INSIDE Reviews
Playdead’s Inside is an exceptional game that Xbox One and PC owners shouldn’t miss out on. You truly have to experience the game to appreciate what it has to offer.
Playdead’s greatest feat in creating Inside was making it look like they never created it in the first place.
Inside delights from start to finish. Don't miss out on what will surely be one of the best games of this generation.
Inside deftly explores darkness without resorting to humor
Although not the breakthrough that was Limboback in 2010, Inside is nonetheless a beautifully-crafted refinement of that experience. The art direction is just as haunting, but in a way that's entirely its own. The amazing musical score can be transporting while at the same time oppressive. And the big finale is open to interpretation in the best way possible. I can't wait to discuss every aspect of this experience with others. I'm still thinking about being inside one of the year's most memorable games.
While it doesn't stray far from the template Limbo set, Inside is a gorgeous, beautifully directed puzzle platformer that you'll want to see through to the end.
Inside is a beautiful, haunting tale of survival and individuality with engaging puzzles and an intriguing world.
Playdead's Inside is a strange, freaky and compelling game. With stunning visuals and a graceful control scheme, it's a perfect, small, indie game.

When it's not sending you into cardiac arrest, it's bending your mind with plot twists and challenging your reflexes and brain power with a series of platforming and puzzling challenges. In the end, lightning strikes twice for Playdead. Six years was worth the wait.
The Danes from Playdead have not fell asleep in the ashes for the last few years and have been working on another title since Limbo's success in sweat. The result of this work is Inside – a dark journey of a little boy into a ruthless world.

Masterpiece. A grim and very moving game that works on the imagination of the audience. If you're looking for more than shooting in games, you definitely can't miss Inside.

INSIDE is a product of absolute quality, which will be able to make you embark on an incredible journey, disturbing and oppressive, in which to be the absolute protagonist is the first-rate visual language used by Playdead to tell a very particular story.

With Inside, Limbo’s creators deliver a disturbing triumph of restraint
Recommending this title is very simple: you have to go right now to download it, as it is an experience that everyone who says they enjoy video games must live. Exquisite level design, game mechanics that work like a Swiss watch, a memorable story and visuals that will take your breath away, are just some of the elements that make this work one that will surely be competing face to face for the title of Game of the Year with some of the super productions that we have seen in this 2016.

Inside is a different game than what we're used to. It is a very contemplative adventure dotted with very well posed puzzles, with a sublime atmosphere and an undisputed halo of mystery. Of course, it is not for all audiences.

Inside is an incredible sophomore swing from Playdead, as the atmosphere, aesthetic and gameplay meld into one glorious experience that demands attention. Don’t read about it, don’t seek more, don’t ask questions — just clear your afternoon schedule and experience it.
It should go without saying that Inside is an easy choice for anybody who enjoyed Limbo. At its most basic, Playdead’s newest presentation is a continuation of its prior work – a macabre puzzle-platformer with a gloomy visual style and forsaking atmosphere. Beyond that, however, Inside is so much more…
While it results in brevity, there isn’t an ounce of fat here. Inside is a game to be devoured in one or two sittings, then, but its impact will be something to savour.
Play it. Question it. Fall in love with it. Tell everyone about it.
If you own an Xbox One, this is definitely a game you need to play within its life cycle. There are no questions about that, and don’t argue. Preferably sooner rather than later, unless you don’t care if you have it spoiled (don’t let it be spoiled, trust me). Whatever your tastes in games are, this should be on your list of games you need to beat before you die.
