Limbo

werupenstein's Limbo (PC) review

Good early hooks turn to frustration

I played most of this game 5 years ago when it came out, I got stuck towards the end of the game and wasn't enjoying it very much so I just walked away from it.

After finishing Inside and not finding it difficult at all I decided to go back to this and give it another shot.

Limbo is a lot harder than Inside and at many points it really felt unfair.

This game was thankfully short.

Visually striking, really the reason to play this game, just an amazing atmosphere.

Controls well.

I found the implied story to be disappointing, probably the only thing that Inside did better than Limbo.

So I've played both games by this developer now and didn't really enjoy either of them for anything more than the worlds they created.

Not having played the majority of indy games out there on Steam or Playstation network, I can't say whether or not that game has been found. I can tell you one thing, however. Despite what you have been told, Limbo is most definitely not it. It is an indy, artsy game with lots of puzzles. That's where the similarities end. The game is a mediocre platformer, with poor gameplay that is disguised by an interesting presentation and a cr...
