This was a pretty universally praised game, so it's interesting to see some critical thinking on it

I agree that the actual "game" component here was pretty weak, which hurts replay value a ton. But I don't think this guy adequately accounted for the sheer "wow" factor of several ideas/sequences.

I mean, I would totally play Inside again, to look at the pretty visuals and study how the game surprised me, but it might be a bit of a chore because of the intense backtracking and the fact that the actual game itself is pretty frustrating. I think these are valid complaints that you could improve and the game would be even better.

Yeah, I hear ya. I haven't seen the video you posted cos I don't want the game to be spoiled for me. Haven't played it yet... :/

Don't be dissuaded from playing it, you should definitely check it out soon. It's honestly quite good issues aside

I find most of his critique valid, but the mystery, atmosphere and weirdness felt so special that I was willing to forgive all the shortcomings.

I'm currently replaying it just to admire the beautifully oppressive world it takes place in. Might even do it several times. :D

Very happy with the wins but i was really rooting for this to take best narrative! Ofc you cant beat Uncharteds amazing production value, but i appreciate how INSIDE used the medium in such a pure and excellent way. Would have been a better signal for the industry imo (assuming awards matter in any way) I see many game teams burning their fingers trying to do what Naughty Dog are masters of.
