect blue dots for energy, and avoid black spiky objects or cats or humans. The puzzles are not that complicated, but for someone who is not good at controls like me, they can be quite challenging (but not frustrating).
