LIMBO Review (Xbox 360, PS3, PC)


Swit Swat

1,204 views

LIMBO is a strange game, let's just put it at that. It is an indie game created by a small independant indie company in the hopes of creating a simple, yet "memorable" indie/puzzler. LIMBO was first met with mostly positive reviews from sites like IGN, Metacritic, etc. Although they lie all the time, they actually didn't go wrong with this one. Let us

start this review.

Story: A young, unnamed boy travels through perilous environments in a supposed attempt to set his sister's fate right after going into "LIMBO." (Yes, I know, quite clever title they came up with...) That's pretty much the whole story in a nutshell.

 

 

Gameplay: Like I said, you control a young, unnamed boy. The game is set-up in a flashback kind of way, so the entire game is black and white, giving it a unique perspective of the danger and "terror" that you are faced with. You must help the boy overcome obstacles and solve deadly puzzles using just your hands and feet... and other stuff you might find along the way. All in order to "save" his sister.

The boy being chased by big-ass spider... I know... So much wtf.

 

 

Good/Bad? - The game overall is an excellent example of an underrated indie game that manages to grab our attention with great puzzles, unique environment and

level design, and addiciting gameplay. Probably the only flaw here is being too dumb to figure out the puzzles and rage quit... (I doubt anyone is that dumb, though).

 

 

Worth the Price? - It's like 10 bucks. It is a great indie game and one of those games that should really get a bit more attention. 10 bucks is worth the price.

 

 

Final Score: It all comes down to the final score, which is: 8.7.

 

 

I hope you enjoyed this review of LIMBO and check back for more reviews coming soon.
