INSIDE Review

[@EldenLord555]

The end had me in tears at first! The pure horror. I disagree with his review. This game is a 9.5 if not a 10. A subtle, beautifully atmospheric masterpiece. The sheer polish alone puts most games to shame. You're a dummy if you don't support these brilliant deva

[@SuckMyDave]

Completely agree buddy. Incredible game.

[@jasondp3546]

Was this game really that good?

[@nataljajurisa4679]

They gave the game an 8/10 how is that doing a diservice to the devs, an 8 is a really good score.

[@gabrielibowen1]

I agree hunter, and I can't believe the reviewer found anything in this game to be humorous. Just from the way he describes the plot in the beginning, you can tell he didn't take a moment after to think about what just happened. There's a much larger story taking place here.

[@Shercko]

I just finished this and no way is it any less than a 9/10, no freakin way.

[@gabrielibowen1]

I just bought and finished this a few days ago, and it's still better than a lot of other games I've played. Probably the most polished game I've ever played, to the point of I really can't think of anything I'd add or remove. 10/10 for me.

[@BigBoss7777777]

How the fuck is this a 9/10 game? It's so incredibly linear and scripted. Much of the game is just trial and error and requires no skill at all. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed this game but it's definitely flawed.

[@gabrielibowen1]

Linear and scripted doesn't mean it's a bad game. This is one of the things I hate about this gen, because open world became the standard for AAA. And as a result, you get a bunch of padded games with filler quests. The last of us & uncharted 2. Great games, and linear. I wish there were more story driven action games like those. For me, inside is a great game.

[@BigBoss7777777]

I hear you on that, some of my favourite games are linear but not to this extent. Games like Uncharted 4 are wide linear where there's still some skill involved and more than one way to get past a level. In this game it's just trial and error most of the time. You literally have to die and learn the script of the game just to progress. That's not a 9/10 game to me.

[@Shercko]

"Learn the script"? For 5% of the game, sure, like in the beginning when you have to hide from the guys and run from the dog. But if puzzles who require timing and calculated moves in order to solve are nothing more than learning a script, then I guess most puzzle platformers are just "scripts you have to learn"? Dude. Remember the mermaid? Timing. The doomsday device where you have to stay behind stuff to not get blown away by the pulse? Timing and rhythm. The parade? Timing and improvisation. It only becomes trial and error if you're too slow to get it right first couple of times. But none of that matters because you have already missed what this game actually is. Inside is an experience. It's a ride. It is meant to be gazed at, listened to and felt. Not to "beat" or be solved. It is meant for people who enjoy taking the time to take in the sights and sounds, the incredibly well crafted textures and subtle animations, the beautiful layering of fog and light effects, the high level of detail and careful use of color which all lends to the beautiful and quietly threatening feel of the game. The sound design and music, again by the insanely talented Martin Stig Andersen, whose less-is-more approach in combination with the crunchy, wet, hyper-organic characteristic of the sound just takes the game to another level by itself. Try playing through it with a serious sound system and you'll see what I mean. And don't say it doesn't have a story because it very much does, but it's somewhat open to interpretation and leaves many of its decisions to you. Which is fine, because the story is more of a backdrop just like the puzzles and.. scripts. Try to look at it from another perspective, think about what the artists wanted to communicate to you throughout the game and I'm sure you'll have a very different experience. Peace.

[@neonpop80]

10/10 masterpiece

[@romitsen3405]

How can anyone rate this game anything less than 9? Have anyone ever made a game like this? I bet even Big studios cant pull this off. Look at the level design, the animation, the way it plays. I think Playdead is one of the best game studios out there. Way to go guys!

[@galax12370]

oh and the visuals are pretty good too.

[@Jayy997]

What a poor review. You big gaming sites always attempt to sound articulate and eloquent but in the process miss the point epically. Everything you talked about in this review sounded robotic and disconnected from the actual sublime experience.

[@romitsen3405]

So true man. These idiots need to learn how to be less mechanic and stop licking balls of big publishers and studios.

[@ntube7]

The reviewer sounded like one of the zombies you control in the game!

[@ethansequeira2431]

this doesn't seem like a fair review. 8/10 is too low for this masterpiece

[@oooodaxteroooo]

If you're looking for gaminess and mainstream, an 8 is what you find. Still good. 😏

[@BobaGabe1]

One of the best games I've ever played. Truly disturbing and fantastic. I absolutely loved the ending.

[@urabusxrw04]

Hey guys, Oddworld called and wants their concept back.

[@adamskiii4015]

L

[@jborrelli34]

not even close shut up and go away

[@TheTrailerCREAT0R]

Nice try.

[@dan6414]

what is this game about?

[@Jetset575]

Maybe they got inspiration from Oddworld? This isn't a copy at all.

[@phillystandup5691]

God forbid GameSpot score any Microsoft exclusive higher than an eight... I'm positive this would get an extra point if it weren't a Microsoft exclusive

[@reloaded17]

+Jeremy Freeman yeah, they just suck on Sony's. An 8 for a possible GOTY title. Unsub'd Gamespot a long time ago.

[@drummer7557]

reloaded17 True too... They all seem to suck on something LOL

[@Iggsy81]

it would be 10/10 game of the year if it was sony

[@Ginsu131]

Last gen: "Reviewers are biased against Sony. It's not fair!" This gen: "Reviewers are biased against MS. It's not fair!"

[@CooperCreations1]

This game is out on steam now, so its not an exclusive anymore.

[@isaiahrilles9980]

Summary of this comment section IGN: 10/10 (meh, Microsoft paid them) GameSpot: 8/10 (this is a very honest review) ?????????

[@xBINARYGODx]

That's Sony fans for you. The game is getting amazing reviews from most places - but is GS is low balling it and IGN is in line with most other reviews - it must be that MS paid IGN, when it would seem more likely to assume Sony paid Gamespot. I mean, if we are going to use scores as evidence of such things.

[@isaiahrilles9980]

+BINARYGOD the game deserves an 8 or a 10 but to use the score as a basis on how much they get paid is completely absurd.

[@xBINARYGODx]

Isaiah Rilles That was my point, actually. And I think the overall critical consensus and user consensus show that the game deserves a 9 or 10 out of 10. But whatever...

[@hgfdssdfgsffgdsfesfg]

wtf does microsoft have to do with this

[@CostaApostolou]

lol just finished the game and got all the 15 secret. This game is by far the best game I've played this gen and if you look for the secrets and not just try to rush it's not really short. My Xbox one says I've clocked 8hours which might be wrong but I played it for 6 hours at the very least.

[@GForceIntel]

Wait what this game is out. Yo this shit looks epic

[@xxlive4eatingxx275]

I think tomorrow.

[@MRZjuan]

july 7 or 8

[@Onestrandedperson]

+Juan Morales it comes out tomorrow

[@MRZjuan]

Onestrandedperson :0 my bad, cool!!

[@Onestrandedperson]

+Juan Morales although, I think you may be right about the July release too but that's for PC.

[@lettherebelamp5102]

Deserves a 10. The level of statements said but never explicitly said is incredible. And don't even get me started on the graphics

[@insxmnia4706]

IGN 10/10 👏👏👏

[@pablocottin4477]

This game is absolutely amazing. It deserves at least a 9 out of 10.

[@LiangHuBBB]

this game is a masterpiece. even if you dont like puzzle games you will love this game. I

[@CoopBosses]

8/10.

[@stavrospaok6610]

You are the real MVP

[@Jesusvanegas94]

IGN gave it 10, omg

[@amitklain4199]

If the only thing you're here for is the number in the end maybe just skip the review entirly

[@Calinks]

Game of the year!

[@WHPL4SH]

Don't watch this review, tons of spoilers!

[@XGames-94]

This game deserves at least a 9, in my opinion.

[@GazJrpg]

IGN gave it a 10

[@ReviewPimpUSA]

LOL game looks good but, it should NOT be in the league of gta v, uncharted 4, mgs v, tlou, zelda skyward sword, read dead redemption etc. Not in a million years

[@Radial9Gaming]

+Papa Pimp Being 10/10 doesn't mean it should be in the GTA league. It means the game is a masterpiece for what it's worth.

[@HopDances]

Comparing a indie game to AAA games is kinda dumb. A game can be a masterpiece without having millions and millions of dollars pumped into it.

[@johnward880]

They gave it an 8.

[@Wesker12349]

+Papa Pimp im a ps guy, u can check my trophies, and I want this game so bad. This, cuphead and sea of thieves are games that im looking forward to, but I ain't buying an xbox for 3 games

[@86themadhatter27]

I don't trust the xbox fanboy Ryan McCaffrey's 10/10 IGN review for a second so nice to see it got an 8 here. Sounds like another must play

[@zozobra226]

gamespot rated this the lowest of all other reviewers

[@xBINARYGODx]

and yet people say this review proves that Ms paid off IGN, but not that GS was paid off by Sony. Must be lot's of PS-owners in this thread.

[@zozobra226]

game got almost perfect scores..or atleast above 9 nearly everywhere. MS wont spend that much to make a small indie game stand out. and even people have voted this extrememly positive.

[@xBINARYGODx]

Rajarshi Mukherjee My point exactly - most "prof" reviewers and user's all think it is 9-10/10. I was sort of talking about the way people who are PS-lovers are reacting to GS giving it an 8, but almost everyone else with 9-10/10. given how we almost never get a game thing amazing on any platform - I give it an 11. Of course, really a 10, but 10's are not really given to games that truly deserve it IMO.

[@zozobra226]

the moment i saw it, i know this game was gonna stand out. i have been waiting for this for so freaking long. im a huge Playdead fan....looking forward to play this game on PC

[@EricGiby]

Also Gamespot rated No man's sky the highest of all other reviewers

[@Nertez]

I really wish they would show immediately in the beginning what platforms is this realeased on.

[@jonahstein2139]

I could only watch a minute of this video review. I stopped to keep anything from spoiling my experience. LIMBO was great, and Inside looks to be an improvement in production values and (hopefully) gameplay. I will be buying this tomorrow.

[@jonahstein2139]

This will make the 4th exclusive game that I look forward to playing on XB1, and isn't on PS4.

[@watchALLthethings]

Worth a fuckin' 10 and you know it.

[@amiravdic4104]

watchALLthethings Haha u nailed it. Timeless masterpiece is what this gem of a game is

[@rondlh20]

Very creepy ending... definitely worth a buy...

[@RDHardy79]

This reviewer, it seems, is being a bit harsh just for the sake of it. This game is fantastic, plain and simple. I beat it last night in one sitting and it continuously, and consistently impressed me, entertained me and kept me tense and intrigued. I LOVE this game. One of the best games I have ever played. The ending is the only issue I had with the game, but only because it ended at all. I wanted more.

[@DylanFromAZ]

GameSpot and IGN uploaded the review at the same time, that'll give something the internet to fight about

[@TheProphegy]

Such an amazing experience. It goes beyond just a fun video game, and it's something you have to play and experience. 9.5/10.

[@dally1398]

Looks like a sidescroller I actually want to play

[@alphaslick2021]

I don't really imagine myself playing these type of games in an Xbox ... just dosen't ...seem right.

[@CYCLEGAMER1]

why? what difference does it make if its on Nintendo, Xbox pc or playstation? its all mental...lol

[@saintlaurent6109]

Same here. I would rather play rainbow six, call of duty or GTA V.

[@jasonvoorhees3666]

IKR.. Looks like one of those cheap ass steam games

[@KaranJanii]

These are truly some of the best video games ever made. they may not be gta 5 or other shooter games, but they're amazing and i recommend you to try them :)

[@samil6899]

+Chili Dog moron

[@princesmith8008]

*INSIDE* is drenched in mystery, chaos and suspense with a little bit of horror sprinkled for the perfect taste. *This is the pinnacle of platformers, truly a masterpiece of its genre.* 💯 Edit: I disagree with a lot of things you said in this review, it's a 10/10 game. I'm glad the ending grew on you because that's exactly what elevated the game even more.

[@dominicurbain9360]

8/10 ? come on Gamespot ! this game is very very good and even IGN put it 10/10 ! You guys need to do your review with someone who knows to appreciate a Masterpiece !

[@Daoldman]

I played Limbo and was intrigued by the simplicity of the mechanics and graphic content. I saw Inside on the Switch platform for 1.99. I must say it was the best 2 dollars I have ever spent. 😂😂😂 When the character got shot for the first time I knew this game would be awesome! Great job to the Devs!!!!

[@FATERNAL1]

i just finished this game today. it was fun as hell. even tho the end was a little. eh i dont know to be honest. good game tho

[@clayconger]

Can people stop complaining that the game got an 8? 8 is really high. Just because it's not 10/10 doesn't mean the reviewer is stupid or biased or "didn't get it." Relax.

[@wjfox2006]

I normally agree with GameSpot reviews, but I feel this was underrated. It's a masterpiece and worth at least a 9 in my opinion.

[@lookintok]

IGN 10 GameSpot 8 so far great reviews from this game I feel all 2016 games are getting bad reviews besides this one.

[@e1iteyoshi998]

So is this one of those bad reviews?

[@alonsom8977]

+Frankie Reese lol is the lowest score given to it by a big reviewer as everyone else has given this game a 9 or higher even thougth this is a good score

[@e1iteyoshi998]

Well this review is already being accused of being biased. They're saying that Gamespot has done this with every single Xbox indie game released.

[@lookintok]

Frankie Reese no it's got a great reviews

[@e1iteyoshi998]

Kevin Sanders I know that. It's what I saw from the comments on the written review on Gamespot's website.

[@lettherebelamp5102]

"While most of these are fun, there comes a time when "Inside" leans too heavily on it's puzzles to keep you engaged." Yeah...... it's a puzzle game...........

[@573WTF]

I'm not that into such games, but it really looks awesome! Great Review :) TY

[@HardcorePanda]

Looks Great, but currently only on XBOX :( , gotta wait till steam release.

[@wakaneut]

The only game that gives you an explanation to why the character only walks in 2 dimensions

[@ReviewPimpUSA]

The real question is: Will xbox one fans buy it, or is the left up to PC games and PS gamers to help this game sell as always. I guarantee this game will not sell over 200k copies on the xbox one. Xbox one fans only buy fps and racing games, they don't know what REAL gaming is, most of the xbox one fans started gaming in the 360 era and that's a FACT. They never enjoyed classic games like, megaman, chrono trigger, ff6, ducktales, super metroid, perfect dark, battletoads, super castlevania 4, they simply didn't. So they can't enjoy a REAL game So it's up to PC gamers and ps gamers to help this game thrive and sell well #LMAO

[@poopsicle1654]

Ps4 and pc players also play racing games. GAMERS play racing games. These are real games too, and have always been a staple in gaming, just not a prominent genre this time around.

I'm definitely gonna buy it

[@TheTomruch]

I'm definitely gonna buy it

[@e1iteyoshi998]

So now apparently this review is starting to get hate because Gamespot has supposed "given unfair reviews to Xbox indie games in the past." And now it's happening again. Is that seriously a good reason to hate on this review?

Looks pretty interesting really, but sort of a shame they didn't derive more from their established formulas.

[@canyonjames8519]

this game was sick

[@Kindlesmith70]

So how is it a review is done before the game is even publically released?

[@massimoyang1144]

Is 8 a common score for gamespot people to review the game they like? I remembered the dude who reviewed dark souls 3 said he like that game, odd. Yes, yes 8 means great, but it still a 8

[@e1iteyoshi998]

Well they gave Uncharted 4 and another game they recently reviewed a 9. But, as for your question, yes they do give a lot of 8's on their reviews. Honestly they give 8's so much on their reviews that at this point it's easy to predict what the scores for their reviews will be.

[@massimoyang1144]

You have the point, but I mean 8 is totally ok, still it's not a score you'll gave for the games you really like, right? Yet those two reviewers saying they like inside/ds3, just feels so weird

[@e1iteyoshi998]

massimo yang Yeah but at this point, gaming websites are losing credibility. I'm understanding to the score, but you got others out there that will point out the hypocrisy they find in their reviews and it will start a chain reaction.
