It hasn’t copied those kinds of games, it’s learned from them. A game that contains both chase and stealth sequences, with quieter moments where environmental puzzle solving is done, which do involve a few unusual mechanics that do build on each other in clever ways. What ties it to be more like a triple-A video game is the use of tension driven set-pieces. It only lasts about 3 hours instead of 30. It’s still a focused game, it’s a side-scrolling platformer with two buttons jump and grab.

Not to say that this is some over-produced video game chimera like so many big budget titles can be, and while the game certainly is beautiful it has nowhere near the production value to match what is built on that scale. It’s not exactly like Limbo, it’s like someone took that game and designed it with more of the mentality that some might approach to creating a triple-A title. That’s the easy pitch, but I’ll be perfectly honest with you. No surprise coming from the same developer, Playdead, but this one has taken them six years and that really shows in the level of detail this game has.

Did you ever play Limbo? Did you like the sort of game that was? Inside is that kind of game again, it’s like Limbo.
