Excellent gameplay and an amazing artstyle make Limbo one of the best games of 2010.

With its intelligent puzzles and stunningly somber visuals, LIMBO is a perturbing, yet beautiful game.

Limbo is a game to be experienced by the individual, which is why no review can ever do it justice…not even this one.
The Good: Puzzle platforming at its finest; artistic visuals portray a dark, lonely atmosphere; incredible sound design heightens the sense of isolation; interesting secrets with cryptic achievements. The Bad: Ending ... Read Full Review

Limbo Review. This is a dark, grim, and beautiful game
Lately I have been getting into puzzle games. After finishing Portal this summer I was craving to play more puzzle games. A puzzle-platformer called Limbo was released by PLAYDEAD over the summer, and this game did an ef... Read Full Review

I don't care what you think, you haven't played a game like LIMBO.
So, what is Limbo actually about? Let's save both of us some trouble and not bother asking that question. The game has very little plot, and any traces of a plot are (seemingly) poetically cryptic. As you play the game i... Read Full Review
