LIMBO

A brilliant indie platformer. Braid can finally retire. [October 2011, p.100]

Minimum effort, maximum tension!

A beautifully designed masterpiece of a platform game, that will chill, challenge and charm in equal measure. [Oct 2011, p.78]

A superb, harrowing experience, guaranteed to crawl under your skin and stay there for a long time. [Oct 2011, p.58]

One of the best physics puzzle games out there. A clever game and one devoid of pretension. [Oct 2011, p.104]

Melancholic yet thrilling adventure you play over all at once. Game of clever puzzles and stylish visuals did not lose any of its appeal since its first appearance on consoles. [Issue#208]

We waited a whole year for the PC and PS3 versions of Limbo, but it was worth it – it's a pearl one in a million. Games like this just don't age. [September 2011, p.69]

Timeline that, to be honest, will be quite short. An hour, maybe two. That's if you don't want to get all 13 achievements, in which case you'll most likely need more than one playthrough.

LIMBO is a wonderfully dark experience with its only real flaw being its stunted length.

Limbo is a game worth playing, that much is for certain. I wouldn't recommend it as a purchase to those who have already played the title before, but if you have yet to experience what it's like walking through the darkness of a world that wants to see you dead, then give it a shot

Limbo is worth experiencing for the atmosphere alone, this little child´s world is an amazing place to get engaged. Aside of an obvious lack of complexity in its gameplay side this is one of the most artistic achievements you will see for years.

I like that for the most part it tests primarily your thinking capabilities, without resorting to hard-to-accomplish and time out ducking or jumping exercises to increase the game's difficulty. The visuals are shivers-up-your-spine creepy, and from the first to the last, though those two points are not very far apart, I've enjoyed my time in Limbo.

It immerses players almost effortlessly thanks to its sleek design and delightfully subtle lighting effects and creepy-looking shadows.

A masterpiece that transcends the boundaries of platformers and puzzle games alike. Beautiful visuals, smooth gameplay and fantastic audio - it's one the most atmospheric games we've played in years.

Yes, Limbo channels the poems of our inner teenagers about being misunderstood and lonely, but it does so bravely and beautifully, and it is a better game for it; a game that should not be missed.

This jump & run is a must-buy for every fan of the genre. Even beginners should take a look because Limbo shows that you don't need DirectX 11 or a huge story - just two colors and a lot of love.

Limbo will assault your senses and challenge your intellect with one of the best puzzle-adventure games I've ever played on any system.

Limbo will stay with me for a long time. It's art style and sound design are strong enough to have left a mark. I can guarantee, though, that I will not replay the game. There is nothing to draw me back.

For anyone who isn't immediately enchanted by its look and style, even ten bucks might be a bit of a stretch, but I still find it exceedingly difficult not to wholeheartedly recommend LIMBO to fans of indie games.

Thoughtful puzzles and striking aesthetics make Limbo a cerebral adventure you must experience.
