GOG.com announced on Thursday that both of Playdead's grim but beloved titles, Limbo and Inside, will be leaving the DRM-free platform on July 17th. While there is no stated cause for the delistings some have speculated that the ongoing legal spat between Playdead co-founders Dino Patti and Arnt Jensen could be to blame. I personally
Limbo is the archetypal “scared little guy in big scary world dark artsy platform-puzzle indy game”. Personally I found it overrated. Nice enough art style, but nothing of substance - extremely basic gameplay, no plot. Just a series of scary monsters killing you until you trial-and-error your way to the next section.
How good are these games? Are they worth buying before the delisting just to have them?

I played both, loved them but I understand it’s not for everyone, given the creepy/dark atmosphere.

I haven’t played inside, but limbo is absolutely fantastic.
Inside was better than Limbo for me, if that helps. Limbo was cool, but Inside had crazy atmospheric storytelling.
Limbo is a great game, Inside is a fucking masterpiece.
