Overall, In Between is a stellar title. It’s a refreshing take on the platformer genre in a market that is saturated to breaking point.

In Between offers a unique twist on the puzzle platforming genre, but the precision needed to complete each level, and the extreme difficulty, takes away from the enjoyment.

In Between is full of poetic metaphors and beautiful visual storytelling, but is so bogged down by the awkward and imprecise gameplay that it's hard to enjoy playing it, even if you appreciate its artistic value.

In Between is an exciting Puzzle Platformer with a few key twists. The game journeys through a dying man's mind, helping us to understand his journey to the otherside. As we travel through the emotions he experiences, each Act adds new game mechanics that change the way you must approach the level. As expected, the emotions tend to be dark, and as such, are often of great hindrance to reaching our final destination. Upon accepting our fate, we learn the ultimate truth: Sometimes, our biggest problems in life are all in our heads.

In Between is powerful, smart and engaging down to the last second. I only wish I could snap my fingers and forget everything about it, only to be able to experience it for the first time again.

In Between is certainly an experience worth having. It’s journey is not a path not many choose to take, and at the end it’s left all the more special and unique for it.

In Between is a confused puzzle-platformer with some interesting ideas but ultimately, the story held my interest more than the game itself.

Separately, In Between's gameplay and story are great. Combined they feel like a poor mismatch where one is constantly hindering the other. There are instances when the come together to create a harmonious interactive memoir, but you'll spend most of your time simply grinding through to get to the savory parts.
