    If someone ever tells you videogames aren't art, strap them to a chair and make them play Limbo. Yes, it's that perfect.

    When it was released in 2010 on Xbox Live Arcade, Limbo had everything of the absolute video game gem. A year later, its charms are stronger than ever. Wrapped in its simple yet elegant visuals, with a unique atmosphere, this platformer will challenge your sense of observation, your wits, and your brains... without forgetting to twinkle your emotions. A masterpiece yesterday, a masterpiece today.

    Limbo is simply one of the most impressive titles that PSN has to offer, and at $15, it's an experience that no gamer should pass up. [Oct 2011, p.80]

    This **** is amazing. We are so used to playing these crazy games with so many controls that we are drawn to a little game with 3 controls (walk, jump, and grab) and no load times. The atmosphere is enough to make this a 10/10 but the ending blows my freaking mind. I would give this 15/10 if i could. You would think that with a game where no one talks and you can't see the face or anything of anyone that there couldn't be a "good" ending. Limbo completely proves that wrong. I thought about what the ending really meant long after I stopped playing. It's simply amazing.… Expand

    I played the demo on the 360 when it first came out so, naturally when I heard it was going to the PSN I had to get it. I thought this game was completely unique and interesting. The art style is obviously really neat and unique as well. However, that being said, this game got controller shattering hard towards the end. You can see what you have to do and the physics just do not want to let you do it! Talk about frustrating. Overall, I still enjoyed the game, I just am not sure if I would play it a second time around.… Expand

    Dull and lifeless. Slow and repetitive gameplay, with disparate levels and retreads. Poor, unsaturated, depressing art direction. This is no mario. Its E-mario (emo mario) and a sad excuse for an indie game. I'm ashamed I played the demo and that this what gaming has become. I'll be playing the much more elegant and exciting Blade Kitten instead of this junk. If this was the only game in hell, I wouldn't play it.… Expand
