Inside was... interesting. I've played Limbo previously, and I think I do like Limbo more. I also wasn't majorly impressed even if I did think it was solid. Inside feels much akin to Limbo, but it just doesn't really feel like it's as good of a game, unfortunately, since it doesn't really quite have the same essence that Limbo does.

Let me explain what I mean. Simply, Limbo is a story about being stuck in purgatory - even down to the name of the game itself. "Limbo". What is Inside supposed to be? Inside your own mind? After playing The Beginner's Guide I feel reluctant to really poke and prod at someone's artistic vision too much, but I can't pretend like I understand what Inside is supposed to be. I can't pretend to act like Inside resonated with me somehow. I came away from Inside wondering what the hell I just witnessed. I get the gist that it's supposed to be about being controlled, due to the elements of mind-control, and the Huddle at the end being sectioned off in a very deliberate way by the scientists involved.

However, Inside having such an unclear message makes it so it doesn't resonate at all. Limbo had an unclear message, but the game played around its themes enough to let that sink in by the time you get to the end. And I don't even like Limbo that much, but Inside simply doesn't do that. It's more open for interpretation, which some may argue is a good thing. I'm not asking for Indie devs to spoonfeed the meaning of their games at all, quite the contrary actually, but what I am saying is that they need to be a little more clear than what this is. Because I'm not really sure how to feel after playing Inside.

I do think however that Inside is a good game and I did enjoy playing it. I love the artstyle, I love the aesthetic. I actually think the gameplay is better than Limbo and flows a lot better. A lot of times in Limbo, it felt like the gameplay was kind of running in place or involved a lot of backtracking puzzles. Inside is paced really well despite being so short, and it keeps things moving forward without forcing you to look at a walkthrough to wonder what the hell you're doing as much. So I have to give them praise for that.

Maybe it's a little unfair, but I just kinda wanted Inside to make me feel something like Limbo did, even if Limbo didn't resonate with me that much. Inside unfortunately doesn't despite being a good game.

Kafkaesque. The protagonist doesn't have eyes, nose or mouth but the game world feels uncomfortably real. The puzzles are challenging. If I hadn't taken inspiration from walk-through videos it would have taken me 2 hours more to finish the game.

I played this game in two large chunks. The second more enjoyable than the first. Right after playing limbo, I fired this game up. Initially, I thought it harder and graphically more boring than limbo. I was frustrated at the difficulty and gave up about 1/2 of the way through because u wasn’t enjoying myself. After that, I came back some months later and found it to be amazing. The puzzles were not only easier than limbo and more fun, but the graphics were phenomenal, the art style so telling of the deeper meaning of the game. This game is a work of art, it belongs in a museum. It reminds me of some critically acclaimed dystopian novel. The ending floored me, albeit slightly unsatisfying, I loved it. The atmosphere was executed perfectly. 9.5/10 for such a work of art, -0.5 for my initial discomfort.

Cool mysterious story and awesome puzzle mechanics. I know this isn't categorized as a horror game, but there were plenty of tense moments and I even got jumpscared by the white girl with black hair in the water when she was all up in my face. Overall very interesting and the ending was unexpected!

Like how the game starts without any context given and finishes with even less explanations. The visuals, animation, physics and sound design are just gorgeous and have a really good attention to details.
I didn't pick all the collectibles so I don't know if they change anything and help grasping the story better. But even with an obtuse story, with only what the world tells, you can theorize and reach your own conclusions.

good game. scary but a little challenging (although im quite dumb so it could be a personal flaw.) no food in the game, and it’s a pretty moldy game so if there was, it’d be gross. 0 for yummy.

Replayed and completed Inside (2016), one of the best games I have ever played. Peak presentation, graphics, environmental storytelling. It is one of the most captivating and eerie dystopian art form I have ever gone through. It's beautiful, tragic, sad, miserable and yet - like the ugly glob of humans at the end; all meshed into one sentient creature who just wants to live - hopeful.

Hra je neskutečně propracovaná. Fyzika, pohyb a destrukce objektů je velice realistická. Umělá inteligence bytostí je taktéž velice věrohodná, a funguje jako hodinky.
Hra je kratší, ale myslím, že skončila přesně v okamžik, kdy měla. Nepřechází do nudného „Kdy už bude konec!“ a ani nemáš na konci pocit „To bylo jako všechno?“
Pokud objevíš tajemný konec, tak vše dává o něco větší smysl, ale opravdové odpovědi se i tak nedočkáš a mnoho věcí si budeš muset vyvodit sám.
Celkově je hra velice atmosférická, tajemná a svět je tu dystopický a depresivní.
Někdo nebo něco ovládá svět a všechny lidi v něm. Což budeš mít možnost si taktéž vyzkoušet pomocí podivné mentální vysílačky. A nebudeš ovládat jen jednoho chudáka, ale vícero z nich. To otevírá poměrně zajímavé možnosti, zajímavé mechaniky.
Suma sumárum hra přináší několik zajímavých nápadů v opravdu seriózním až dokonalém zpracování. Několik bizardních momentů, kupříkladu ke konci s blobem, který může připomínat Oplodnění in vitro, avšak nakonec především ladnou hratelnost okořeněnou skvělou fyzikou a umělo inteligencí.

Simple game but filled with witty puzzles, a single set of collectibles, and a secret ending rewarding you for finding all collectibles. The game makes you think and makes you wonder. Great experience especially after playing many high intensity action themed games.

The best game I've played in recent years.
The story, vibe, and lighting as always top-notch, the atmosphere is so good too.
It's amazing what they've achieved without a single dialogue or cut-scene.
Improved upon Limbo on every single aspect of the game, puzzles here are way more logical.
It's a 9,5/10, I just wished it was longer.

Gioco molto bello, un puzzle adventure con una grafica low poly splendida, evocativa e affascinante, l'audio (OST ed effetti) molto d'amtosfera e gli enigmi sempre divertenti sebbene mai particolarmente complessi (penso sia quasi impossibile bloccarsi se non per poco più di una manciata di minuti) il che potrebbe scontentare chi cerca un livello di sfida particolarmente alto, ma rende il gioco veramente piacevole da giocare dato che scorre benissimo permettendo di usare il cervello senza mai però provare alcuna frustrazione. L'ambientazione e la "storia narrata" (se di storia narrata si può parlare essendo estremamente criptica, il gioco inoltre è muto e privo di qualunque testo) sono molto intriganti e proprio per questo mi è rimasto un certo rammarico dovuto al fatto che il tutto non venga approfondito o "spiegato" un po' di più: quanto ci si trova a vivere è veramente interessante e non sarebbe stato male avere ancora più lore a disposizione per i più curiosi (molto interessante la possibile lettura che tutto sia una rappresentazione allegorica della malattia: [-SPOILER-] allegoria valida sia nel caso il protagonista rappresenti la malattia e le avverisoni gli anticorpi e le medicine, sia nel caso in cui il protagonista sia la medicina che combatte la malattia, giungendo alla vittoria con successiva espulsione del tumore nel finale standard o all'eutanasia nel finale segreto). Nel complesso assolutamente consigliato, tanto più che la durata esigua e la sua semplicità tecnica permettono di fruirne in maniera semplicissima: può essere giocato anche su pc con schede grafiche integrate e si termina in 4 o 5 ore al massimo.

Inside tells the story of an unnamed young boy, who continuously runs away from strange individuals, often heading into unsafe territory. The narrative is told via puzzles and gameplay sequences, creating situations that require critical thinking and problem solving skills. The runtime is short, at around 3 to 4 hours of gameplay.

Inside offers a dark and dreary experience, filled to the brim with disturbing scenes. The music is very subtle, so it's hard to say if I can recall the soundtrack accurately; however, the art direction is really unique, creating atmospheric and tense scenery throughout. Unfortunately, as a platformer, it doesn't offer a lot of replayability. The controls can also feel a bit off sometimes.

Regardless, Inside is a unique, riveting platformer that offers an eerie, unique experience, with plenty of twists and turns along the way. Give it a go sometime; I enjoyed my time with it.

Final Score: 8/10 (Incredible!)

MUCH better then Limbo, These aren't my kind of thing but it's still wonderfully artistic and atmospheric. Though I wonder if a game that controlled better (This game controls fine, but not really "fun" to control) and story based like this would be like

Like imagine a game that controlled as-well as 2D Mario, with all his design priciples, but a messed up and cool story

Game is visually charming but that's it. Felt so bored that I actually returned it, feat that only 1 other game could achieve. If you like 2d scrollers with good ambiance and great visuals I guess this is good for you, otherwise stay away.

Inside is so cult that I almost feel sorry about being disappointed.

Limbo, IMHO, was a better game, with a perfect balance between lore and gameplay. Inside is too much about lore. It's short so that's fine, but honestly it's a little boring at times.

Inside is a beautiful game with a great ambiance and simple but effective game mechanics.
The visuals are fantastic, the narrative is engrossing (even if it doesn't make a whole lot of sense), and that last hour of the gameplay is truly something else.

If you liked Limbo (also a great game), Inside is somehow even better. It's a bit less difficult than Limbo (a good thing, as I had to look up solutions to a few of Limbo's puzzles) and it has a very different but even more beautiful art style. The real star of the show is the cinematography combined with the sound design. The way each shot is framed is breathtaking, creating an atmosphere that I've never seen in any other game.

All in a tight 4-5 hour package.

Inside is absolutely worth playing. I was tempted to score this game over 9, but I had to hold back because of its very nature as a 4.5 hour game with little replay value. But it's one hell of an experience during its short runtime.

I think the best word for this game is "clever". The puzzles are engaging but not confusing, and the passive storytelling is immaculate. An absolute gem.

Still overhyped like a lot of arthouse indie games. Mid platforming. When an "arthouse" game like this comes out I feel it needs to prove it needed to be a game rather than just a short film or something. this doesn't to me.

Inside é o segundo jogo da empresa playdead, depois de Limbo. O jogo apresenta mecânicas semelhantes ao primeiro jogo, bem simples, porém apresenta estética e história totalmente diferente. A estética de Inside tem muitos mais detalhes que Limbo, mas não foi isso que fez Inside estar nessa posição, Inside apresenta uma história totalmente interpretativa mas consegue passar exatamente o que o personagem está sentindo no momento com detalhes bem únicos. Sua platina é bem fácil se tiver o auxílio de um vídeo.

a MASSIVE improvement over LIMBO and probably the best cinematic platformer (not a massive fan of those in general but still) that i've played at that.

fantastic aesthetics, clever puzzle design, tighter feeling movement. this does better in nearly every facet where their previous effort faltered.

Beautiful game, incredible lighting, it can feel a little bit slow after a while but it is a very rewarding experience nonetheless, the ending leaves you pondering the whole journey.
