I just finished inside and wanted to see how people felt about it in 2023. Everything I’ve read about it around 2016-2017 seems to regard it as the best game of the year and in some cases one of the best of all time. It’s this truly still the consensus?
I’m going to be the voice of dissension. I absolutely adored Limbo and bought Inside day one solely because of it. But Inside just didn’t hook me like Limbo did. Inside was perfectly fine but I never gave it a second thought once I finished it, unlike Limbo.
I agree to be honest. Limbo seemed very touching and impact in its story. With inside the biggest argument I’ve seen is that the story is about individualism and working together but honestly, it didn’t feel like the story delivered the impact of the narrative as well as it could. Specially since losing your individuality was the best gameplay of the game.
