Inside is perhaps the most overhyped, overrated game this year. It's pretty, it's got great atmosphere, and that's about it.

No Man's Sky would like some words with you.

Granted, NMS survival mode is *great* now, but that patch only happened several months after release.

I guess I meant post-release. No Man's Sky was hyped before it came out, but not after anyone actually played it. Inside got very little coverage before release, but the internet in general, both consumers and critics talk about it like it's the single greatest thing ever made.

Ahh, yes. I understand now.

I can understand why people like vanilla No Man's Sky more than I can understand why people think Inside is so good.

Having not actually played Inside, I can't speak to this. It looked like Limbo but with more colors. Is that a fair assessment? Limbo was pretty neat, though, I thought.

I say forget anything you've heard and just play it. It doesn't take long and is best experienced in one or two sittings.
