    This is puzzle adventure game. The game is simple but learnable. Player must solve the puzzle to finish the game. The graphic is black and white but it make more mysterious.

    Excellent art and music (the game is a work of art), the puzzles are very interesting in the beginning and quite (but not very) interesting in the second half of the game. I actually though that the game will go more in the direction of violence and philosophy/psychology (e.g. seeing another character walk into a pool and die, just to bounce over his dead body that's the strongest moment…

    Limbo is a puzzle platformer where you play as this boy searching for his little sister
    The entire game aside from a few exceptions is black and white, this makes for some really great moments in the beginning of limbo as its hard to tell whats a trap or enemy and what isn’t..
    this keeps you on your toes and suspicious of everything…
    These initial moments of this little less than 4 hour journey for me was my favorite..
    The game is very much a game of trial and error, and the game is generous with its checkpoints being nearly instantaneous.. knowing where youre going to mess up and most of the time having an instant spot for you to try again keeping this games momentum steady…
    After these initial moments of dealing with traps and a giant spider, the game slowly starts to be more puzzle focused and this is where I started to fall out of love with this game…
    Not that the puzzles are bad, im just not a huge fan of problem solving while im platforming and looking out for suspicious shadows..
    Youll be pulling boxes, throwing switches, and timing jumps and other buttons to progress through the game..
    I found a lot of these puzzles to be decently challenging, though none too complicated or having too many steps… but a few definitely did come close… and I may or may not have had to look the answer up for a couple..
    with so many limbo clones out there now, going back to play limbo and playing through these puzzles is a bit of a drag because ive seen them so many times now…
    I would’ve preferred if the whole game was like the first few chapters of deception…
    I felt there was something really special there. It kept me hooked and intrigued hoping for more moments like this later on, but sadly they never came
    Personal preferences aside, limbo is a very erie and dark game, youll die gruesome deaths,
    the game will disturb you and turn your stomach at times…
    and it will get your mind going…
    both for the puzzles and trying to figure out just exactly whats going on with the story…
    even with the dozens of clones out there, limbo stands out as something special and unique..
    one of the most enjoyable and unsettling puzzle platforming games ive played

    Very nice. I played the game twice - on Mac and Android tablet (Nexus 7). Very cool puzzles + secrets! And my "favorite" character - the spider((( the only bad thing about this game is - it's pretty short. I would spend much more time playing it!

    Everything about this game is damn near perfection, but it drags come the concrete half. It was entirely too mechanical and disengaging, failing to communicate whether or not there's a relevance as to why it shifted at all. It oughta' have benefited attacking emotion all the way through.

    A stark, sinister puzzle platformer that is monochromatic both visually and tonally.

    Pros:
    - Charming visual style that strikingly utilizes lighting to create an unwavering melancholy atmosphere. Although the aesthetic is certainly simplistic, the game is short enough to not overstay its welcome.
    - Interesting puzzles that test logic rather than mastery of game mechanics, particularly in the first half of the game. This is a welcome departure from most puzzle games today and the pacing is incredibly tight in the first 2 hours or so. I cannot emphasize how much fun I had with the game during these parts and my score is much higher due to this.
    - Interesting piece of visual storytelling that while not exactly mindblowing, invites a wealth of theories and guesswork that adds to the mystique and aura of the game.

    Cons:
    - Later puzzles are less interesting than the earlier ones, though significantly more difficult. This leads to the game feeling like its actually slowing down, which is detrimental for an adventure/puzzle game. Despite this, they never got too frustrating or repetitive. The second half just simply pales in comparison to its far superior first half.
    - Many things in this game simply move too slowly. Although I understand that the slow movement facilitates the mood and tone of Limbo, retrying puzzles can feel like a pain when you have to wait for an elevator to slowly rise or watching your character inch a block across the floor once again. If the puzzles were easier this would've been less of an issue, or maybe I'm just dumb, but some of the sections took me several tries and having to amble back through the level repeatedly got old fast.

    Final Statement:
    - Despite the noticeably worse pacing and less original puzzles in its second half, Limbo is a stylish, aesthetic experience that will absolutely captivate you for a few hours.

    A great and punishing puzzle platformer. The setting's on the darker side, which won't be everyone's cup of tea, but the atmosphere does pull you in. There is some exploration available if you're into that. A bit short like the others say and there isn't really a story, but it's still a nice experience nonetheless. Overall, a sweet and simple platformer.

    Really love the one-dimensional aspect and black and white graphics in this game. Has quite a relaxing charm despite the traps that you encounter along the way. A great way to while away an hour or two. Only downside is the replayability, once you've completed it, that's it - each new game is the same. Simple but fun!

    Limbo is awesome little game that is best to be finished in one go. I don't mind the game being short it's better than artificially bloated games that lose their charm half way through. The only flaw for me is a very low difficulty.

    Late review :)

    My experience: I played Limbo for a bit everyday and i liked it It could be a bit frustrating at some points because you die a lot So at some points it's not really solving a puzzle but dying until you get the right timing. Despite the sometimes frustrating deaths, the game has a lot of good puzzles! Also the art-style is lovely, it's really dark and simple but yet    Late review :)

    Despite the sometimes frustrating deaths, the game has a lot of good puzzles!
    Also the art-style is lovely, it's really dark and simple but yet so beautiful and deep.

    (There's also no option to change your key-binding, so you'll be playing with the good-old arrow keys)

    Story:
    There isn't really a proper story, you just get thrown into the game.
    From what i can make out of it: You're a boy that's searching for his girlfriend (or sister) in this horrific world called the Limbo.

    Conclusion:
    If you love good puzzle games with a darkish art-style and can handle cheap deaths without destroying your keyboard
    This will be the perfect game for you!    … Expand

    This game creats such a creepy atmosphere that took my breath away back in 2011. How does it hold up in 2020? Still pretty damn good. There is a minimalist style to the art. The story is ambiguous if you can even call it a story really. But overall this game still holds up. Its quite short but its really polished. Even today you wont see anything quite like this.

The audio and visuals are good enough and the puzzles can get pretty tricky towards the end. If you go in with reasonable expectations, you will have a fun time.

    Я забыл про игру.
    Но, как то узнал, что её портировали на андроид. Сидя на работе, во время перерыва, от нечего делать, установил, запустил, и очнулся, только когда меня мастер по всему цеху искать начал! Перерыв закончился, час назад!
    Это мистика какая то! Как игра, которая вызывала отторжение на "большом" экране, оказалась на столько великолепной на экране в 6" и, как говорят, "корявым" экранным управлением? Чудо!
    И вдруг я понял. В этом то всё и дело. Игра, я так думаю, изначально планировалась для портативной платформы (может для PSP, так как смартфоны, времени выхода игры, её вряд ли потянули, хотя iPhone или iPad......????? кто знает), а её, зачем то, выпустили на "полном метре"!
    Схожее ощущение было у меня относительно LittleBigPlanet, вторую часть которой, я прошел на PSP, и она мне очень понравилась. Когда же купил LittleBigPlanet 3 на PS3, то не смог в неё играть, до того она мне показалась кривой, не красивой и неинтересной! К сожалению, у меня нет PSVita, что бы там её попробовать.

    Graficamente il gioco è curato e originale, ma a volte rende non immediata la comprensione degli ambienti. L'audio invece è quasi assente, serve solo da sottofondo.

    A livello di gameplay invece si ha di fronte un puzzle game a scorrimento orizzontale in cui potremo soltanto muoverci, saltare e trascinare oggetti, ma questo basta per realizzare enigmi ambientali davvero complessi ed interessanti.

    Rispetto ad Inside però qui non c'è una trama (per quanto anche in Inside questa sia criptica) e inoltre in Limbo ho trovato alcune parti quasi frustranti a causa della necessità di più tentativi per essere comprese, mentre in Inside magari si muore ma si sa cosa fare.

    Consigliato per la brevità ma se volete provare solo un gioco di questo genere andate su Inside (migliore anche stilisticamente a mio avviso).

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think the thing that stands out the most in the game and will be the most memorable is the atmosphere of the game. the fact that it's only black and white and mainly has ambiance as music make for a rather dark experience, especially since you're playing as a little boy. The death scenes are intense, really adding to the dark atmosphere.
    This is all fine and good. However, at the end, I kinda got the feeling that whole atmosphere got destroyed under the many trial and error moments that you will be confronted with. It's a shame, because a lot could have been done with the ending, but the fact that you just see your self dying so much during the last few levels kind of ruin the experience.
    Now, dying is a part of the game's atmosphere, so at the beginning of the game, if you don't watch out or haven't played it thorough already once, they kinda make you die, but in a way, that you know what to do afterwards. The fact that the game was so fluid that way made the experience perfect. I just got the feeling that just got kind of dumped towards the end.
    Another thing is that it could have used a little more music. Now I know it's part of the games atmosphere that it doesn't have any at parts, which is alright, but it just feels kind of....empty during puzzle sequences (which them selves are really good ad at times require some logical thinking.
    And know I keep repeating the word "atmosphere" a lot, but really, that's just what the game is based on.

    Don't get me wrong. It's a fantastic experience and if you loved the game during the first few chapters, you will forgive the mistakes during the end.    … Expand

The game keeps hinting at a narrative -- that the game's making some type of commentary on... something. It seems to really be trying at some points, but at the end, nothing really makes sense. Nothing is explained, and there's not enough of a coherent story to make interesting theories on like in Braid. After finishing, I ended up scouring Internet forums looking for someone to enlighten me. Instead, I found some of the most frustrating nonsensical drivel I've yet read. It was confirmed to me that while LIMBO's creators made some attempt at a narrative, there was nothing substantive.

    Seriously, I'm not OCD, but the game's lack of a story rips a huge hole in an otherwise brilliant indie game. But.... with most games pretending even harder to have a story and failing equally hard at six times the price, I can't give LIMBO a bad rating. In the end, it's a great, enjoyable, rewarding puzzle game great for night-time play.    … Expand

    Many of the puzzles seem to expect the player to either be a masochist, or to not notice that they are pseudo-puzzles. By that I refer to the times when you are forced to die to see how the "puzzle" is done so you can proceed.

If it was all good quality puzzles, then the ratings would be appropriate - otherwise it is over-hyped and it isn't worth paying much for this. I was fortunate enough to get it for $2.50 on Steam, which I think was reasonable. But it isn't worth more than that.

    The core gameplay loop relies on dying to learn how to overcome it's obstacles, its not a bad design choice by any means, dying in Limbo can be part of the fun, generally, but it can get on your nerves eventually. The physics based puzzles are punishing when you encounter them for the first time, but they're satisfying nevertheless once you figure them out. Of what there is of the story, it's left mostly up to the player's interpretation, unless you're willing to find additional info on it outside of the game's environment. Still, it's enjoyable and drives you forward to see how it ends. Not gonna try to spoil it, but if you've played Inside before Limbo, like i did, Limbo's ending will feel very familiar. In my case, it left me wanting something just a bit more again.

La historia del juego se asimila a el clasico libro de Dante Alighieri *La Divina comedia* el cual cuenta sobre un hombre que viaja por el infierno en busca de su amada. En este caso es lo mismo, solo que nuestro protagonista es un niño, quien busca a su hermana en el extenso y espeso mundo de lo que se supone que es: La entrada al Inframundo.
    Los unicos colores que este juego posee son el Blanco, negro y gris. Y son usados de forma maravillosa, la jugabilidad es básica y simple a mas no poder, con solo 3 botones de uso (Salto, caminar y accionar cosas) y por su puesto, es bastante frío y crudo al momento de mostrar la violencia. ¿Personajes secundarios? Niños que se supone que son *almas en pena* alejados de toda moralidad y humanidad, Sacados directamente del libro *El señor de las moscas* de William Golding.
    Un punto vulnerable de esta joya, es su duración, el juego se puede pasar en 50 minutos o menos si se es muy cuidadoso. Pero en total es una experiencia única y recomiendo jugarlo.
    Limbo es un juego que no es para todos, no esperen explosiones, shooters o magia obvia y con rasgos de exageración... Pero si se busca un juego diferente, simple, sombrío, con un toque artistico y una historia fascinante. Entonces este titulo es para ustedes:

    Buenos escenarios, y temática. La ambientación es sobresaliente. El nivel de dificultad es el adecuado y los extras increíbles. Le falta música, contexto, historia y algo más de duración

    Стильно. Анимация и физика это лучшее что есть в игре. Головоломки здесь скорее на реакцию чем на подумать. Хоть игра и короткая, но всё ровно затянутая.
    7/10 за стиль.

    LIMBO is a 2D, black-and-white, physics-based mini-puzzle platformer that relies heavily on an eerie atmosphere and simple yet evolving puzzle mechanics, rather than stunning visuals or story-telling. The atmosphere worked really well for me, with the minimalist ambient music and sound effects complimenting it beautifully (though I wish the soundtrack was more pronounced).

However, the puzzles only got engaging more or less halfway through the game, the first half being closer to a walking simulator (which, in the case of a platformer essentially means keeping "right" pressed for prolonged amounts of time. Still, ultimately pretty enjoyable, with rewarding secret areas, and a nice final challenge in the form of an achievement to finish the game in one sitting with 5 or less deaths (which takes about an hour).… Expand

    It's always nice to try different games. This one of those games which you just give it a try and you like it.

    Incredible atmosphere and sound effects. Some puzzles are cool, some are somewhat cheaty-ish. I would give it a better rating if it were a bit longer and had some more variety.

    It is a really good game, challenging and, in my opinion, has a nice level design and visuals. But, where is the plot my dude?

    The Game is a Difficult Game, but an Adventure Game is Not Finished Yet People Are Going Crazy In Some Places

    Хорошее приключение на несколько часов, интересно наблюдать за миром, в котором происходит действие игры. Финал немного вгоняет в тоску.

    No entendi mucho el juego, es entretenido lo corto que es pero con una historia nula y sin sentido

    Непоганий платформер для паузи між серйозними тріпл еями. Вайб і звук розкішні, логічні задачки не складні.

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