    I’m sure others will (and already have) find meaning in Inside. There’ll be fascinating, insightful deconstructions and I look forward to reading them. There’s a wealth of praise for the game already. It’s clearly spoken to a lot of people, but it didn’t speak to me – except, perhaps, to berate me for not being smart enough to understand what it’s trying to say.

Countless people spouting how it was most definitely worth a $20 purchase without hesitation. Well, after about 3.5 hours I can say that I am extremely dissatisfied with the entire experience.

    The game is Limbo but with prettier graphics and not as much thinking needed. I think I was stuck on one puzzle for a total of 30 seconds and other than that it was a case of running from one end of the map to the other end of the map.

    The atmosphere is great, the graphics look wonderful, the sound is awesome. The story.... uhhhhhhh.

    I would have liked something more here. Every single bit is up to you to decide on what you want it to be about. In a day and age of some amazing video game stories, from The Last of Us to SOMA, putting a bunch of random stuff on a screen isn't enough anymore.

    And then the ending... if you want to call it that. There was no buildup whatsoever. When it happened I literally said out loud "this better not be the end" and sure enough the credits started to role.

    I see nothing but scores of 10 everywhere I go and for once I can say I just don't understand it. It's nowhere near a bad game whatsoever but the amount of high praise seems insane to me.    … Full Review »

    It is a walking simulator.
    Or demo version of the game, which you can complete in couple hours. I don't know why it is popular nowadays to release any incomplete product and call it a game. But when I pay money for a game, I would like to see at least some plot, especially if one was advertised.    … Full Review »
