INSIDE Reviews
Inside is the closest I have ever felt to experiencing a simulated nightmare. It’s the perfect showcase of the kind of emotion an interactive experience can inspire
This is a game that will still be talked about five years from now—even 10 years from now. Inside was pretty much three hours of me shaking my head, clutching my chest, and realizing every few minutes that my mouth was hanging wide open. It’s an analog science-fiction thriller, and so good that it’s impossible to improve upon. It’ll get right inside you.
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 tour de force of emotion and enjoyment, flawlessly serving up a game that will seduce you into its dark, malevolent world. Games of this caliber are rare indeed.
Inside deftly explores darkness without resorting to humor
The parallel to Limbo feels necessary when talking to people who haven't yet played Inside; after finishing it, it feels wholly unnecessary. Inside stands on its own merits as a superbly captivating and moving experience, one that's bound to be on your mind in the time you spend away from it. Someone once told me that the games you can't stop thinking about when you're not playing them are the truly great ones. I'm inclined to agree. Inside fits that mold even though we've seen others of its ilk before.
Holy crap, I was expecting a great game, but I certainly wasn't expecting something this amazing. Inside is an incredibly and thought provoking experience from start to finish and a game that I won't soon forget.
Inside is as beautiful as it is bleak. A truly fantastic experience that deserves its place among the very best games of the generation.
Inside is a brilliantly crafted game that will keep you talking about it long after you’ve finished playing. Its moody, atmospheric world and terrific puzzle-platforming are simply the hooks to first draw you in.
Inside is a game that simply has to be experienced. Its mystery filled dystopian world is brought to life expertly through tight, thoughtful design, masterful art direction and sublime sound design. Inside isn’t like many other games, because not many others can do so perfectly what it does regularly.
There's no sophomore slump here. Playdead delivers an excellent followup to Limbo with INSIDE, a puzzle platformer that turns up its predecessor’s concepts to 11 thanks to well-designed mechanics and a compelling setting that elegantly drifts between light and shadow. Add an engaging “show, don’t tell” story that is seamlessly integrated into the gameplay and you’ve got one of the best titles of the year.
Inside is a perfect videogame. Is impeccable in terms of narration, gameplay, game desing and style. Is a thrilling and painful adventure, an unforgettable experience you cannot miss.

An easy Game of the Year contender, Inside is an example of game design executed near perfectly.
Dive into a dark and dangerous world full of death, despair, oppression, and yet still a little bit of hope. Guide a lost young boy through puzzles and gorgeous environments as he searches for safety and purpose. The game provides a deeply meaningful story and is complimented by philosophical lessons up for perspective and interpretation by all players.
بی شک "اینساید" یکی از بهترین بازی های عرضه شده در نسل هشتم است. تک تک مراحل بازی و چینش مراحل معنا خاصی را دنبال می کند و اوج هنر سازندگان در این است که داستان بازی کاملا از طریق محیط و اتمسفر منتقل شده و تمامی معماها و چالش های محیطی نیز بخشی از بدنه داستان و فلسفه بازی محسوب می شوند. برای دارندگان PC و Xbox One تجربه اینساید می تواند مهمترین گزینه ممکن در فصل تابستان باشد.

There are secrets to be found throughout the journey in order to unlock an alternate ending, so don't be afraid to fight the constant urge to move right toward the end. Sometimes, it's wise to try going left. Every so often you come across a game worthy of adding to the endless argument, “Are video games art?” INSIDE is one such game.
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.

There are some games that when you finish them, you think about them for a long time. Inside falls into the same category.

There are very few games that will provoke as much thought after you walk away from the adventure. I genuinely found myself asking “What did I just experience?” as the credits rolled. Graphically the game is gorgeous and the controls snappy and intuitive. Inside is a triumph of both storytelling and game design, what it sets out to achieve as a video game it most certainly achieves. My only criticism would be that after completing the game there is no real reason to go back (unless you didn’t get all the Achievements/Trophies) and this is only a negative because I enjoyed the game so much.
