Trapped in a dark mysterious world with your sister missing, move through each level and solve whatever treacherous puzzles that lie in wait for you.
Review
| 9 | Limbo, from independent Danish developer Playdead, is a unique puzzle platformer for Xbox Live Arcade. The game's use of a simplistic, black and white art style, and ambient sound design help create a surprisingly eerie, bleak atmosphere that compels the player to move forward. Coupled with a mysterious premise that largely lets you draw your own conclusions, the world of Limbo is never a dull one. Unfortunately, some of the magic fades by the end, mainly because the emphasis shifts to pure puzzle solving as opposed to the atmosphere. That being said, Limbo's puzzles are by no means a weak point. They are filled with incredible variety - you'll never see the same mechanic rehashed. Overall, Limbo is a great package. » Read the full review |
