LIMBO : THE BLACK AND WHITE GAME FOR VIBRANT BRAINS

LIMBO:THE EDGE OF THE HELL

Videogames are an art form made up of visuals, sound, and a mysterious little something we call gameplay. Limbo is the perfect example of these three crafts working together in harmony to create something astounding. With no text, no dialogue, and no explanation, it manages to communicate circumstance and causality to the player more simply than most games. This 2D puzzle platformer in a film noir style is one of the best games you'll play this year on any platform. 

LIMBO tells the timeless tale of a boy trying to find his lost sister, only with more decapitations, brain-eating slugs, gigantic spiders and hair-trigger traps than you can shake a severed limb at.

You control a young boy who wakes up in a forest with no indication of who you are, how you got there, or where you're going. You set out to explore this bizarre environment but soon find it to be a dangerous place, at which point your motivation becomes clear: you need to get the hell out of there. No cut scenes or loading screens will interrupt the action, making it easy to be swept away in Limbo's disturbing world. From beginning to end, the game never stops surprising, delighting, and horrifying the player. 

CLOSING COMMENTS

Limbo is an incredible achievement. Very few games are as original, atmospheric, and consistently brilliant as Limbo. It belongs in everybody's collection. The journey may be over too quickly, but you will be entertained every minute. This is one of my favorite games ever.
