Inside vs Myst
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.
Myst
Myst is one of the world's most highly-acclaimed puzzle-adventure game that's set on an island where every object can provide you a clue to revealing an ancient mystery. Filled with challenging puzzles that will give your brain a good workout, the game has astounding graphics for a game from its time, offering players the sort of realism and immersion they have never felt before.A classic and a timeless game, Myst has inspired a generation of gamers and gaem developers and is still influencing the development of some modern games. However, the Steam version of this game tends to be a bit crash-happy, making the game a real pain to play. You might want to try other versions of the game, like the one from GOG, instead.
