Played Inside yesterday. (Playdead's next game after Limbo) ... It's gorgeous. The art-style is just wonderful--again, a fairly minimal color pallet, with clean simple lines, yet the use of light and shadow (particularly in combination with layers and parallax) creates a really rich environment. ... This is not a sequel to Limbo, so forgive the comparison here, but it's helpful: Inside is definitely more of a story than a game. The puzzles are fewer and farther between than Limbo, and also not as challenging/intriguing. There is less wit, but also fewer fsck-you death moments. The overall world is more developed, and there is a bit of a story that unfolds throughout the game (the ending gets weird). Inside is definitely darker in tone. And still visually beautiful.
