Stark graphics, and that's about it.
To be concise, I don't get all the rave reviews for this game. While the graphic approach is extremely creative, that's about all the game has going for it. From a gameplay standpoint, it's Donkey Kong, but without all... Read Full Review

Like most puzzle games, after passing it the first time, the replay value goes down immensely.
For one, the most frequently complained about gripe with this game is the fact that it costs about $12 to buy enough points to unlock this short game. Artistically, it's quite David Lynch-like and presented in a depressi... Read Full Review

Like the titular realm, Limbo is neither abhorrent nor wonderful.
Ah, Limbo. It has been called this year's Braid; a masterpiece; perfect, even. Let's have a look-see, shall we? Limbo is a puzzle-platformer. And I'm going to address the game's largest problem immediately: Both the p... Read Full Review

Limbo is a work of art in many different ways..
First Thoughts - When I first saw Limbo, I did not expect much. It was just going to be another 2D puzzle game with the same old puzzles and repetitive gameplay, but I'm here to tell you that Limbo is much much more.... Read Full Review

There are many words to describe Limbo, I'll pick one: awesome!
One of the strangest game I've played in years this one! When you hear the title of this game, you think it could be a party game. Instead, it really is a dark, horrifying platformer, where you have to guide a cute littl... Read Full Review

More a trip to Boletaria than the Mushroom Kingdom.
Back in 2002, the PS2 release "Ico" gave new and enduring impetus to the debate that "videogames are an art form". Although I disagree with this view, "Limbo" is a similar expertly-crafted puzzle-laden dark voyage into a... Read Full Review

From start to premature finish, LIMBO captivates, frightens, and dives deep into the subconscious of its explorers.

This game is insanely addictive, and insanely fun! This game is a must buy, unless you have budget problems.
This game is amazing. There is no other way to describe it besides amazing. I think the game may be fun for other players, but there is a certain audience it was aimed for, and I think I fall under that audience. The gam... Read Full Review
