Inside vs Limbo
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.
Limbo
Limbo is a platformer with some really hard (yet rewarding when solved) logic-based puzzles and a melancholic atmosphere mainly due to its shadowy world and graphics. In this game, you play as a boy who ventures into Limbo in hopes of finding his sister and learning her fate. However, like any adventure, you can definitely expect plenty of challenges and obstacles along the way.Limbo, like Inside, is a puzzle-platform game that can get increasingly very difficult and some of which may require a lot of trial and error to solve. So, if you're up for a brain-teasing challenge, you might enjoy this game.
