    i really wanted to enjoy this game but the tedious and boring puzzles that sometimes don't even function properly removed my will to finish this game.The story was alright and the game looked really good but the puzzles and bad optimization just made me look for another game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Buckle in folks. I have some ranting to do about why this game is just another basic indie horror game. The plot starts out VERY typical indie horror: woman getting tortured followed by woman and her husband (the protagonist), new house, basic bickering that indicates they're gonna hate each other. The plot progressed and I had hope for the game. Then it became YET ANOTHER indie horror game. Instead of having a good plot, it basically just says "The protagonist is mentally ill!! With Dissassociative Identity Disorder! He's SCARY and obviously one of his personalities is a MURDERER!!!"
    Stop stigmatizing mental illness. Don't support this game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gameplay is fine. Graphics are fine. Animation can be spotty, specially between characters interactions. The story is it's downfall: Trite, pathetic, uninspired trash that is obvious from the start. The dual personality, "I'm the true monster" **** has been done to death. It's not worth your time, money or effort.… Expand

    As a horror fan, this is one of the **** games ever made. Disgusted in every moment. Boring puzzles, stupid gameplay.

    It is basically first-person Tomb Raider with jump scares; a lot, a lot of jump scares, they are not even funny nor scary.

    The Good: premise, art

    The OK: story

    The Very Bad: gameplay

    One can clearly see the ambition in The Beast Inside, but the developer's lack of experience means it doesn't actually reach those heights.

    How impressive is this grueling horror experience? I guessed the ending mere minutes into the demo earlier this year, and yet when it came time to play the full game, I still found myself getting caught up in the twists and turns. That’s right — even knowing the ending before going in, the journey was so powerful that I’m glad to have taken it, and would recommend that any fan of first-person horror do the same.

    In ‘horror’ category The Beast Inside is my biggest and most pleasant surprise of this year. Almost all of its cogs are in the right places and the occasional grain of sand doesn’t interrupt the the game’s steady rhythm. [13/2019, p.56]
