Inside vs The Room 3
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.
The Room 3
The Room 3 is the second highly acclaimed sequel to an highly acclaimed puzzle adventure game series. This time around, the game sets you in a remote island that is filled with trials devised by the sadistic and mysterious figure known as "The Craftsman". Like the previous games, you'll need to figure out how to solve the game's many puzzles by examining and fixing various artifacts and devices. The game now has better hints, cloud saving and alternate endings. You are given an eyepiece to magnify the smaller parts of the puzzle as well.The Room 3 is perhaps the best game in the series yet and if the developers are working on another sequel, they have an incredibly high bar to reach. That said, it's best if you start with the first two games first, especially if you actually care about the storyline.
