Not my type of game but I still enjoyed the experience
Inside is a small gem, made by the same developers of the hit title Limbo.
The title isn't very long, but it's one of the best 2D adventure/horror games I've ever played. The attention to detail put in this game is nothing short of amazing, putting the spotlight on the love the developers had for their work. The gameplay never becomes repetitive, with each section of the game featuring unique gameplay mechanics for their stages that will never be reused. There are unique animations that are used once to convey emotion and character from the protagonist using all possible tools they could.
The audio deserves a really big mention, bringing every aspect of this adventure together and making it even more immersive.
I honestly don't think a game has ever said so much to me without actually saying anything.
Such a gem! I strongly recommend it.
9/10
Special thanks to a friend who insisted on me taking it.

Uno di quei giochi da finire in una notte d'estate.

GAMEPLAY
The controls were rather simple and the game probably wouldn’t have worked better in a different way. It definitely let it feel more immersive, both in its entirety and smaller details. A lot of the puzzles felt that way, although some of them were a bit more complex than others (but that’s okay).
I found no major bugs but I noticed the character’s movements were at times unprecise and slippery.
Unfortunately, I didn’t feel the (good kind of) anxiety I used to get when I first watched someone play INSIDE, not even during chase sequences, but I was younger then. I also think it’s unfair to consider that its main trait, because I believe it really isn’t.
STORY
As I’ve just said, I wasn’t really scared when playing, but the dystopic tones and settings were rather felt: that’s probably my favourite thing about the game because it was quite disheartening to see the sameness of the people and buildings, while whatever/whoever was different was either fleeing, dead or experimented on.
I didn’t full understand the story, but I liked both endings. The main one was honestly depressing: playing as the blob was disturbing on its own but the very last scene where it just lays there on the ground, after finally escaping the facility, was very impactful. The secret one felt more relieving, in a way: I was a bit shocked to know the main character was just a body used by the blob, just like how the former controlled other ones in a few puzzles, but the “definitive” death of both of them just felt like the better outcome.
CONCLUSIONS
I have not much else to say regarding INSIDE, given it was a relatively short and simple experience, but I appreciated it even though not as much as I used to. Probably, because of nostalgia, I had high expectations the game just couldn’t meet.

Short but sweet. Amazing storytelling and atmosphere and visual/cinematography
The ending to this game is so wild that I played the whole thing with my mouth wide open like some kind of simpleton and Lauren was like hey what's wrong are you having a stroke and I was like no look at that thing and then her mouth was wide open like a simpleton too.
Short one, whole game's atmosphere was cold and amazing. Some say the ending left a lot to be desired but i think it's kinda powerful. The alternative ending tho....
What was that ending??
Que con lo corto que es pueda transmitir tanto merece bastante reconocimiento
É um limbo muito melhor, mas ainda estou jogando então não posso dar uma nota muito alta
Very similar to Limbo. It was short and interesting.
Cool atmosphere and nice twist but not a whole lot to it and the "secret ending" was a dissapointment
jogo bão, mas não entendi a história 👍

Enfim partindo pra review, bom não é surpresa que eu amo jogo nesse estilo, mas não irei me estender falando o mesmo que sempre falo, e sim sobre a gameplay....
Bem a movimentação é muito fluída e da um pau me muito jogo, e os cenários são inexplicavelmente bons, a vibe que eles transmitem sempre tem um ar de mistério que eu amo, os puzzles são simples pra justamente não te prenderem em uma parte do jogo e te estressar, e sim condizerem com o que está acontecendo no meio do cenário....
Mas é isso, eu amo❤️ esse jogo, e foi a segunda vez que joguei, e sempre me impressiono.
Sem falar que o boneco se molha na água, (coisa que final fantasy 7 remake não faz)😄
E não enche o saco falando que faltou isso ou aquilo, apenas falo oque lembro que no caso é quase nada.
Enfim essa é apenas a opinião de alguém que ama jogar vídeo jogos☝️🤓.

quando terminei senti uma sauddes um vazio inexplicavel... me senti abraçada por um jogo sem texto
Un gamedesign original, une très belle direction artistique et une intrigue mystérieuse.

hes still inside..dead.. poor thing i hate these kind of endings
not usually into these types of games, but it had some tense moments. The ending was pretty nutty
Um dos melhores jogos do tipo plataforma cinematográfica, também gosto muito de Planet of Lana.
Recomendo jogar a primeira vez e ter a sua interpretação, procurar os troféus e fazer o final secreto, é um grandioso fim de um ciclo.

nao entendi porra nenhuma
Direção incrível, um sentimento misto de angústia, terror e solidão. Curtinho, parece que você está jogando um filme de ficção científica sem diálogos. Recomendo fortemente.
Alla fine diventi un Rafbeer e rotoli in giro
si
A dark, enigmatic and captivating universe
The very discreet soundtrack and the arrangement of lights contribute greatly to this overwhelming ambition
Environmental, metaphorical storytelling can be too cryptic but fascinating
3D models and superb character animations
A brilliant game in what it does and what it offers, in its "inside" themes and the way it pushes all the game mechanics in this direction

no fim, somos bola de carne.
Waiting for the next Playdead's game
que jogo bão
Que doideira do caramba esse game na moral kkkkkkkk, a playdigious é mestre nesse ramo, o jeito que a trama te prende com os subtextos e mistérios é bizarramente viciante, e o final? Bom, o final você se vira pra deduzir.
Interesting Concept
Coming off of LIMBO, I think PlayDead did a great job with this game. You get the same eerie atmosphere that Limbo provides, but with a lot more detail and opportunities for worldbuilding and subtle storytelling. Puzzles are fun (most of the time), and the game offers you a great sense of progression as you make your way through them and into new locales. And adding new mechanics along the way keeps things fresh, while also lending themselves cleverly as part of the narrative. Although the ending may be controversial, Inside is a great game all the way through.
