Is INSIDE one of the best games ever made?

I dont know if its one of the best of all time, but its one of the most interesting games ive ever played.
I don't think so, the gameplay is not that interesting and none of the puzzles feels really smart.
You can argue that the game does perfectly what it tries, but TBH it tries something really linear and limited so I don't think beig polished and having a good atmosphere makes a game "one of the best ever".

If you think it is, that's all that matters OP. I think Breath of The Wild is and many don't share the same sediment. I don't care because it's my opinion that's based off of the games I played and my taste.
I really like it, but for me, it's not one of the best games ever made.

I'd put it right up there with Hollow Knight as the best "indie" game of last gen. I've played through it in one sitting numerous times. If it had a Platinum trophy I would have it.
Their next game can't come soon enough.

I don't know if it's one of the best, but it's definitely one of the most unsettling games I've ever played. Any game that can affect me as much as Inside did is excellent in my book. How it accomplishes that makes it even more impressive.
I couldn't agree more. This game has more atmosphere them most AAA games I've played in recent years.I just bought the game again for Steam.
The initial moments already put you in the mood: tension, fear, anxiety... I start remembering more about the game:
- The minimalistic but sublime aesthetic.
- The sound effects and the subtle musical notes.
- The movement of the character. The superb animations.
- The story-telling: the virtue of telling a lot without the needs of words and long explanations, just by looking at your surroundings and playing.
- That unforgettable ending...
This is a game I would personally recommend to someone wanting to start experiencing videogames. And I think that is a huge praise.
One moment I really like is later on in the game where you have to cross an outdoor area that is periodically blasted with what I would call some kind of shockwave, and you have to shelter yourself from it. As a puzzle it's been done to death, but the look and feel of that section is wonderful and really conveys the sense of power and scale.
I don't like Playdead's games, so I would never consider it one of the best games ever made.
It's cool that people seem to really like it though.

Yeah I loved it. I don't remember a lot about the puzzles though aside from the ending. Limbo is a bit more memorable but that could be because it came first
This game didn't land for me, the atmosphere was good, but felt there was no coherence to the world, just felt dumb when I finished it because I know the game was trying to say something but I didn't get what that was.
The ending was a huge question mark of what is this? to me.

There are times where it feels too soulless for its own good, and some of the puzzles are lame, but it's a masterclass in sound design, atmosphere, and polish. One of my favorite games for sure, even if I don't necessarily love it every time I play it.
Thank you. Open world makes me nervous but it's Playdead so should be amazing.
I don't know about best of all time, but it is a great puzzle platformer with one of the most emotionally (?) gripping stories/journey. It's quite the experience.
When will we hear more about there next project?

I thought it was alright. Liked Limbo more overall, but it's good.
Loved the animations, though.

for me easily one of the best of it's time, probably within the graces of all time, but there's still time left...
When I played inside I felt it came from a future era, in which videogames as an art form had matured to a point where they could work with interactivity with the same mastery of its language and meaning that we currently have of cinematography, music, sound design or narrative; seamlessly integrating interactivity into that existing mix.
So on top of being very good, it gave me a type of experience I'd never had before.
It's a game I will always remember.

This is how I feel about it too. Looks cool but it wasn't enough to blow me away due to the meh/standard gameplay mechanics. The end also fell flat for me.
