Also just finished and absolutely concur. That is an ending.
I truly cannot remember the last time I beat a game in one sitting. Being 41 years old that does not come all that often these days, so that was awesome.
But overall really thoroughly enjoyed it.
I only got stuck once, and figured it out 30 seconds after posting, think I just needed to step away.
From a purely gameplay perspective, I will say I liked Limbo a bit better, as although I never really got stumped with Limbo, I did have to think a hell of a lot more playing it. This game was definitely easier. I have a feeling they probably got feedback from Limbo that a decent amount of players found it too hard or some shit, as it definitely seemed easier overall. Thinking about it though, I am okay with that. As I said first time I have beat a game in one setting in I cannot remember how long, so even though it was easier, I still appreciated it.
I absolutely loved, loved, LOVED the atmosphere and tone. And as I said earlier in the thread, the visuals are among my favorite in video game history. The look and feel combined with the sound was perfect.
9/10. Easily.
Perhaps even a 10/10.

Just beat the game. Amazing. Also, apologize if this joke has been made, but this game will now be known to me as "Inside a.k.a.
".
A Boy and His Blob
Post it in the spoiler thread!
Would looove to see what more people think about whatever the hell is going on in this game
Stuck at around 50% of the game.
At one of the
At one of the
submarine parts where I get out and press a switch which causes the water to rise or go down when I press the switch. Its right after the part I smashed the walls with my submarine then got out and swam through the cracks
Runs perfect on XB1.
This fucking game, just got like 2/3 in. Significantly better than Limbo even though you can see it's the same type of game. Fitting sequel so far.
Limbo was always 'that's cool' and I enjoyed it, but the puzzles were SOOOO simplistic in that game. this feels immensely more satisfying.

Finished and....yeah.
Absolutely loved the game. Dat ending tho
I think there was only one part that stumped me for a bit but overall the game wasn't too mentally taxing. The oppressive atmosphere was incredible and the little touches in the animations and sound design were really well done.

Daft question, I know, but how do you save? I see no option in the menu - does it autosave like Limbo? Can't do it all in one sitting like I'd hoped.

It autosaves pretty regularly. Every time you clear a puzzle basically.
It saves every time you checkpoint, which is every one of those screens. it's often.

Yeah, I'm stumped.
I'm at a bit where I'm jumping off platforms, then having to swim to the next one all the while that horrific mermaid looking thing is swimming after me. There's two red buttons to press - one above and one below the water, I can't make out what I'm supposed to do? The one above is connected to a chain that moves side to side and the one under the water, that thing gets to me before I press the button to shut the door behind me?

Hang on to the chain and let your feet dangle in the water as it moves. It'll draw the mermaid away and give you time to swim down on the other side of the platform and press the button and open the door to get away.

I played it in one sitting. With breaks, it took like
4 or 5
Wow......
This game is so good. The art style and the little things like the smoke from a cigarette/cigar, the water particles when something falls in, the breaking of a light if it swings and it hits something. The game is super charming even though

I was enjoying it but when
the game turned all the way up to 11 for me.

it is super creepy about everything trying to kill you

I loved it, but I did not understand it. I thought I had a handle on some of the symbolism early on, but all that went out the window in the later stages.
On the ending...
On the ending...
I think it may take some time to digest, but I didn't like it. It was shocking for sure, but without context or payoff it just felt very random.

Took me about three and a half hours. Only died a handful of times and never really got stuck though, so I can see it taking 4 or 5. No more than 5 really.

Holy. Crap. Just finished. The game as a whole was fantastic, but, as the reviews say, the finale takes Inside to another level.

Just finished it, one sitting, don't know what to say other than that this game beats everything, polished more than a ND game and brings surprise after surprise and an extremely unsettling atmosphere that gets under your skin like nothing else. No clue what the deeper meaning of it is but this will still be my GOTY. 10/10

Really wish this was marketed, even though the lack of marketing really helped the games reception, so that more people were aware of it.

The Load button on the startup menu gives you the option to select different chapters/scenes.

These reactions getting me hyped for that PC release.
Seemed odd to me that Brad was so enamored with it. It's almost exactly the same as Limbo's.
