Within

About

Within casts you as a lone wanderer in a shattered realm where twisted forces warp the land. You collect fragments of corrupted energy to rebuild the world while fending off hordes of demonic enemies. Combat blends real-time movement with timed button presses to execute spells and melee strikes. Exploration reveals hidden upgrades and lore snippets about the world’s collapse. The RPG elements focus on resource management and choosing which areas to restore first. The game’s stark visual style contrasts broken environments with bursts of vibrant color during combat. Early reviews praise its tight action mechanics and the satisfaction of piecing together the world’s history. While the story unfolds through sparse dialogue and environmental storytelling, the 15-hour runtime leaves some wanting more depth. Available on PC since March 2023, it’s a mid-length RPG for players who enjoy methodical progression over large epics.
