If you buy this game (and you should) I hope it makes you think as much as I did. It is one of the best games i have played in a long time and while it wasn't very complicated (to play) it haunted me... in a good way.
Look, I don't even know how to properly describe this game without accidentally giving away part of it - which is something i really don't want to do and you should slap anyone who does. I just know that after I got it of STEAM (the other one, lol) I was immediately hooked and had difficulty sleeping because i wanted to keep playing.
The gameplay is simple, only 2 buttons are used on the controller which is perfect for me because if games utilize the full 93 or so buttons that are on today's controllers I will forget how to play if I stop for a few days (and since i am an adult and i have to do stuff, i take a few days off from time-to-time.)
This is the only game that i have taken part in for the past few years that upon completion I have been telling everyone I know (online and in person) to "get this game immediately."
The best part about it isn't just the art and the way the gameplay is flawless: The fact that not a single word of dialogue is spoken throughout the game yet you still understand the story.... is just amazing.
It was made by PlayDead Studios and they are quite famous already for making the game LIMBO, which is also amazing but in my opinion, a bit too difficult.
if you complete Inside in 2 days the way I did, check out LIMBO next
I can't really say too much more because talking about this game potentially spoils it for people that haven't played it yet. It is available on probably all platforms... but since i presume you aren't reading this on your hacked GameBoy, you might most likely be interested in the PC version.
It is a simplistic side-scrolling platformer and I have honestly never played a game in my entire life whose story affected me so much.
For those of you familiar with my postings you will realize i normally post a video of some sort but I simply can't do so with this game because the spoilers are just everywhere in the vids and for the most part, in the online reviews of the game and even descriptions. Just know, if you have $20 to spare, this game is just so polished, it might be the most perfect side-scroller ever made.
It tells a story without having really any music, and no words. To a certain degree it is up to the player (you) to determine what the story actually is. Once you have completed the game you will notice that the internet is inundated with videos, theories, judgements, and an almost completely positive sense of feedback towards the game.
I honestly believe no one can play this game and not like it. I hope you are the next person and perhaps we can talk about it
