While not having quite as striking visuals as its Playdead's previous game Limbo, everything else about Inside carries a similar weight and dread that was established with its predecessor. It's a story told with no words, which may sound somewhat cliche in the indie game scene, but the beautifully somber environments do more than enough to invest the player in the world. Even being more of a character driven story guy myself, I can appreciate a game's sinking feeling of isolation as the player is put in the shoes of a nobody who explores a dark liminal world.
