This week saw the release of Inside on Steam. It is the follow-up to Danish developer Playdead's highly-acclaimed 2010 game, Limbo. In many ways, Inside appears to bear a strong resemblance to Limbo; they are very similar in theme, gameplay and, so far, even critical reception. If you haven't already, you should probably go ahead and add this one to your must-play list for 2016.
Also out in the last two weeks, the latest entry in the previously portable-only Zero Escape series, the confusingly-titled 4th entry in the Hyperdimension Neptunia series, Megadimension Neptuina VII (that's actually pronounced "V2" as opposed to the Roman numeral for 7), and the third game in Triangle Service's excellent Arcade shoot 'em up "Zeal" trilogy. According to Wikipedia, the sound designer used an actual human skull as an audio filter to create the music for Inside. Jump past the break to see more of this fortnight's new releases.
