Speaking as a PlayStation focused gamer I have to admit that I'm very jealous of Xbox One owners and people with actually decent PCs because they get to play what is looking to be one of the most interesting and memorable games this year. Inside is the long awaited follow up to Playdead Studios first project Limbo and at first glance one could be forgiven for thing that Inside is nothing, but a shinner, newer version of it's spiritual predecessor. Both games begin with a young boy in a forest, solving simple block puzzles, and avoiding hostile enemies that can make short work of you. But where Limbo didn't ever really evolve beyond that Inside takes its rather simple premise and takes it to some very dark places. Exploring themes of corporate greed, mind control, and bodily violation all without ever uttering a single word of dialogue and instead relying solely on the player's interactions with the game world to convey its themes. The game has been getting tons of perfect review scores from many gaming new outlets including ones that are very fickle with their praise. If you lack the proper means to play Inside like I do I highly recommend looking for a playthrough with absolutely no commentary because the atmosphere and sound design are masterful and it would be ruined if one were to watch with someone droning over it. Inside is one of those rare, near perfect games that is nearly impossible to be describe and must be seen to believed.
