I'm not a big fan of puzzle platformers but I still completed Limbo (including the secret level), so that must say something about its quality. The game immediately throws you into the gameplay with little to no setup or instructions, which was kinda Unfortunately the game also has little to no story, aside from some very ambiguous narrative nuggets built into the game itself. Limbo excels in its bleak atmosphere, animation and puzzle design, which forces the player to die multiple times in order to learn the right way forward. The game controls really well and although a few of the puzzles stumped me, I was never dying due to unresponsive button inputs. Most of the checkpoints are pretty forgiving so it's never too frustrating, even as the difficulty increases throughout your journey through Limbo. Maybe it would have been more impactful if I played it upon release but even in 2022, Limbo is a solid game I'd recommend checking out.
