Amazing visuals, Riveting story, Clever puzzles, Brilliant sound design, Stellar camera work
Inside very clearly builds upon what made Limbo great, and in fact builds something greater. Its unimaginable twist may leave you dumbfounded, confused, and quite possibly speechless, but it will fuel heated discussion with your friends about its meaning...
Unsettling and atmospheric, Short and sweet, with room for replays, Perfectly tuned gameplay and presentation, Challenging but not punishing
Gameplay follows ‘Limbo' formula
As the gaming industry at large pushes towards increasingly sprawling epics and ongoing lifestyle games that demand hundreds of hours, Inside is refreshingly small. It does nothing revolutionary — in broad strokes it's nearly identical to the studio's p...

Abstract: If you hadn't realised that Inside was created by the same people behind Limbo, Playdead won't let you forget it for long. The intro is immediately familiar: a quietly foreboding woodland and a young boy on the run. It's a clear promise that those who app...

Abstract: I spent the first few hours of Inside thinking: sure, this is all fine, but it's hardly the spider, is it? That's the danger of making a follow-up to a game that has such a singular impact, I guess. In my memory, at least, when you're playing Limbo, when...

Dark, deeply affecting atmosphere, Excellently paced puzzles, Will haunt your memories
Gruesome death animations, Short and not so replayable
Inside's nightmarish journey is fascinating and frightening in equal measure. This puzzle platformer is easily consumed, but digesting its disturbing world will be a contemplative challenge...

Abstract: When I first got my hands on INSIDE, I had a lot of mixed expectations. Based on Playdead studio's excellent track record and the amazing and an eerie trailer we got to see back at E3 2015, INSIDE had a lot to live up too. Whether Playdead studio wanted t...
Much of what makes Inside such an engrossing experience is the element of surprise. Not knowing where the story is going or what could happen leaves you anticipating the worst. Even though the game is full of unsettling and spooky moments, it also has its...

Abstract: On one level, Inside kind of bugs me. Its main character is a kid on the run, which means, of course, that the entire narrative is built around the "child in peril" trope. A child being chased and tackled by large men. A child being run down by vicious do...
Inside is dark, deep and deliciously bleak. Its ominous world speaks continually - even if it's never entirely clear what is being said. Its puzzles aren't mindbending, but they're duly affecting - extending the mechanical and thematic nuance nudged at by...

Inside has a masterful use of lighting, colour and sound. It sets one of the most forboding atmospheres you're ever likely to find in a game, and the story is incredibly strong until the last section of the game
Inside finds itself meandering and wasting your time during the middle of the game, particularly a section on a submarine. It also features a few too many unreasonable deaths and some of the puzzles can be a little too shallow. Compounding everything is t
