Limbo features a captivating world full of clever puzzles, a cryptic story about rescuing a girl to save oneself, and a curious ending that arrives just slightly too soon. In these respects, Limbo has much in common with two exceptional (and, frankly, superior) titles from gaming's recent past: 2001's Ico and 2008's Braid.
 
The Good:  The art style. The level design. The many frights!

The Bad: The virtually non-existent story. The disappointing brevity.
 
The Stand-out Moment: Meeting your first of many grisly demises.
 
The Verdict: 8.5 out of 10.
