Inside is a puzzle-platformer developed by Playdead, presented in a 2.5D side-scrolling format with a dark, predominantly monochromatic visual style. The player controls an unnamed boy navigating a dystopian environment, solving environmental puzzles, avoiding hostile guards and creatures, and using a mind-control device to manipulate bodies in order to progress.

IGNRyan McCaffreyJun 201810/10Inside is a 2D puzzle platformer that builds upon what made Limbo great, and in fact builds something greater.

Giant BombBrad ShoemakerJun 20165/5 starsPlaydead's followup to Limbo expands on and improves all of that game's ideas so thoroughly, there's no question why it took six years to get here.

VideoGamerTom OrryJun 201610/10Inside delights from start to finish. Don't miss out on what will surely be one of the best games of this generation.

Digitally DownloadedSep 20163/5 starsI’m sure others will (and already have) find meaning in Inside. There’ll be fascinating, insightful deconstructions and I look forward to reading them. There’s a wealth of praise for the game already. It’s clearly spoken to a lot of people, but it didn’t speak to me – except, perhaps, to berate me for not being smart enough to understand what it’s trying to say.
