I just finished inside and wanted to see how people felt about it in 2023. Everything I’ve read about it around 2016-2017 seems to regard it as the best game of the year and in some cases one of the best of all time. It’s this truly still the consensus?
For me it was amazing. I felt that the 2.5 D was the best implementation of this type of mechanic I had ever seen. The way stuff from behind the environment comes into the 2D plain and interacts with the player is awesome. Extremely polished, very well animated, amazing visual tone, great atmosphere. Great semi scripted sequences, fantastic setpieces and (for me) an incredible ending (though disturbing).
How did you feel about the alternative ending?
TIL it has an alternative ending. I’ll look it up later!
Ha, awesome. Glad to share
