Inside vs Machinarium
Inside
Inside is 2.5D-like, atmospheric puzzle/platformer where you play as a young boy trapped within a dark project that pushes the human body within the limitations of physics. Being a puzzle game, Inside has some of the most intriguing ones. The goals are often vaguely known rather than being concretely defined by the game, and of course, every aspect of the puzzle is built to push your use and understanding of the game mechanics and your character's (limited) abilities as a boy. Interestingly, there are a lot of water levels for a platformer game, but these levels somehow managed to feel relevant to the overall storyline and spices up the gameplay.Although many have openly criticize the ending of the game, the overall feeling that is evoked by it seems perfect for a game as dark and as unsetlling as this one. If you're ready for a puzzle-platform game that will challenge your brain while at the same time bring out strong emotions, this is the game to play.
Machinarium
Machinarium is an award-winning, puzzle-adventure game where you'll need to help Josef the robot rescue his equally robotic girlfriend Berta from the Black Cap Brotherhood gang. The game features plenty of logic-based puzzles along with a nice smattering of mini-games and adventure-based quests. The hand-drawn art style used in this game is perfectly apt for the overall theme of the game as well. Couple that with an epic soundtrack and you'll get a level of immersion that you might have never experienced before (or perhaps rarely) in a puzzle-adventure game. At the end, you'll actually feel for Josef himself.So, if you're up for a rather depressing and yet heartwarming puzzle-adventure game that will give your brain a run for its money, this is definitely the game to buy. If you get the chance, you should really try it.
