    Excellent plat-former & puzzle solver. I was quite engaged the entire way through.
    I really enjoyed the environment and the dark-comedy that the game presents.

    Highly recommended.

    A true masterpiece in design.
    If you have the opportunity to grab it on sale or not, go for it.

    The kind of games you got to try to understand what people mean and know for yourself.

Есть мультик "Поту сторону изгороди" вот эта игра мне дает вайбы с этого мультика. Она в меру жестокая, потому что там произошло какое то расчеловечивание, если это вообще люди, потом что из игры это тяжело понять, но точно не роботы. Всем рекомендую пройти игру, она не займет больше чем час, ну возможно два. но я думаю каждый их тех кто прошел остался доволен, надеюсь все будущее игроки тоже.… Expand

    I really enjoyed playing Limbo. It has good atmosphere and puzzles are challenging to solve but not frustrating. However there is no music at all, just some ambient playing sometimes.

    Хоть игра и старая и еще в черно-белом стиле, но по своему очаровательна, прошел не останавливаясь, советую!

    A great story to be interpreted. The dark and silent ambiance is just terrific. Puzzles requires some reflection. Music is gorgeous. The environment is highly stylish, and there are numerous moments where you can feel how small and sickly the character is. Boss fights are epic. Lighting is terrific.

    You certainly should be okay to die a lot to understand all the traps of this game. In a sense it may seems like a die & retry kind of game.
    I am very aware that 'Limbo' has something of really empty and hollow. Nevertheless I can't deny that I have been stuck in its universe and atmosphere all throughout. Must test.    … Expand

    This game was a present for my birthday, I didn't expect that I'll become addicted to this fabulous indy game. Sure 6 y.o. I wasn't too good at puzzle games but the atmosphere and the environment confused my mind. Even though, till this day I'm still playing and reminding myself that I had the best gaming experience ever.

    _и LIMBO не назовёшь демкой, то что мне дали разработчики - логично, если не углубляться в поиски этих смыслов, как платформер игра оправдывается на все сто процентов. Я очень рад, что именно сейчас прошёл её, да прикоснулся таки к истокам, к тем инди проектам с которых, если можно так написать - всё началось

    *_everyone had an understatement of this or that action, proposal, work, and you can’t call it an open end. The completed game LIMBO did exactly that to me, it seems there is a beginning, a gradual passage, uniform difficulty and riddles tied to completing, but it all looks and feels like a prologue, an introduction to a big game

    _and you can't call LIMBO a demo, what the developers gave me is logical, if you don't go deep into the search for these meanings, as a platform game, the game is fully justified.

    Um dos melhores jogos atmosférios/puzzle já feitos! Acredito que só fica atrás de Portal, pois os puzzles não são tão bem elaborados assim, mas vale a pena pela mensagem que passa!

    Simple and brilliant. The result of game + art. Game mechanics is great and it's mood quite unique. Puzzles are quite easy but since mistakes often means death and restart

    Game no estilo Little Nightmares, porem em preto e branco.
    Bem dark e sombrio, maravilhoso.
    Peguei de graça pela epic games.
    Campanha curta igual o Little Nightmares.
    Joguei pela epic e quase no final do jogo corrompeu o meu save, obg epic.

    When it comes to core game loop, design is simple and classic. Solve the level's puzzle, and move through right of the screen to advance new level.

    The level design is based on puzzles that can be solved with platform elements. The game has only 24 levels and the game time is only 2 or 3 hours. Yes, this is a short game. But the levels are well thought out. Some levels can force you even on the second play.

    The game mechanics are quite simple and efficient. Core mechanic's are moving to four directions and pulling something. And they actually enough for a puzzle platformer game like that. With good physics and animations, you can really enjoy that mechanics.    … Expand

    Gostei, o jogo é simples e não possui uma historia (não é brincadeira) vai da sua interpretação, bons cenários, boa jogabilidade e dificuldade alta, dá para quebrar um pouco a cabeça se fora primeira vez que joga.
