What Gamespot Users have to say about LIMBO
- Rating:8
LIMBO's very short duration makes for poor value, but its aesthetic designs are bold and refreshing.
Boys being protagonists are not an unheard of premise in video games. The games that they are in typically cater to the family, young children or teenagers, so they are not expected to be thrust into situations with outc... Read Full Review

An eerie experience that pushes you further...............
There are so many games that include button mashing and in-your-face content that it gets wearisome. Limbo truly sets itself apart from all of these. The atmosphere is dark and intriguing. It uses light and ... Read Full Review

A wonderful atmosphere & artistic style, unfortunately disconnected from any meaningful story or gameplay.
Right away, I'll admit that my score of this game suffers because I expected it to be like Braid. It isn't. And not in the sense of different strokes for different folks. More in the sense of dissimilar and inferior. ... Read Full Review

Dark atmosphere and a darker theme.
This game had me curious from the moment I laid my eyes on the gameplay. it's pretty, dark and very atmospheric. Darkness is all you see, no lights, detail on characters or heavy sound FX, just a depressing day for a lit... Read Full Review

Wow, that was short not to mention easy.
Limbo is a nice artistic 2D platformer set in a surreal world. Other than that there isn't much to convey. There is no deep elaborate storyline to walk you through the game. You need to walk your way from puzzle to puzzl... Read Full Review

Interesting puzzles that ramp up in difficulty, great atmosphere in early game. Very short (about 5 hours)
Here is a part of my full review at: http://oneguytoomanygames.blogspot.com/2012/02/limbo-review.html Some online discussions have compared this game to another indie puzzler, Braid. Both make use of creative puzzles ... Read Full Review

Athmosphere is everything in this puzzle side scroller
Now this is a downloadable game that should be in everyone's library. Limbo blurs the line between art and game, delivering an athmosphere unlike any other game out there this side of survival horror. The graphics and so... Read Full Review
