Playdead’s Inside is a masterpiece from beginning to end, and its Switch port is as good as you could hope for. It’s another must-play title on Nintendo’s hybrid, and is unlike anything I’ve ever played before.
Inside delights from start to finish. Don't miss out on what will surely be one of the best games of this generation.
Two have the most original indie games have landed on the Nintendo Switch with Limbo and Inside which we're checking out here. However there is a catch to
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.
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 masterful, atmospheric puzzler, and one of the best games of the year.”
Limbo puts players in the role of a young boy traveling through a hostile world in an attempt to discover the fate of his sister.
Inside won't be for everyone, and likely will never carry the prestige that Limbo garnered years ago. However, it is a game made for those able to appreciate the nuance and artistry behind game design and building atmosphere. Though short, Inside is an amazing one-sitting gameplay experience for enthusiasts and indie-lovers that frankly should not be missed, no matter where you play it.
Puzzles are wonderfully designed but never too complicated. Never was the answer clearly given, instead I was forced to think about each action. Dynamic changes are constantly being introduced to ensure that nothing felt repetitive. Unexpected changes in the look and gameplay had me shocked. In one moment I’m breaking down a wall of a warehouse to make it to the next section and in another pretending to be like everyone else while a drone hovers behind me.
No missteps, no mistakes. Any way you look at it, Inside knows what it wants to be, while succeeding on nearly every level.
