    LIMBO is a wonderfully dark experience with its only real flaw being its stunted length.

    Limbo will assault your senses and challenge your intellect with one of the best puzzle-adventure games I've ever played on any system.

    A beautifully designed masterpiece of a platform game, that will chill, challenge and charm in equal measure. [Oct 2011, p.78]

  1. Turning the limitations of a small Indy game into a strength, Limbo is short but fun, has a memorable art style and is a must play downloadable game. The visuals of Limbo are simple and effectively create an eerie atmosphere better than most AAA video games. The game play is simple but adequately fun, the game physics are great and there are some memorable little game moments found in Limbo. Less can be more which is a lesson that the rest of the industry should learn. Recommended. Expand

  2. Limbo is the gaming equivalent of 'designer' bottled water -- the bottle is gorgeous, but you can get higher quality tap-water for a fraction of the price. Limbo has absolutey excellent art-direction, and the entire experience is eerily beautiful. Sadly, the game's selling points end there. The story is almost entirely non-existent, and manages to wrap itself up after only 3 hours of game play. If it were a Newgrounds title, all my 5 would belong to this. However, compared against other titles in the under $10 range, it leaves a lot to be desired. Expand

    I really don't understand why everyone is calling this game a masterpiece. The graphics are unique and they work. The puzzle solving is pretty clever but it's nothing special. The sounds work for the game but there really aren't any. There's no music throughout, only ambient sounds here and there. The game is fun and surely worth playing but even at the low price of 10€ on steam, I feel it's too expensive. It's mostly because of 1 flaw, a big one. The game is only 2 hours long and there is 0 incentive to replay it. The only thing this game has going for it is that it has a unique style. Play it, support the guys that make it, but don't expect anything more than a movie's worth of entertainment. Expand
