INSIDE is unique as it is the first game I have played, or the first piece of art I have experienced, to not really have a story, but still has themes and a message. It's very open to interpretation (I'm still debating if this is a game about socialism or about a parralel universe where a nazi-like regime is instaured), but will not leave you incensitive.

As for gameplay, the puzzles are smart, set a great oppressive ambiance. There are a lot of very strong moments, because of the oppressive ambiance, that will force you to do horrid things to survive. Also, the animations are suprisingly smooth and the artstyle, whilst not perfect, is nice to look at most of the time.
