  • News Limbo and Inside Dev's Next Game Is Much More Open

    Heading outside

    Indie developer Playdead has only released two games: Limbo and Inside. Both are bleak, fairly short 2D adventures, and they're both brilliant.

    Step Inside

    Reviewing Inside is a tough proposition. On the one hand, this is a game that is fully deserving of a write-up overflowing with superlatives.
