I don't like puzzle games and prefer games with good storytelling and atmosphere. The atmosphere in these games is great, so even someone like me can get some entertainment out of them.
The only real issue with this double pack is the order of the games. It shows Inside first, but it should be played second.

Limbo is a game I was aware of, but never bothered to play since I don't like puzzle platformers. The atmosphere was a bit darker than I was expecting (which is great), and the puzzling was a little easier than I expected. The puzzles have some challenge to them, and many of them are physics-based. For me, they never got tedious or too difficult, which was good because I don't like puzzle platformers because most of them resort to tedious and overly-difficult puzzles.
The dark atmosphere comes from the black-and-white aesthetic, sound, death-themes, and weirdness (in a twilight zone sort of way). It's not amazing, but was enough to keep me entertained for the few hours it took me to complete it.
Inside is the better of the two. The puzzles seemed a bit easier, and I felt as though I spent more time walking (and enjoying the scenery) than puzzling. So if you're big into puzzles, you might not like this one as much.
The atmosphere is much better in Inside. Everything is turned up a notch to where you feel like you're in a full-blown twilight zone episode. The death themes are turned down a bit, but much weirder themes take over, which I won't spoil for you. I especially liked how it integrated its gameplay and puzzles into the themes and atmosphere in certain sections.
Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. I doubt I'll ever replay them, but they've earned a permanent place on my shelf.… Expand
