    A simple one-pass puzzle, but it seems to me that the gaming industry is tired of simple " Limbo-games"

I know there's an alternate ending, as i found out after beating the game and reading about it, but the way youre suppose to get it doesnt feel sensible in the perspective of the game's narrative progression.

    Still, Inside's a properly good 2.5D platformer and it also runs well on PC, thank goodness, knowing how problematic Unity engine can be.    … Expand

    Inside is a complex take on a gothic 2-D platformer. There are several moments during play where I was completely awed and shocked by how innovative and fresh the gameplay felt. Playdead successfully creates a macabre universe for the player to explore, with the horror feeling unsettling at many points inside the game.

    However, at the end of the day, I wasn't really satisfied. I think it comes back to the idea that I play a game to for primarily fun. Sure, I also appreciate a riveting plot and cast of characters, but Inside really didn't have too much of a story to offer. There is no exposition whatsoever, leaving the user to piece together almost random pieces of a zombie infested story. As corny as this may sound, I found Inside to be quite lacking in the fun department. It's a horror game, sure, but it sometimes feels as dry as the inside of the zombie factory itself.

    To conclude, Inside is an interesting game that does many new and innovative things during its rather short gameplay. I'd recommend it to those that are fans of horror games or are really into the indie gaming scene. However, I was overall disappointed after reading such raving reviews online. I found it similar to Valve's Portal in some ways, but just not as good. Portal was funny and refreshing at times. Although I realize that the developers had no intention to put any humor in the game, I felt like it could have used a laugh during this bizarre journey through the dark and the drab.

    Inside shines through innovative gameplay, but I push back against the unanimous critical acclaim. It's not as mechanically sound as a platformer like Super Meat Boy, nor is it as intriguing a puzzle game as Portal. The plot is all the time a bit vague, and the ending is, in my opinion, just weird. I stand by my 7/10, and simply wish to warn players not to buy into the hype.    … Expand

    It’s a pretty good short game, the puzzles are great and the melancholic atmosphere really hits. But in my opinion, it’s kinda overrated. Is it a great game? Yes. Is it a masterpiece? ...nah. I would still recommend this game, I hope you can get more of it than I did, but perhaps I was expecting too much, who knows.

    INSIDE's eerie atmosphere comes from its visual details. The little ways your character interacts with the environment make him feel human and vulnerable, while the scenes in the background give you the impression that there's something ominous going on.

    While I couldn't get into Limbo, this one refines the experience to the point where it is actually playable. Not necessarily enjoyable, but that is in keeping with the theme. Imaginative and captivating for what it is.

    I had a pretty ok time with the puzzles, all of which are environmental, but the story being so arthousey turned me off. You get no closure just questions. The best part of the game is the discussion around it but that, in my mind, does not make a game great so I just think it is ok.

The lore is indeed intriguing, and the atmosphere is quite immersive, but that alone cannot make up for its lack of narrative ; This is very much a case of the author, trying too hard to achieve intellectual appeal through sheer abstraction. That said, this game must be commended for its fantastic visual design as well as its top of the class animations. The visual locations do become repetitive, and a times the walking sequences stretch for a little long. The action and game-play flows very nicely, and the game runs quite smoothly. Inside is a very competent game, an exquisite piece of interactive design, that ultimately fails at telling a compelling story while challenging the player in fun creative ways… Expand

Things seem to get weirder and weirder the more you play it and it seems like the only reason I kept playing this was to see how it was gonna end. I can safely say I was disappointed.

    It did took me by surprise but this final level was boring, annoying and just dragged on and I wanted it to end, so I'm conflicted on the story, it's really smart but just didn't think that the payof was worth it.

    The gameplay was just like limbo but it has more fluid animation...and weaker puzzles, I found these puzzles to be boring and repetitive, I found that sad because I loved limbo's puzzles but they were really underwhelming in inside.

    I'm going to agree to disagree with the public. Unlike the majority, respectfully, I didn't find this game as immersive and compelling as its predecessor, LIMBO. And it's not because of the easy puzzles or the lack of background music (yes, those are obvious problems), but because of the lack of story.

And it's not because of the easy puzzles or the lack of background music (yes, those are obvious problems), but because of the lack of story.

    INSIDE is one of those atmospheric games where the environment tries to tell you the entire story. Unfortunately, even though I figured out what was going on not long into the game, the lengthy travelling was somewhat boring and eventually bothered me enough to want to just get the game done and over with. It felt like the game dragged on and kept throwing room after room at me just to keep me playing.

    In detail, the puzzles are easy and predictable and are nowhere near as hard as some of the ones in LIMBO, and this weighs on your enjoyment as they feel more like a chore. Starting from the very first switch-based puzzle, I knew on the inside that the first switch would never be the right one. And I was right. This pattern stays true throughout the entire game, and makes the puzzles easier than they should be.

    As you progress through the game, the deeper you get, the more bizarre and grotesque the game becomes. I won't say that you will feel disgusted, but you will definitely feel disturbed by some of the things you see, which happen randomly without warning. This alone warrants tagging the game as horror, even if it's borderline. Also, regarding the ending, there actually isn't one. That's right. It just ends. This is sure to anger a lot of players.

    Overall, I'm mixed on INSIDE, and leaning more to the negative side. I certainly wouldn't play it again, and I don't think I could recommend it to others, since it falls under a specific niche. If you have a few hours to burn and enjoy atmospheric indie games, you could give this one a shot. For me though, I think I could've spent the time playing some other game instead.    … Expand

The design of the world was beautiful, and some locations were so breathtaking and mesmerising, through a combination of visuals and sound, that I sat back speechless for a while! Unfortunately, this happened very occasionally, just like properly engaging puzzles. What seemed like a significant majority of the game involved only walking to the right through pleasant, but not special, sceneries, which was at times really boring. The secret areas were way too easy too, especially with the hints in the achievement icons and descriptions (15.9% of players on Steam got all secret areas, compared to 3.5% in LIMBO). I'm both impressed with how well the Danish makers of this game were able to create a unique, eerie gameplay, and disappointed with how unexploited the potential was. It could easily be a 10-hour, heart-gripping adventure, but turned out to be a 4-hour, rather monotonous semi-platformer. I wonder if maybe EPIC lost patience after several years and cut off funding or something like that :/… Expand

    The game is atmospherically very interesting to look at. However the character model of the character and other NPCs is very basic, so they look out of place compared to the background.

    A very enjoyable puzzle platformer, but it never gets very complex, which I liked personally. It was just continuous movement and only one time I got stuck trying to figure something out, and only one puzzle was particularly complex and I realized that it was a drag because it took forever to continue moving forward.

    Overall you don't get much of a story. The game seems to promise some sort of closure as you near the end, but ultimately there is nothing to be learned. Everything about this made me feel like I get more story and plot from a 2D mario game. Don't expect to feel closure and satisfaction. Expect to be frustrated and dissapointed and feel like everything you did was pointless.

    In the end, it was good enough, I want more games that play like this, but this one in particular failed to deliver on story, and was too expensive, I bought it at $7 so I feel like I paid the right price, but at $20, don't bother. You would be overpaying by far.    … Expand

The end that should explain something or be shocking to us after 30 seconds is hilarious and obnoxiously stupid. We even lost our faceless protagonist in the process with whom we actually have to have relationship...
    Ah, it is pointless to tell how terrible this game is. But is not pointless to tell the others to DON"T BUY THIS CRAP. Give your money to some homeless person at least he will have food for a day. As for this garbage, go on youtube and see for yourself.    … Expand

    Visual and atmosphere is very good, but this game fails to deliver. The story is no existent. Limbo had no story either but you could infer some clues from the name and the ending. This is totally an empty shell. Unfortunately the worst part of the game is not the story but disappointing enough the riddles. Unlike Limbo where the actions had a sense and a logical structure "i,e. move thisVisual and atmosphere is very good, but this game fails to deliver. The story is no existent.

Unfortunately the worst part of the game is not the story but disappointing enough the riddles. Unlike Limbo where the actions had a sense and a logical structure "i,e. move this in order to achieve that and then do something else to make the thing work" this game has no logic.. you just move things around without knowing why pressing buttons without really a reason.. climb press the button then press another button climb again and... that is all. This is more a walking simulation with annoying "riddles" to fill up some time.

    Поиграл 15 минут. Очередной совершенно обычный платформер и ничего особенного. Дальше не стал играть, потому что попалась какая-то непонятная яма, дальше которой никак нельзя пройти.

    Second fail in a row from devs of this game looks like tradition

    Story has no beginning and no ending, after 4 hours you know nothing. They say this is is all for your imagination, but real reason: "we just have no plot, sorry"

    Gameplay just poor, graphics are much worse and no plot.

    Rating: MUSTN`T PLAY

    to say that my jaw dropped is a big understatement. it literally **** IMPLODED. a freaking masterpiece and truly deserving of the "modern classic" status it is undeniably going to achieve.

    This is one of the most beautiful games I have ever played. Not very long, it's true, but the experience is indeed very satisfying. I loved the story (or what I could make of it), all the ambience, the puzzles and the general gameplay. I am now looking for more games from this editor. This game should be played!

    Bah c'est dommage, c'était presque euh... distrayant ?... non, n'exagérons rien quand même... plutôt bizarrement intrigant même si on se fatigue à pousser le stick vers la droite pour faire courir Forrest dans la forêt... allez, cours, petit Forrest, cours et saute !

    C'est en 2D et demi simplette et sans beaucoup de couleurs mais avec une jolie petite ambiance en matière d'éclairage...

    C'est en 2D et demi simplette et sans beaucoup de couleurs mais avec une jolie petite ambiance en matière d'éclairage... et d'effets sonores. Puis, là je suis bloqué devant une machine... euh une espèce d'énigme ? c'est trop pour mon avatar Forrest qui ne comprend pas ce qu'il faut faire... je croyais qu'il suffisait de courir et de pousser des caisses pour monter dessus (ça, Forrest, il comprend...) mais non...

    Il faut qu'ils te cassent les couilles, c'est plus fort qu'eux. Ou alors, c'est un sale bug ! en tout cas, voilà un sale indé qui se la joue bien prétentieux (et plein de vide) et qui finira avec ses congénères dans le vide-ordure (poubelle inside !).    … Expand

    it has very dark atmosphere but when you do the puzzle or pass something you can feel the sense of achievement and it is a short game

    An immensely polished, gripping platformer experience. Aesthetically, Inside is pretty much ahead of anything done in the gaming space right now. That said, the actual gameplay (pushing blocks, scripted chase sequences) is somewhat lacking in substance. [Sept 2016]

    I have already tasted Inside six years ago while I was playing Playdead’s previous game – Limbo. It doesn’t taste as good for the second time, even despite a more appealing peel. [09/2016, p.48]

    Emotional, nerve-wracking and technically polished is the game Inside, the spiritual sequel of the Limbo platformer. You will be amazed by its depressive thoughts and horror atmosphere and perhaps slightly disappointed by the relatively short campaign and a few other flaws.
