The Art of Minimalism | Limbo and Inside Retrospective

Playdead only has two games under their belt — the dark platformers Limbo and Inside — but they've already cemented themselves as masters of minimalism in video games. They champion reductive design that focuses on the core elements of platforming and video game storytelling, creating an experience that definitely proves that less is more. But what makes their games so special? Why are Limbo and Inside so beloved, and how do they use minimalist techniques to deliver a frightening, thought-provoking, and beautiful game? Let's find out in this double retrospective of Limbo and Inside. #Limbo #Inside #Playdead

NOTE: So at 1:33, I'm talking about Arnt Jensen but the footage shows Martin Stig Andersen by mistake. Apologies for this — that's what I get for rushing to get this video out on time.
