Aug 10, 2017Quite simply a masterpiece. Every bit as good as Limbo and in some ways better.
Superb graphics, engaging gameplay, fiendish puzzles...
You could argue that the end is slightly weaker than the rest of the game, but I loved it from start to finish.
Roll on the next release from Playdead. -

Sep 10, 2016Absolutely amazing and well polished title from the beginning to the end. So far it is one of the best gaming experiences I've lived this year. This is a real game design and storytelling lesson that should be studied in game or movie schools.
Well played Playdead! -
Nov 18, 2020Most enjoyable game ~ I haven’t had so much fun since Breath of the Wild.
I finished the game in one sitting [circa 3 hours] and I urge you to treat yourself and try this game. -
Aug 31, 2016This is truly a piece of art and one of my favourite games so far this year. Limbo was my first "indie game" back when it came out and this is a more than worthy successor. Inside's dark and creepy atmosphere and the great puzzles don't leave a lot to be asked for. Now I want to play limbo again.

Oct 3, 2018This is the best game of its genre, hands down. It doesn't technically deserve a 10, but since it's at least a 9 and the best of its genre, in a genre that is lately overdone, it must have a bonus. Definitely recommended to anyone liking some atmospheric platformer.
-
Jan 5, 2021An incredibly creepy atmosphere with a compelling and intriguing story. There's so many interesting interpretations of what the game represents and it's fascinating to read.

May 15, 2018Beautiful, haunting, expertly paced are all words to describe Inside. It's one of the darkest yet interesting games I've ever played. It honestly shook me by the end.
-
May 28, 2017Playdead have done an incredible job to surpass their previous game, Limbo. Inside is a true work of art, both disturbing and gripping in equal measure.

Oct 10, 2017This game is creepy horror done right. While there little to no jump scares, The game creepy atmosphere and graphics as well as the music keeps me intense though out the whole game. The game also loves foreshadow which add to the intensity. The controls are very simple and easy to get use too. The narrative is brilliant. Overall a game worth it's 20 dollar price tag.
-
Sep 9, 2016Inside is one of the best games I've played this year, and even has some replay value. 20$ is a perfect price for a game this fun and good looking, with an amazing story. (told through no words) The art in this game is stunning at times, and it's only "flaw", is that if you're looking for a very difficult puzzle game, this is not it. Highly, highly recommend.

Sep 14, 2016THE best game I've played in a long time. Playdead hit the nail on the head once again. Play it to the end, then sit back and try to fathom what its all about. SUCH a good game in all aspects. Bravo Guys!

Aug 23, 2016Like this delicate butterfly lost in vapors and cogs of LIMBO,
INSIDE is a state of grace.
An accomplishment.
Thank you Arnt Jensen, thank you Playdead. -

Sep 22, 2016Another World (Out of this World) meets Stranger Things... Visually a work of art... Top Notch gameplay... Overall a great experience. I personally might have liked a "longer" ending...
-
Aug 23, 2016Genius, thought-provoking, creepy, shocking, exhilarating, unsettling and downright gorgeous, INSIDE is a masterpiece. You owe it to yourself to play this game.

Sep 25, 2016I've been playing computer games since the 80's and Inside ranks very highly against all games from all era's. The style, mechanics, music, gameplay; everything about it is top notch, and the feeling of immersion is something quite special. The storyline and the world it plays out in is so compelling and thought provoking, it is truly a work of art. A genuine contender for best game of all time!
-
Oct 7, 2016the best indie game that i ever played.this game changed mt mind about AAA games.i wonder how a small team created this excellent game.also the story is very good . you cant find an issue in this game.

May 25, 2018People are so easy to manipulate. Mind-blowing ending, beautiful shades and great art-direction at all!
-
Feb 9, 2017for me a masterpiece. This game is art. Its like playing a interactive theatre play. This game produced a kind of a mood like Michael Haneke or Lars von Trier movie on his on way.
-
Jan 24, 2017me encanto Inside juego corto y al grano con una historia que da que pensar a todo el que la finaliza, te deja con la boca abierta el final y las mecanicas del juego son basicas pero muy atractivas, una pasada de juego obra maestra
-
Apr 30, 2017This game is a worthy successor to Limbo (and may I say, a superior one) with its stunning visuals, dark, rich atmosphere, ambient music, smart puzzles, incredible attention to detail, its gripping story told without words, its perfect ending, and last but not least, its realistic animation.
-
Sep 15, 2017Finally an old-school game that perfectly fit for modern players.
THe graphics is minimalistic, also the sounf but they reflect perfectly the dark atmosphere.
It's not a surprise that they tried to do a "demake" for commodore 64, for old players like me this is a gem of a game! -

Mar 30, 2018Awesome indie title again from creators of limbo . 10/10 From me . Waiting for the next game from these creators.
-
Apr 21, 2018A masterpiece in visual storytelling. Haunting and wonderful . just loved this.
-
Nov 14, 2018Inside is a game without voice acting, but the way they show you the story it's just amazing. I had an awesome time, some puzzles are quite easy, some of them took a while to figure out. A super positive game I totally recommend. If I had to mention something about it ... it would be the length.
-
Feb 21, 2019A gaming experience like none I've ever had before. Unique, deep, dark, disturbing, and had me researching lore and theories of the game for hours. I highly recommend this short bizarre journey to anyone who appreciates simple concepts with deep plot and brilliant art design.
-
Jun 5, 2020Playdead уже в который раз создали офигеную игру
-
May 10, 2019Another 10 for Playdead. I always tell people, if you've ever seen the movie "7", this game will remind you of it, because everything that happens is continually more and more shocking until the final mind-bending ending. This game is indescribable. If you haven't played it you are missing out on one of the greatest games of all time. Period.
-
Oct 17, 2020It might be short, it might have no dialogue. But this is truly one experience I'll never forget anytime soon. It's deep, and disturbing, and raises so many questions that are just begging to be answered. If you like LIMBO, you're gonna love INSIDE.
-
Jul 14, 2020I don't know how to comment that. This game is beautiful and has interesting story
-
Jun 16, 2020Truly a strange, misterious and captivating game. Right on the start i loved the art style and ominous enviroment. Fun puzzel levels and a great story told in a very subtle way. One of the best indies i've ever played to this day. Personally Playdead's best work so far. Truly a must-play
-
Jun 19, 2020INSIDE is already a classic puzzle platformer. The story is captivating. the graphics are awesome. The Audio design is great. The puzzles are fun.
-
Aug 13, 2020One of the most intriguing things (be it movies, tv or games) out there.
If you like ambiguous story telling like David Lynch or Andrei Tarkovsky, play this.
Roger Ebert once famously said that games can never be art and this makes me want to dig him up from his grave and bring him back alive just to prove him wrong. -
Jul 19, 2020Good game!!!!!!!! Good game!!!!!!!! Good game!!!!!!!! Good game!!!!!!!! Good game!!!!!!!!
-
Jun 2, 2022Um dos melhores jogos de puzzle que já vi. A ambientação sombria funciona muito bem.
Nesse tipo de jogo é necessário interpretação para entender a história e por isso existem várias teorias sobre ela. -
Jun 23, 2021Very beautiful game ! Highly recommended for every player out there , Very decent gameplay , took me 6hrs to finish , Gr8 Puzzles for your Brain
-
Nov 15, 2020One of best games i have played. Could return to it...just to feel it again. Mood, story, graphics and music. All perfectly combined.

Jun 7, 2021A perfectly paced experienced that is as beautiful as it is thought provoking. There is nothing like it and I would recommend this to everyone. There isn't a better case to be found for games as an art form.
-
Aug 21, 2021So many year waiting to play this masterpiece . I would like to play INSIDE while I am completely Alone and disappointed.
Notwithstanding of most reviews, I got a certain message from playdead studio:
“Hope”
What so creative!
What so deep! -
Aug 22, 2021Отличная игра с необычным и пугающим сюжетом. Порой заставляет задуматься, не так проста в прохождении

Jan 27, 2022Amazing artwork. A very, very beautiful and intriguing game. You may not get what's going on but you will keep on wanting to play it.

Feb 14, 2022Beautiful game with amzing flow, puzzled aren't to hard but just challenging enough and hidden lore that keeps you scratching your head, I loved this game and is definitely replayable.

Jan 8, 2023This is not just a game, it‘s an interactive experience full of amazing film, sound, puzzles, and storytelling.
-
Jun 15, 2023Uns do melhores JG Indie que já joguei, visualmente muito bonito, pega tudo de limbo e melhora, com uma lore incrível e emocionante.
-
Jul 9, 2023It is a 3D arted and 2.5D playable platformer game. All parts have great unique riddles, exciting incredible goosebumping actions and flawless simple gameplay. Do you need another thing for a game? Then should do it yourself. The ending is not took me so much but I don't give a thing.
-
Jan 1, 2017It was too short, but it was pretty great. It makes you think and still leaves you a bit confused. Good pacing, nice puzzles, and a good story despite zero dialogue. Another gem for sure.
-
Nov 12, 2016Worthy follow up to LIMBO. But inside is one of the first films to truly make me feel uncomfortable and more than a little depressed. I love to play it, but only for limited periods of time. Still, it's a huge success, great puzzles, gorgeous visuals, and a haunting sound design.

Feb 27, 2018Great game! The atmosphere, graphics, presentation are out of this world. Gameplay is great as well.
this game makes you want to play it. and you cant put it down till you passed it! One of the best 2D platforms I played! -

Oct 21, 2019Really creative side scrolling indie. Similar to Limbo and Little Nightmares (although this was actually fun compared to LN). Good puzzle difficulty, not too easy but you still have to rack your brains sometimes. Would recommend

Mar 30, 2017Great ambientation, like a indie game but so beautifull. Simple gameplay, but great. Maybe it's not too long for a game, but deserves a good score this one
-
Feb 7, 2019Like Limbo, Inside is another disturbing and puzzling side-scroller from hell. If you're looking for a rewarding albeit short game to haunt your emotions and test your creativity, then this is a golden pick. I played this between Limbo and Little Nightmares, a sandwich of depressing stories that all work well together. If you like either of those games, give this one a shot too.

Jun 16, 2021luego de terminar limbo me an recomendado este juego y no me arrepiendo para nada me a gustado todavia mas, e tardado 9 horas en pasarlo y me parecio un poco mas dificil pero me e quedado picada con el juego totalmente recomendado (yo lo jugue en ps4)
-
Jan 12, 2019This is the game that is going to keep its mysteries from you till the very end and when its all reviled you are still going to be a little confused. One of the best silent stories that i ever played or watched.
-
Jan 26, 2019I used to have a mind, but then I played this game. That's how mind-blowing this game is.
-
Feb 11, 2019A great game with deep physics mechanics, amazing puzzles, haunting atmosphere and dark design.
The game story is more metaphor than actual plot, but it does it in a very smart way.
I liked this one more than Limbo because of its better design and better haunting atmosphere.
The extra challenges of the orbs also offer some nice replay value.
9/10 -
Nov 9, 2019This game is something entirely different. There are not many controls you have as a player but still it's amazing what can be done. Time and time again the developers surprised me. It's hard to explain why this game is so refreshing and satifying without giving any spoilers. So I guess you gotta play it yourself.
-
May 20, 2019It´s difficult to think of a game (other than Limbo) that resembles this short puzzle game. As concise as it is, it achieves greatness. The artwork is simply astonishing and obscure. Don´t discard the possibility of puzzle games before giving this one a shot.
