Limbo is pretty short and minimalistic, but with its dark, mysterious atmosphere, clever and challenging puzzles, black-and-white style, and sometimes macabre, dark humor in the death scenes, it totally won me over. I highly recommend it.

I somehow missed this game for years, and I'm glad I finally got around to it. There's almost no dialogue, no hand-holding, and somehow I stayed hooked the whole way through. I definitely got flattened by traps more times than I'd like to admit, but every death just made me laugh and try again. It's one of those games that's easy to recommend because it doesn't waste your time. If you've somehow skipped it like I did, fix that. Just... maybe don't look up the puzzles unless you're really stuck. Pros: ● The black-and-white art style still looks fantastic. ● Puzzles are clever and rarely overstay their welcome. ● The atmosphere does most of the storytelling, and somehow it works. Cons: ● A couple of puzzles can feel a bit trial-and-error. ● Pretty short if you finish it in one sitting. ● The ending won't click with everyone.

I truly love how eerie, gloomy and unsettling the game is. I appreciate that it doesn't hold your hand and challenges your brain despite its simple mechanics. During the first blind run some puzzles may seem easier than others; you might predict what's coming, but then the next step offers another surprise. It was one of those games that had been lingering on my watch list for ages and ignited the spark at the right time. I wouldn't be surprised if Limbo was created by the spawn of the devil because it's passionate and quite humiliating. The secret level was the cherry on top. Every minute was amazing.

Simple mechanics and a beautifully progressing story. But the price a bit much for playing time.

I spent countless hours with this game as a kid, and replaying it now still brings back that same joy.
