Anybody here pick this up yet?
LIMBO—Playdead's first game, released in 2010—really turned me around on gaming as an adult. I had grown up playing on a Sega Genesis, N64, PS1, PS2, and a Gameboy Color—but from around age 16 to 20 I hardly gamed at all because nothing really ever grabbed my attention like the games I had grown up with.
Then LIMBO came out, and totally reinvigorated my appreciation and love for video games. For that reason, it has held a special place in my list of top games for the last six years.
After all that, however, INSIDE totally destroyed that sentiment in literally 30 seconds. This game is rich in art direction, sound design, mechanics, and animation. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw a game that looked this refined. Obviously, I still have a lot of love for LIMBO, but INSIDE is so much more of everything that made LIMBO great, with a healthy dose of extra.
If you loved, or even really liked LIMBO, do yourself a favor and grab INSIDE, plan an evening alone with no distractions, a dark room, and a good pair of headphones. This game will do something amazing to you.
If you haven't heard of it till now, but absolutely insist you see a trailer first, watch this fullscreen, and with good headphones.
