A Good Game Killed by Comparison
11 January 2023
INSIDE comparisons killed this game.

This game is good. People expecting it to be INSIDE are going to be disappointed because it is not INSIDE it is not even trying to be that game other than in font and art style. It also is not LIMBO, and that is good because I think it is better than LIMBO (not better than INSIDE).

Positives:
  • Story is good.


  • Score is beautiful and used subtly.


  • Art Direction
  • Stealth sequences.


  • Some good puzzles.


  • Fun Achievements.


  • Different endings.


Negatives:
  • Long ending. It just drags on and on and on and it feels like you are just doing nothing.


  • Bad navigation. The 3D navigation portions are awful. 2D-3D should be a 2D game with 3D components not a 2D game that makes you navigate in 3D.
