It’s hard to classify it: it’s a platformer, but it will rarely require good timing it’s a puzzle game, but you won’t spend hours trying to figure out solutions it’s a horror game, but there’s no blood, jumpscares, fear, just a disturbing atmosphere. The graphics are very simple, but very elegantly produced. If you're new to the genre then you might be better off picking up say Trine, Trine 2 or some of the other puzzle games that get your mind thinking outside the box and have some "hints" along the way to keep you moving.Even after all these years, LIMBO is still one of the greatest indie games released. I think if the developers improved on these areas to help those that are intrigued, they'd get more people buying the game and more consistent 4-5 star reviews.īuying advice – if you're an experienced puzzle player, then you'll enjoy this game a great deal. If you get stuck on a puzzle, well, there goes your $10 because you're simply screwed. There is no explanation for how to play or what the objectives are or what you are to do. These two points make it an exceptional addition to the style of game, however it is not for the beginning puzzler. The sound effects are equally impressive and go a long way to make this game stand out from other puzzle games. I think it could be improved if it was zoomed in some, for a lot of that attention to detail is lost because the view is too far out. Many people reading this won't have a clue or the inclination to purchase because it's too vague. The half-fast effort and one line "Uncertain of his sister's fate…" is pretty conceited. For one, give people an explanation of the game. This is a nice addition to the puzzle genre, however a little more effort on the developers end would go a long way to making the buyers feel more appreciated. I think the playing time is enough for it to be considered a reasonably priced game.
The lack of text for the story allowed me to draw my own thoughts of how each puzzle fit into the game's story description. The puzzle designs suitably reflected the atmosphere of the game. I thought the puzzles would become more dull and repetitive, but I was astonished by how wrong I was.
I really enjoyed the simplicity of the gameplay: easy to learn and nothing too confusing to remember. Definitely best to hear with earphones on while sitting in a dark room. I'm surprised the game has an excellent soundtrack that matches its art. I thought it would take a toll on my MacBook Air but the game ran fine, since I only played a few chapters at a time. So I bought it as a hesitant whim as a way to pass time, unsure of whether or not I could understand any of the puzzles without help. I rarely play video games, but was drawn in by its art style and I had heard great things about it from my friends who played it on the Xbox360.
