    The game is a pure masterpiece in terms of both atmospheric design and technical implementation. The final part is jaw-dropping, I was literally shocked at the end. But the game is too short. Only three hours is a crime for such beautifull piece of art. Pleeeease I want more!

    This game is underrated in terms of it's depth as both a standalone game as well as the spiritual successor to LIMBO. My only negative criticism is that there could've been greater difficulty within the "main quest" puzzles, but even then it's hard to penalize this beaut of a game.

    Inside was an experience that stands out among most modern narratives and proves to be incomparable to those similar within the genre.

Players are dropped in the middle of a completely unique world that is very reminiscent of George Orwell's dystopian society in "1984". There is a clear sense of dread emulated throughout the narrative and this is made to be felt quite vividly throughout game-play. Many times throughout navigating the world, paranoia and fear can be felt as threats are so abundant and the world leaves a lingering vulnerability which only leads to enhance the experience.

    While structurally Inside is linear, the puzzles and direction of storytelling make the game compelling. Inside uses its game-play mechanics to enhance and unravel the narrative in a meaningful way that not many other stories have done. A lack of dialogue and sole reliance on the environment empowers the medium in which this story is delivered. This is rare and should be appreciated for its value as an art form and narrative capability. In conclusion, Inside succeeds as an experience in terms of inspiring world and art direction combined together delivering a truly unique and incredible story.    … Expand

    A actual artistic achievement in gaming. Establishes an amazing mood, has gameplay that is engaging AND helps establish the universe of the game. Builds to a GREAT payoff with a twist near the ending. And the third act is like a cross between dark sci-fi and a Beckett play. It's a game where my friends have discussed the ending and debated its meaning for hours. Good stuff.

    It was short but it was awesome. Me and my friends all love LIMBO and when this came out, I bought it day one, we gathered together and completed it in 2-3 hours. Some people would complain about the length, but for me it just was really really good experience and I don't have much time to spend on video games these days, so I like when they don't take too much.

    It's an "experience"-like puzzle game where the puzzles aren't too hard for even casual players to solve and the art is so great that just about any frame in the game could be a painting.

    The Good:
    - as said, excellent art style. I was frequently asking myself "how did they do this?" (i mean, technically) It's Unity game engine, but still, I imagine tons of artists' work must have gone into every scene there.
    - a geat depressing feel of being powerless, hunted down, oppressed. The game shows a soulless industrial world, with mind-controlled bodies of humans, dead pigs and huge empty hangars and warehouses
    - pretty nice sound (there is practically no music here but the sounds are very atmospheric)
    - sirprisingly complex and natural animations of characters - dunno how they did this either
    - tons of innovative, truly original scripted sequences and puzzles which I have never seen anywhere else! This leaves an impression that they simply didn't allow any mediocre design idea into the game.

    The so-so:
    - lack of story! There is a general feeling of a story happening, and a very strange ending. I went online searching for an explanation of the ending, thinking I may have not paid attention during play or was too unsophisticated to decypher it - but instead of a clear explanation I just found multiple "theories" about who mind controls whom etc. Seriously, people, artists use this trick to make you think their work is more deep that it actually is. The devs don't know themselves what they wanted to say, which means there is no story there. Instead, there are vague and contradicting clues, "signs" and mini-narratives inserted at random to make you curious. These theories and discussions they need just to get some buzz around the game. Don't fall for that trick. If the creator has a clear story in mind, he tells it directly and clearly. And if you see a vague piece like this be sure the creator himself has no clue. Anyway, this isn't really a bad thing. Whatever. It feels too "artsy" and a bit too cheap of a trick to me. But they are in their own right here as artists. Maybe i'm just a too "logical" math/sci type for this. Still, i did enjoy the feeling and the overall setting of the game, even if there is no story.
    - a somewhat too linear style of puzzles - frequently I would solve them just by doing the only things possible, only realizing the idea behind the puzzle after solving it. Which still may be ok for casual players who don't like harder games (?)

    The bad:
    - truly, I found none.

    My respect to Denmark has grown after seeing what its game developers can create. Hats off to you guys.    … Expand

    First I decided to give it 8 mark - the game is amazing but far too dark. Now I've changed my mind - this is another example of how modern games should be made today. So here is my points:

    - the game should not be long - 6-20 hours is perfect. No game should be grindy.
    - gameplay - it should be intuitive and clear
    I understand there are different games focusing on different points, but as a platformer Inside meets all criteria above. Ori and the Blind Forest, Super Meat Boy, Bindings of Isaac and now Inside - that how the games should be made today. As if you live there playing, when you can feel all what happens to your character on your skin.
    As of Inside, this game also reminded me of Portal 2 - humongous abandoned factories, I could really feel all this fear and loneliness of that boy.
    To sum it up - 10 of 10, perfect game.    … Expand

    It's a great game, it summarizes the modern human tragedy without a single world, but with strong symbolism. It creates a perfect fearful atmosphere by masterful camera angles, using extreme loneliness, wastelands and huge deep waters and lots of echoes.

    I played this game many times and really loved the heck out of it! In fact, I love Inside a lot better than its spiritual predecessor, Limbo.

    I really can't wait to see what Playdead has in store next, especially when they port this game on the Switch!

    inside is a brilliant puzzle platformer that has a great aesthetic and story despite a single word never being spoken. 14/14 achievements can be had easily in under 6 hours.

    Inside is a beautiful and artistic game set in a dystopian world of mind control.
    The level transition and design is amazing for a game designed in 3D using 2D platformer design in mind.
    The puzzles are not that hard but they are complex and can take you a few minutes to understand the solution.
    Overall a must play game, let's keep supporting indie developers!!!!!

    Playdead Studios were able to be minimalist and designed. The second game, and again a masterpiece (like LIMBO). Atmosphere, exciting and fascinating. The secret ending in my vision proves the theory of computer simulation.

    Lovely
    Smooth, easy to grasp, short and sweet
    Instead of dialogue, you get deafening silence.
    The game gets more intense the deeper you get and then the ending smacks you in the face.
    Should definitely buy if you want an experience no other game gives.

    One of the best indie games of all time. Gameplay is mostly puzzles like its predecessor Limbo. Spiritual successor to Limbo. Game gets more and more insane until the end where it gets extremely insane.

    In just a few hours of playing, you will plunge into the thick gloomy atmosphere of an incomprehensible dystopia. A boy who came from nowhere, but it is clear that he stands out and contradicts the current world order and state of affairs. This is a mini-platformer in which you have to run and escape from hypnosis/slavery... but where to run? ...to do what?

And one big secret, at the end and not so much at the end :) ...As in Limbo - this story does not have an unambiguous and complete ending. But the ending of both of them cannot be called cutted. Everything is done well and efficiently. So this game... this dark picture... is great. Therefore, I highly recommend it.    … Expand

    It's an AWESOME game.

    Pros.: - Looks like Limbo, though, it's not Limbo. And that was a great game. Here the gameplay is similar, yet, different. - Style. Cool to see the simple choice to emphasize the main character with light red. So, if you see any game design elements in red you understand where you should go and what you should do. - Story. There is almost no story and    It's an AWESOME game.

    - Style. Cool to see the simple choice to emphasize the main character with light red. So, if you see any game design elements in red you understand where you should go and what you should do.
    - Story. There is almost no story and explanation what is happening in the game. Why the boy is chased, why is he going right, what is going on with the sound waves, wires, dome, etc. But it is left to the player. You interpret it the way you want. The developers give you a hint with several gameplay elements and devices. But you may find any kinds of explanations you want.
    - Music. Cool ambient sounds and music.

    Cons.:
    - I guess, there could be more hints about the world. Or the yellow cables. But now the game seems perfect.

    It's one of those cases when the game is great and balanced: gameplay, puzzle difficulty, length, performance, music, etc. Recommend to everyone. And it's not a Limbo clone.    … Expand

    Io non sono un grande fan dei giochi side-scrolling ma il modo in cui questo è stato sviluppato mi ha davvero colpito.

    AUDIO E GRAFICA:
    Dal punto di vista sonoro il gioco è abbastanza semplice, con una colonna sonora adatta alle varie situazioni e suoni curati, ma non è il punto chiave del gioco.
    Graficamente invece il gioco è davvero unico, con uno stile in parte stilizzato e in parte realistico. Lo studio delle luci e dei colori è qualcosa di incredibile e, unito al gameplay di cui parlerò, porta a rimanere incollati al gioco al punto di reputarlo breve.

    GAMEPLAY:
    Come ho accennato io non sono un fan dei giochi side-scrolling ma questo ha alcuni elementi che me lo hanno fatto adorare. Innanzitutto non è un platformer, il nostro personaggio si muove solo in orizzontale ma attraverso paesaggi e situazioni reali, inoltre l'ambiente di gioco è profondamente tridimensionale, portandoci ad interagire con lo sfondo.
    Il gioco è composto da un unico lunghissimo livello (con dei checkpoint ovviamente) diviso in ambienti e questo lo porta ad essere quasi open world, se non fosse che dopo alcuni passaggi non si possa tornare indietro.
    Altro elemento che mi ha colpito è che il gioco è piuttosto lento, non è frenetico, e non ci sono molte parti difficili da fare. Bisogna superare situazioni difficili, ma questo si riesce a fare più con il ragionamento che a furia di tentativi falliti.

    STORIA:
    In tutto il gioco non viene detta una parola, è tutto lasciato all'immaginazione e alla deduzione.
    Il gioco parte in situazioni verosimili, con il protagonista ricercato da delle "guardie", ma poi la trama vira sempre di più sull'assurdo.
    Sparse per il gioco ci sono delle bombe che se disinnescate tutte sbloccheranno una sorta di easter egg.

    Per concludere, il gioco è davvero breve, io l'ho finito in due giorni senza dedicarci tanto tempo, ma è davvero unico come stile e come qualità complessiva. Consigliatissimo.

    I even went back to look at my Limbo review and honestly think that most stuff I wrote there apply to Inside as well:

    Pros:
    +Overall, a great physics-based puzzle game
    +Puzzles are just enough challenging to feel satisfying and not insanely hard (or easy)
    +Generous save points
    +Great for quick sessions

    Only if it's your cup of tea:
    +- Short and linear
    +- Like many other game of the genre, it does not get away from plenty (but not only) time-based or reflex-based puzzles
    +- Very simplistic mechanics & controls
    +- No actual story(?)

    Now, in comparison with Limbo, Inside takes the eerie and frightful ambience of Limbo and takes all the notches one level up. The 3D graphics look fantastic.
    The quality of the puzzles is about the same, with some being rather easy, some being very challenging and make you scratch your head for some time, and some just based on reflexes, but the overall experience is fun and challenging just enough without making you want to give up already.

    The "No actual story" point may be a bit wrong for both Limbo and Inside, as both titles do have some sort of a story, but it seems that most of it is intentionally left for the players to theorize.
    In Inside, there are some more clues to an actual explainable "story", you can make some sense of some of the events but all in all it's all still intentionally very ambiguous and not straightforward, which is fine for whoever that's their cup of tea.

    The only thing that was "bad" for me was perhaps that I've played this straight after playing Limbo.
    The two games are VERY similar gameplay-wise, and going to this right after finishing Limbo had also had a bit of a "ugh... there it goes all over again" as the two games are very different on the surface but have a very similar core experience, I believe.

    So, all in all, INSIDE is a truly great game for lovers of physics based puzzled tied with creepy atmosphere, and those who do not care about short, linear, and not very self-explaining experiences.
    If someone ever thinks about playing Limbo & INSIDE one after another, then perhaps it may be best to take a break first, and only go back to the other title after some time, to be able to fully appreciate both games without the (maybe unjustified) feeling that they outstayed their welcome.    … Expand

    Loved this game! Found it a bit disturbing, punishing, and claustrophobic, but maybe that's why it felt so satisfying to succeed. Amazing style and design.

    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.
