LIMBO

Played the game a few years ago and finally decided to come back and get the last achievement recently. The first run may take a few hours and experienced players can finish within a hour. Overall a good indie and recommended to play.
To complete the game in one sitting with no more than 5 deaths is not easy but very doable after some practice. It’s essential to know how to solve each puzzle quickly and save death counts for those areas require accurate timings. Using chapter select to practise difficult areas can be very helpful.

It's not a “puzzle platformer". It's a "find new hilarious ways to die simulator".
This game is absolutely one of the most beautiful video games I have ever played. It even inspired me to write a horror story, starring my ex wife! It is true that this game looks violent, but the art style gives it an attribute of ‘dying beauty', something very beautiful, mystic and inspiring that leaves you wanting more while vanishing in an abyss of no return. A subtle, eerie plot with music that is unique. Limbo was absolutely something else back when it came out.
The gameplay is not that innovative these days, but the incredibly eerie atmosphere it creates using its monotone art style and impeccable sound design is some of the best I've seen. The character controls extremely well and his range of actions is simple but engaging. Jumps, ledge grabbing, it was all very fluid. Couple that with some of the most clever puzzles of any side scroller and I'd say the gameplay was very much up to the level of the atmosphere. Though short, I personally loved the game. It helped that I played it in the dark, really helps with the mood.
I really liked the puzzles. They felt like they were carefully guiding you toward the solutions. And none of them were really difficult so I rarely had to stop in the middle of a puzzle when I couldn't solve it, which I appreciate as an adult with little free time to play. Mechanically speaking, the best physics puzzles I've ever seen. As anyone who's ever used the Gravity Gun can tell you, physics engines tend to be wonky. There's zero leeway or wonkiness in Limbo's puzzles. Every solution feels perfect and deterministic. Very simplistic as well, which is something that is actually pretty rare these days. No instructions, just fluid exploration of a dark world.
The reason the game was so popular, and still is to this day, is that like many really popular indie games they do so much with so little. Throughout the story you are never told where you are, your name, your motivation(other than to survive), virtually no conext is given to your surroudings. BUT you still feel connected to this little boy. A sense of wanting to survive. Sometimes it's what we are NOT told that interests us more than what we are told.
10/10

Limbo is a fantastic puzzle-platformer with a dark, eerie atmosphere that pulls you in right from the start. The puzzles are well-designed, challenging, and satisfying to solve. The minimalist graphics and haunting sound design perfectly complement the game’s tone, making it a unique and immersive experience. A must-play for fans of the genre. 9/10.

Fellow indie games enjoyers, THIS GAME IS DEFINITELY FOR YOU ALL. Gotta give credit to Playdead for making game that still holds up after more than 10 years and one might argue this game still beats plenty of other games, be it 3A or not.
LIMBO offers a creepy and eerie vibe that gives u goosebump as u enter it's LIMBO (no pun intended). From giant spider and ruins and deathtraps. The puzzles in this game isn't really something one might say easy either, u have to apply more logic to it at time which what make it fun as it isn't too diffcult either, u just have to be focused while playing it.
The gameplay is so simple that you only need 5 keys(i am not kidding) to play it and yet it feels immersive with the smooth animation or the boy moving around and jumping and doing things that probably isn't possible IRL.
Definitely a 10/10. Especially when you are an indie game enjoyers like me.

The game’s great, I’m just stupid
Having played INSIDE before, I decided to give Limbo a try despite knowing how frustrating it’s going to be, and I unsurprisingly found myself tugging my hair each time I missed a jump only by a split-second or got insta-killed by an unpredictable environmental hazard. However, dying is part of Limbo’s charm in addition to its brain-melting, physics-based puzzles that require dexterity, logical problem solving skills, perfect timing and a holy amount of trial and error which can be frustrating to idiots like me.
It’s funny how I can play Outlast without batting an eyelid but I was utterly shocked by the brutal deaths in this gloomy 2D puzzle platformer - perhaps because you’re often blessed with the gruesome sight of the boy’s rag doll corpse flying around when you’d least expect it. Much like every other aspect of the game varying from the simple controls and minimal story-telling to its short length, the B&W graphics are also very simplistic yet so eerily pretty, as if conveying the message that sometimes ”less is more”.
I would’ve hoped for a clearer insight into Limbo’s fascinating world as well as a more forgiving approach to the timed puzzles like in its follower INSIDE, but this surely is a thrilling experience for those who love a bit of horror-ish puzzling and cursing. I know, I’m sorry, Mom.

8/10

A short nice game, with some cool puzzles to solve.
The monochromatic visuals become eyegasm at some point :D
Also ffs, now I am supposed to do the last achievement, by completing the game with less than 6 deaths :sob:
