Before I knew what Limbo was, I played a game called Miriam, which was horrible. When I saw the gameplay on youtube, I decided to give this one a try, and believe me, I wasn't dissappointed.
Despite there being no dialogues at all, you can easily grasp the storyline. Its about a seemingly little boy who enters Limbo, which seems to be an alternate version of our world, but filled with mysterious elements that possibly confuse or even chill you. At the end, the boy flies through the barrier which links both the worlds and finds the reason why he entered Limbo in the first place. His sister.
The most attractive thing I felt about the game is, the sounds that are so perfectly timed and vivid.
Being in black and white, obviously the game seems kid friendly. But believe me, it is not. It has got some really violent moments where you will see dismemberment and such stuff with the blood in black and white.
There are however, some really confusing moments throughout, and I had to check for solutions on Youtube. However, when you actually get the solution/ a way to the next level, you understand how visibly clever, the game is.
Do check this game out. It was an amazing experience for me, and worth the money too.
So, I rate Limbo, a much deserved: 8.1/10
