All time lowest price for this highly rated game on the Switch. Cheaper than previous price by 1c and is now $2.99 (90% off).
Note: This game has been free on Epic in the past so you might have it in your PC library already but I found it enjoyable in handheld mode on the Switch for on-the-go gaming.

Copy pasta of my review of limbo and inside:
"Going to be neg-ed for this but here is my review:
Limbo and Inside are both short games and can be completed within 4 hours. They both have a unique art style and that's the highlight in the game. Limbo with its black and white and Inside with phenomenal lighting to set the mood.
That's the only praise I can give it. With limbo, the first 1/3 was really great but then sort of lost its focus on atmosphere and just becomes puzzle platformer.
Both games do not have any text to convey its story and purely through its visual which was what drawn me in to these 2 games as well as previous $3 deal. However, they give you very little (extra emphasis on very little) to work off to create your own narrative which to me felt lazy. That said, there are many that do enjoy it, I just didn't.
From a puzzle platformer POV, it's okay. Some trial and error for some but none that made me felt smart for solving.
I think I entered both games with very high expectations from high praises (on ozbargain) and awards. I played both blind and when i reached the end for both games I was like "that's it???"
Overall, I think it's "art-y" and not for me and I cannot recommend this game.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk"
I wished I watched someone played this on YouTube instead of investing my time into it as I didn't like the gameplay
