Emos and Goths should rejoice! There's finally a game that even you can enjoy!
Limbo is a terrifying and stylistic side-scroller that will have you puzzle-solving and cringing throughout. Great puzzles, yet simple and creepy atmosphere make this game distinct and special.
The controls are simple to handle, making this simple enough for a child to master, even though children should not necessarily be playing this game. There are some terrific (I mean terrifying) and grotesque scenes of decapitations or impalements that are gruesome enough to make any adult squirm. Unless you feel your child is psychopathic enough, or has been introduced to the internet already, only then should a child be allowed to play.
What's off-putting is the cute vs. dark imagery. For instance, the main character is so lovable, with just two glowing eyes of a silhouette, which bobbles as he travels through impossible odds. By impossible odds we mean this cutesy character is going to die in odd, original, and not to mention very, (we stress) very gruesome fashion.
The scenery is simple yet fantastic. The character is literally running through a world of stasis and limbo. You may be running through forests, city tops, industries or sewers yet they are all tinged with the same dark, dank imposing shades of grey. It's beautiful and creepy all at the same time; a constant sense of oddness and unease. From the very beginning of waking up in a patch in the forest the story is unsettlingly disjointed from reality. The lack of story or comprehension adds to the artistic beauty and the sense of separation from understanding what is Limbo.
Again, the core of the game is a puzzle game, which is a constant battle. What the developers have succeeded in creating is a puzzle game that focuses on timing and fear. If you take just split second longer to jump, well you poor little dark silhouette buddy will be sawed into kibbles and bits. You got to find all the pieces to fit together and be precise in timing. But this constant dying makes the result of surviving in the end all the more satisfying.
So if you got nothing to do and feel slightly depressed about everything and desire a challenge, then we highly recommend downloading LIMBO. It might make you more depressed but it's worth it in the end. - screenedcommunity.weebly.com
