A bit off balance
Some may have issues with lack of story.
Somewhat short
Not much replay value beyond Achievements. Plot doesn’t really provide a definite
Satisfying conclusion. We know its cliched to say that screenshots don't do this game justice
But it static images truly don't convey the same sense of atmosphere or eeriness as the actual game itself. (That's why we put that video up at the top for you.)

Abstract: Limbo does a great deal with very little. Stark black-and white-visuals and a simple two-button control scheme ("action" and "jump") highlight the power a talented developer can wield by keeping things simple. While the game's story (and its abrupt end...
Black and white is the new colour. At first glance, Limbo could look like an old fashioned film, but there is no need to write off this arcade gem. We finally could have a game that comes knocking on the door of Braids crown for something unique. ...

For a game of this age, it still delivers on all levels, especially with the simplistic yet challenging gameplay and the gorgeous presentation and clever puzzles. Even though you are given very few details as far as plot is concerned you can't help but in...
Abstract: Available exclusively on the Xbox Live service, PlayDead Studio’s Limbo constitutes a hurricane, not breath, of fresh air as it rips through the often mediocre competition on Xbox 360, turning a lot of current videogame archetypes on their head....
Excellent physics, immersive atmosphere, amazing sound design, puzzles are ingenious
Somewhat short, not much replay value beyond Achievements, plot doesn't really provide a satisfying conclusion
LIMBO has been on our radar ever since we first got a glimpse of PlayDead Studio's strange, colourless world, and everytime we were given a demo or shown a new level, our interest grew. Now that the game is finally here, we're happy to see that it lives u...
Abstract: If you weren't scared of giant killer spiders before then you sure as hell will be now. Limbo is an Xbox Live Arcade Game from Playdead Studios. It’s an experience unlike anything else and it’s all the better for it. Limbo starts off with your charact...
