INSIDE

Wow that game blew my mind and heck its a unique puzzle game but with deeper meaning and the ending, don't even get me started on THAT ending like its probably the most WTF ending i have ever seen and i'm pretty sure that i'm never gonna experienced a game like this.
10/10 its a good indie horror game with a linear taste to puzzle and platforming
(And yes i know it was mostly inspired by Little Nightmares so this game its mostly an inspiration to linear games and not mostly puzzle or platforming)

Very glad I decided to play this game even long after it's release. One of the best indie games I've ever played. Game so good it made me give my first ever written review on steam lol.

Cute little game with awesome aesthetics and inmersive music. The end of the game was perfect. I recommend it.

The atmosphere of this game is unreal. You just cannot stop playing, even if the games becomes brutal at a time.
Without spoiling anything, you need to play this thing... it will blow your mind, in every comprehensible way... and not one word was spoken.

beautiful graphics, incredible story is still interesting every time i play

Its really immersive for being such a short game. Totally worth playing through for a few hours. There is something satisfying about figuring out the puzzles to each area and exploring the secret rooms.

An amazing experience - far too short yet hours long. Taking place mostly at night (and Inside) the 3D visuals are black and grey with the kid's red sweater highlighting the beautifully dark scene. Without a word spoken throughout, you surmise some sinister plot is scooping up the locals and your goal is to run across the screen away from G-men and their dogs and war machines.
The gameplay is supertight, accurate, and simple. And yet so many actions are perfectly animated out. USE HEADPHONES to fully enjoy this amazing work of art, the sound effects and theatrical deep ominous tones are as important as the meticulous wide panned shots. Underwater scenes are particularly "breathtaking" both while swimming/freediving and in a deep submersible (and I mean deep, as you explore flooded architecture while a biocreation merman tries to crush-depth your viewport.)
The final chapters are insane and make the plot resolution joyous.

A perfect little game addictive to play and perfectly priced.

Do you like holding the 'move right' input? if so, you will LOVE this game! if you like games that are not mostly walking through a bland, colourless environment, then go elsewhere. the majority of your play through will be spent walking right at a very slow pace, so you have time to appreciate the bland, uninteresting, monotone world around you.

I bought this game on sale. didnt know anything about it, just read the reviews. was well worth every dollar and more. great game from beginning till end. two buttons, joystick, side-scroll, timing, puzzles, ambiance, moody, with a dark atmosphere that borders on David Cronenberg meets toy story. The small team behind this did an amazing job! do yourself a solid this weekend and play this.

A short yet fun experience with fun puzzles, nice music, great artstyle and a visually expressed story.
Its an awesome game, just buy it and play it yourself

Everything about this game is amazing.
I just wish like many others that we could get some concrete infos about the player's character and the challenges he goes through and about what the secret ending actually means.

If you have played Limbo, you know what to expect. If not, playing Limbo is not required. Very much like Limbo: accessible gameplay, stylished visuals, minimal controls, clever puzzles, atmospheric game world and very cryptic story taking place in a dystopic scifi world rather than fantasy dream-like world. The only issue is that there is only Windows version of the game.

a really trippy game, and i love the sound design of the game. but for some reason i cant launch it on my macbook anymore when i completed the game on my macbook previously

INSIDE is a digital art masterpiece with a powerful message, that as the years go by, gets more and more clear and relevant to everyone.

I loved the art style, the story is really well put together, It captures that eerie-ness. Its haunting but keeps you guessing what the next stages await you. Also loved the roll back mechanics helped a lot to finish all my achievements.

Beautiful art and gameplay.
Misterious story.
Weird ending.

(Reviewed on January 23rd 2017)

A dialogue-less game that has more power in depicting a dystopic world through mechanics and environmental storytelling than any other. The game is ultimately a tale about human nature, both the bad and the good, rendered through aspects of mind control, population control, and body control. It's been a year of melancholic stories in games, and you should definitely not miss out on this.

I like this game visual & the gameplay and this game made me anxious, perplexed, distressed, concerned, uneasy, uptight, perturbed, apprehensive, bothered, troubled, uneasy, and fearful.

I went into this game thinking that it was a sequel to LIMBO, but it's not. At all.

Sure, the weird brain worms from the other game are still around. The main character is still a young boy in an unfriendly world. The atmosphere is just as tangible and the environments make you feel just as small.

Unlike LIMBO, once you enter INSIDE, there is no hope. No sister to reunite with at the end of the road. No happy ending that makes your heart swell. As soon as you hit "play," it's all downhill from there. Quite literally, in fact. I've fallen down like 20 hillsides during my entire playthrough.

Another difference is that our main character...feels like a main character. It's pretty clear that he's not like the mindless gray humanoids we meet during this journey. He can operate the mind control devices scattered throughout the game, which suggests he's not as clueless as he looks. Chicks like him a lot for some reason. I'm talking about literal chickens. He even has a red shirt, a color that screams "main character" in every universe but Star Trek (though our MC might as well be in Star Trek because of how badly his life sucks). And yet, by the end, you have no idea why the game made him out to be so important in the first place.

Looking back at LIMBO, I think it's comparable to another great game, Rain World, in that the environment we find ourselves in doesn't treat us like a main character. In turn, whatever the grand overarching story is has no effect on our personal goals (in the case of LIMBO, to survive and find our sister). We can dive deeper into the story if we want, but at the end of the game, our goal is complete. INSIDE never gives you that satisfaction and forces you to question what's really going on. This all makes sense for a game set in a dark dystopian world, but it's a big departure from the previous game. If you're familiar with LIMBO, you probably won't be expecting it.

I still greatly enjoyed INSIDE, though. It's stunning, strange, and liminal. It's got moments of beauty and moments of pure madness. There's just enough story to draw you in and enough left unexplained that it leaves you wanting more--but not too much more, or the darkness inside this grim world might swallow you whole. In my eyes, that makes it the perfect game, even if it really is a standalone experience rather than a sequel to its unforgettable predecessor.

Animations, Sounds, Physics, Music, Ambience, Story, Puzzles. All excellent.

Gave me big little nightmares vibe when i first came across it. (reason i bought it) and i was not disappointed with its incredible use of eerie, atmosphere and fun puzzles while telling its own unique story. Ending left me in silence (but a good one). Truly a lot of care and thought went into this fantastic game and it deserves to be played at least once :)

The game itself is good, but wtf is this game only for windows now, I remember it's available for both platforms.
Fucking scam man.

Limbo and Inside are fantastic works of art i hope Playdead will continue working on making games like these ones in the future because it's been a while now i can't wait for the next release if it will ever happen i highly suggest buying these games.

A beautifully haunting tale of survival. Perfectly paced, and never outstays its welcome. A worthy successor to Limbo. It should be on everyone's bucket list. 10/10

This is single handedly one of the best side scrolling indie games I've ever played. Which fucking sucks it's all of a sudden not compatible with Mac when I literally just picked this game back up for a second run through and as I went back to continue, it says windows only. Really sucks... but an absolute amazing game to say the least.

Phantastic game, awesome atmosphere, graphics, audio, and game mechanics. Highly recommended.

Movement is smooth and the story is great, but the puzzles get quite boring after a while.

Beautiful game, and I'm not even a fan of the genre.
If you're looking for an intriguing game with an absurd amount of attention to detail, Inside (and Limbo) are for you.
Also, an easy 100% which is always a good thing.

Just finished it, can confirm everything I said: play it if you can!

Sem sombras de dúvidas meu Indie Game favorito de todos os tempos,
O nível de detalhes desse jogo não tá escrito no Gibi, todas as coisas perfeitamente bem detalhadas que fazem esse universo ser mais profundo, complexo e interessante, tudo ultra bem feito e viciante de ser ver. O gráfico simples mas insano, animações super fluidas e dinâmicas, cenários marcantes e até mesmo aterrorizantes para quem tem certas fobias, mas tudo perfeitamente fazendo sentido com o universo e até mesmo história. O game deixa aberto para interpretações e suas próprias conclusões, vale a pena jogar e ver tudo do game com sua boa Platina.

"Another World", updated for the 21st century! This is a beautiful game, and while I occasionally get stuck, the solutions to *most* of the puzzles are not too difficult to determine. This game is dripping atmosphere, mood, vibes...whatever you want to call it, it's easy to forget you're playing a game. It's that immersive.

Turn off your lights, close your blinds, or better yet: play at night. Step into a mysterious world, and stay alive as you explore a dark (both literally and metaphorically) world with a young man who is trying to escape from a place where everyone wants him dead.

Fantastic dark puzzle platformer! Reminds me of Limbo with Portal 2-esque facility exploration. I loved the style, music, puzzles, everything! That's a well made game, perfect for a longer evening or two.
I even recognized some Portal reference. :)

That's unforgettable

A short but great story with immersive visuals set in a dark and eerie environment. There are no dialogues and the entire story is told visually - definitely worth playing.
Make sure you don't miss the secret ending ;]

The way I see it, INSIDE is one of the best games ever made, and one of the only truly perfect games.

I could point to a hundred little details that prove its quality — the clay-like texture that grounds and unifies the whole experience, the believability of the air and water and dust and mist, the masterful placement of lighting in every scene, the bizarre and genius puzzle design, the breathtaking surprises and tailored revelations, the unmatched sound design and subtly influential music, the complete omission of UI and language to achieve transcendent storytelling — but I'll always come back to the simple truth that no other game makes me feel the things INSIDE makes me feel during every moment of play.

Cool Limbo game successor: classic move-and-act gameplay without brain-cracking puzzles; joyful physics and sound design that immerse you deeply into the game.

Definitely deserves a little of your time.

INSIDE is a masterpiece of atmosphere and pacing. The game’s dark, minimalist world pulls you in immediately, and every moment feels carefully crafted. The puzzles are incredibly well-designed, striking that perfect balance between challenging and intuitive—never frustrating, just satisfying when you solve them.

What really shines is the atmosphere: it’s haunting, mysterious, and eerily beautiful, with an art style and soundscape that make every step feel intense. I loved the way the story unfolds, hinting at a deeper narrative without over-explaining, which keeps you curious from beginning to end. INSIDE isn’t a game you just play; it’s one you experience. Highly recommend!

Impressed with the story telling and game design. I also enjoyed the learning curve of the puzzles. What wasn't super great imo was the ending which didn't have the satisfaction in the form vengeance that I wanted to see.

Grade: B

Incredible game! I played it like being in a horror/action/fantastic movie of 4 hours with no stop. There is always something new that renew the interest of the game: dogs, puppets, head device, siren, shockwaves, blob... The direction is incredible, the backgrounds are so beautiful, the gameplay is immersive. So many qualities for this game!!!

Man I tried the demo and loved it and bought it right away it's not a complex game. But it have great atmosphere the animation are good man the art design is simple and so well made general I hate puzzle games but this game puzzle are simple and complex depends on situations ingame but it nailed puzzle difcalty i complted it 3 hr short but memorable. For some 2d gameplay will turn off but at least try free demo

No words said for a great story line...
This game in its simplicity of a side scrolling controller, when your too tired to pay attention, but want to play and enjoy a story mode. As you progress in the game you are faced with a series of puzzle and enemy challenges that keep you on the edge of you seat while you are running from the world that is created as hostile around you. The animations of this are still incredible in my opinion with the visual and audio is immersive to want you to keep playing the game and when you finally beat it you are craving for more. The play through for this game is about 2-4 hrs depending if you are doing a run through or enjoying your time in the nooks and crannies to find and see everything in the world the devs have created for you. This game is worth at a sale price. SOLELY on the reason for how long the game is and takes to beat it. I can not justify spending 20.00 on something that is not more than a dollar of play time to beat or keep playing repeatedly.

fun but weird - very atmospheric -- entirely atmospheric storytelling: the game doesn't tell you a bloody thing, you have to find what it means yourself, even if the answers don't seem obvious - in the end, is there really a right answer?

Pros:
- Atmosphere is great
- Controls are snappy and intuitive
- No bugs
- Puzzles are well designed. They are all solvable by straightforward logic and interactions with the environment. This game doesn't have a single convoluted puzzle where the solution only makes sense in the authors head. Difficulty of the puzzles is easy to medium.

Cons:
- It took me 3.6 hours to reach the (non-secret) ending. If I had paid 20€ for it I would feel cheated, but getting it on sale is totally worth it
- The story is quite nebulous and the ending doesn't fully explain what just happened

Neutral:
- (Almost?) no music, sound design overall is great though

Creative, creepy and a fun playthrough.
Loved the music and art design.
100% in 4.4 hours making it not a hard game to complete and the game is on sale a lot so id recommend.

This is a good puzzle game with a slight creepy factor. I wont say its a horror game unless you are easily frighten. The hidden rooms are easy to miss if you get too focused on the puzzle and escaping. I am on my second play through to find the hidden rooms I missed, they feel so obvious now that I know what to expect. Some puzzles may seem difficult, but trust me the answer is very simple XD it's definitely not worth looking up a guide.

It is a great indie horror game, some of the scenes scared me more than some AAA horror titles could pull off.

Buy this on sales so its more better deal,Visuals are much better then the LIMBO great story,music is slightly annoying but good, best experience in earphone or headphone ,on speaker you can't here the full game sound,achievements are slightly tough,overall game is good. but not as this cost so buy this on sales.so it would be better

This game's atmosphere is one that I can't really get out of my head, It's truly breathtaking in a way that inspires a terrible sense of dread. The game itself keeps questions flowing constantly as to what is going on. The world of inside is truly one of the most magnificent examples of video games being used as an artistic medium.
92/100

This game really amused me; it was incredible.
In the last part, I had my mouth open for like five minutes, it was amazing.
Very well done, simple and captivating. Congrats to the devs!

This is one of the best art direction in a game, full stop. Perfect puzzle design, that is challenging and creative but not frustrating. Beautiful back drops, incredibly detailed environmental storytelling has you trying to understand the world the whole time. There are very few games that stick with me long after completing them, this one goes up there with Journey as not just a game but an experience. Also, if you couldn't tell already, a must play.

Inside is a short but unforgettable experience that draws you into a haunting, dystopian world with chilling, atmospheric visuals and ambient sound design. You play as a boy exploring ominous landscapes, navigating puzzles that challenge without overwhelming. The story unfolds wordlessly, relying on visual cues and subtle details that grip you from start to finish. With its immersive storytelling and flawless design, Inside is a must-play for anyone who enjoys games that linger in the mind long after they're done.
