    Some of the puzzles and platforming challenges toward the end of the game were annoying. This game is all about atmosphere, and when you’re stuck, that atmosphere is ruined. There was really no need for this. There was one puzzle involving a magnet box at the very end that just makes zero sense. Check the chapter list, and if you’re a few rooms from the end and there’s a magnet box inSome of the puzzles and platforming challenges toward the end of the game were annoying.

There was one puzzle involving a magnet box at the very end that just makes zero sense. Check the chapter list, and if you’re a few rooms from the end and there’s a magnet box in front of you, just look immediately at a walk-through. Trust me, you will just waste your time if you try to figure it out. It makes absolutely no sense.… Expand

    通关！阴间解谜游戏，食脑虫太yue惹！ 不过游戏本身很有魔力，物理引擎真是太棒了，手感赞。 卡关了好几个地方，还好有攻略。 有些地方容错率很低，很有挑战性的说，值得一玩。

    Odds are you've already experienced it for yourself in the past eight years, but just in case you haven't, it might be worth a shot. [Issue #35 – September/October 2018, p. 21]

    Despite the short length it's easy to recommend LIMBO to anyone who enjoys puzzle games, especially given the way the game expertly crafts a foreboding atmosphere with a minimum of graphics and sounds. If you played the game when it was originally released, you'll find that it has aged well and is still wholly capable of sucking you back in the way it did when you first played it. If you're new to LIMBO, then it's about time you played this classic indie game.

    For all the time that has passed, Limbo remains a benchmark of the genre that few other games have come within sniffing distance of. It’s nearly unparalleled in terms of presentation and design, and this latest port to Switch has maintained everything about the game that makes it special. While some might lament the lack of any additional content, I wholeheartedly beg to differ. Limbo is a game that doesn’t need a single bit added, removed, or rearranged. It’s a classic in every sense and deserves to be played by as many people as possible.
