I had my eyes on this one for a long time, having enjoyed Limbo way back in the day. Simply never found the time for it but boy am I glad it went on sale on Switch a couple months back and I finally f… Read more
This game was a games with gold title. At only 3.5 hours long my frustration with a few of the puzzles meant I left the game before i completed it, because I'm better than a strategy guide. Coming bac… Read more
Inside is a perfect example of quality over quantity in video games. I beat this game in a mere four hours and then half of that upon a second play through after learning the solutions to all the puzz… Read more
A gorgeous, intriguing game about solving puzzles and running away from things, to put it as simply as I can. There's a very strong attention to detail, and the animations and physics are fantastic. I… Read more
How many times must I see a child die in horrible pain? How many times must I watch my character being murdered, shot, drowned, devoured, dismembered or crushed, only for the camera to awkwardly fade… Read more
The old adage that looks can be deceiving has not rung as true as this in quite some time. At first glance, Playdead’s Inside looks like a very simple follow-up to their debut hit from 2010, Limbo. Bo… Read more
The term "dichotomy" comes to mind when I think about Playdead 's Inside . It is two things at once - it is a beautiful piece of art, one which demands your attention; but, of equal measure, it doesn'… Read more
[Full disclosure: My copy of the game was gifted to me by a friend.] Hello from the other siiiiiiiiiiiide- Oh, sorry. Wrong context. I’m quite happy that I was able to avoid spoilers and coverage of I… Read more
INSIDE combines light platforming with simple but clever environmental puzzles in a similar fashion to LIMBO, Playdead's previous game. Unlike LIMBO, the comparatively detailed art style allows for mo… Read more
This game has a great eerie atmosphere and has a very imaginative/depressing world that may be one of the most original settings I've experienced in a long time; but a lot about this game's world does… Read more
It seems for every bit Inside gets right, something else feels off. Its oft praised art style rings pretty hollow with me, but there are certain "shots" that are beautifully composed, sometimes breath… Read more
In 2010 Playdead hit the xbla scene hard with their first release Limbo. The studio was among the first influx of independent developers that would lead to the tidal wave of indie games that would fol… Read more
In Playdead’s Inside , you’ll spend your short time with it roaming a side-scrolling, dystopian world that’s quite alien to the one that we live in. It’s a world that’s almost entirely devoid of color… Read more
I never was a particularly huge fan of Playdead’s first game, Limbo. I certainly appreciated all the things it was doing, but it never truly resonated with me. It’s monochromatic color pallet, the sim… Read more
I have a soft spot in my heart for horror games. Whenever I spent the night at my friends house as a kid we would pull out the ol’ Playstation 2, a copy of Resident Evil 4 and just go at it until the… Read more
Having just completed Inside, there are so many things I wish I could include in this review, unfortunately exposing what really drew me into this game could diminish the artistic effect it has for an… Read more
INSIDE from Playdead is the follow-up to 2010's LIMBO and the lineage shows. Like its predecessor, INSIDE is a puzzle-platform with a focus on ambiance, mood, and tone with an unconventional narrative… Read more
I’m not very big on video game news, and when I am, I’m not looking at what various indie studios are doing. So I didn’t know about the existence of INSIDE until I saw it for sale on steam yesterday.… Read more
Meticulous and moody, Inside is a perfect realisation of the game it wants to be, whittled down to its core and then dressed up again in some of the best art and style in years. In the vein of Out of… Read more
I feel like I missed out on the cultural impact that Limbo had when it was released. I played the game and enjoyed it, but did so years after it dropped on Xbox Live. By the time I had gone through it… Read more
Inside is a wonderfully crafted experience. It succeeds in teaching you the concepts and game mechanics early on with no dialogue and no on screen prompts. Yet, I was never frustrated or stuck trying… Read more
