00:00I've been sitting on this one for a few weeks now, mainly because I'm not the biggest fan
00:17of puzzle games, but Infinite Inside has quite a fresh approach to being a puzzle game. At
00:23first I was wondering if the game was even a puzzle game, but as you progress it slowly
00:27gets a little tougher, but not impossibly so. This set kind of reminds me of that 80s
00:33film, Labyrinth, starring David Bowie, or Bowie, depending where you're from. Stones
00:39and staircases everywhere, but it looks absolutely fantastic, set amongst five beautiful scenes
00:46that all have a story to tell. The game has been very clever with its puzzles, from finding
00:51pieces in a rock-like formation which rises up in front of you, which is known as the
00:57plinth, to build a key-shaped-like square most of the time, to then transporting yourself
01:03through a portal to which looks to be inside this rock formation, the plinth. Then to find
01:10other shards that you will use to build a key. It sounds very confusing, but when you
01:15play the game it all makes sense. As you collect these shards, it will tell you on the back
01:20of your left hand just how many you have collected, and how many you still need to collect. There
01:26seems to be a character that pops up every so often, that I'm assuming is there to give
01:31you hints, or it's a shadow from a previous life. The controls are very easy to grasp,
01:38you will have them down within minutes, the menus are simple, although I do wish there
01:43was an option to switch off the music. The size of the game is fair for the price, but
01:48it is one of those games that you will wish had more to it, because it's so unique and
01:53different. The only thing I wish Infinite Inside had was free-roaming instead of the
01:58teleport-type movement they have. I'd have liked to have been able to explore the levels
02:03with more freedom, but it doesn't take anything away from the game. Now this game does have
02:08pass-through, but it's in limited places. The plinth will appear through the floor in
02:13your home, which for me was an added laugh because I play upstairs, so my kids were going
02:19downstairs wondering how this plinth object was going through the ceiling and coming through
02:24the floor. Anyway, if you like puzzles with a story thrown in, you really should consider
02:30giving this one a go. So I score Infinite Inside a 21 out of 25. You can find my scoring
