InnerSpace Reviews
InnerSpace features a unique game world with some nice moments of quaint exploration and set pieces, but on the whole it's a bit too cramped and pricey to truly soar.
It's an audiovisual masterpiece, but a flawed one.
Inner Space is not the perfect zen-game that it could have been. Despite moments of brilliance and an overall lovely aesthetic, there are mechanics which seem to be at odds with each other and thus the game seems conflicted.
If you want to leave behind all the games with tons of mechanics and experience something a bit more subtle and different, this is the game for you

InnerSpace is definitely a game that earns plenty of kudos for the sheer effort and creativity put into it.
InnerSpace is beautiful... and that's all there is to say about it, because, as much as exploration games go, there are far better alternatives out there - with none of them feeling as disorienting as this one.
Should you want a relaxing game of exploration and discovery, where each crevice and cavern hides a secret to be found, InnerSpace is for you. A marvel of perfectly blended themes, music, and gameplay—standing out for the attention to detail put in. I look forward to seeing what else PolyKnight Games is capable of.
Overall this is an incredible game and a must play experience. The feel of the game is pervasive and stays with you while you aren't playing it as only the best games do.
While InnerSpace struggles a bit on the technical side of things, the core game is a wonderful flight though worn out but still beautiful sci-fi landscapes.
More than just another artsy indie game, InnerSpace nearly earns a place among the greats were it not for niggling issues with the controls
If you can make it through InnerSpace's frustrating and tedious lows, there is some degree of fun to be had. However, this game fails to hold a candle to many of the games it tries to emulate. If good, arcadey flying mechanics are all you need in a game, then this might be for you. There is little else on offer to set itself apart from the rest of the pack.
The overall disorienting look made it tough to get my bearings, which naturally hurts the game's fun factor.
Innerspace is certainly not a game for everyone: the lack of a map or anything of the sort makes it easy to get lost in the game, not knowing where to go or what to do. Some people might find that fascinating, while the majority of players will probably utterly despise it. Homewever, for those who dare, Innerspace has one of the most beautiful worlds we've ever seen to explore.

Can indie games lose their novelty feel? InnerSpace shows they can. It's a good, but certainly not original game.

Innerspace has all of the things I like in a game. It has an evocative plot, some well-executed flying and diving mechanics, and some tricky puzzles that genuinely require paying attention to the game world around you. All of this is, sadly, perched on top of a visual mode that made the game literally unplayable for me. A glorious few hours was all I could manage, but maybe you have the fortitude of eye and body to make it through the entire experience. I wish that I could.
It's no thrill ride, but a thoughtful, mysterious adventure with moments of real wonder. If you're in the mood for something different, give it a go.
InnerSpace is a really intriguing title that we wish we didn't want to ever put down; the game's worlds give such a strong sense of amazement that you will want to spend every second flying through them. Unfortunately, you'll likely be left too frustrated by the sometimes near-impossible-to-find story progression tasks to keep going. We really want to love this game, and we very nearly did, but we just can't quite manage it.
InnerSpace wears its inspirations on its sleeve, and manages to replicate the tranquil atmosphere it's clearly aiming for. Its flight is enjoyable, with breath-taking views and colourful planets to poke around in. But it's progression and overall narrative really buckle under the weight, making the crumbling Inverse a wasted space for this otherwise relaxing exploration title.
In case you couldn't tell, InnerSpace is a game that you should be playing. The well-realized worlds, exceptional aesthetic and compelling exploration mechanics complement each other tremendously well. If you can get past the occasional bout of unnecessary complex exposition, the evolution of each environment tells a compelling enough story to keep you enthralled from start to finish. Drop everything and check out what deserves to be one of the sleeper hits of 2018.
