    LIMBO


    Please tell me someone has played this game. I think it's my favorite puzzle game of all time (I don't play many puzzle games). I bought it on PSN and it's definitely worth the 10 bucks.

    The whole game is played in silhouette, so you really have to use your senses and pay attention to the shapes. In this video, I believe he edited the colors in, since the actual game is all black and white. of course, the puzzles get harder as you progress. It has a creepy yet mystical vibe, and the ending is unique because it leaves you to interpret it yourself.

    I'm going for the last 2 trophies which are the hardest.

    I give it a 9.5 out of 10

    I was thinking that since I'm artificially creating it, I'll create it with rocket fuel instead of blood, and thus it will be able to fly, using the dolphin's dorsal fins as wings. And from the air, it will look down upon us all and protect us against sharks, and search for bananas.

    Limbo is a beautiful game. Very heartrending too, at least in my interpretation of the events that happened at the end. ;; Probably one of the few games where I felt just AWFUL when the character I was controlling fell into a trap/got killed, because those deaths are pretty brutal.

    It's not long, but man, is it a good run while it lasts. ^^

    I downloaded the demo from XBL Arcade a while back, it's a remarkable game, could only play for a limited amount of time though. Completely forgot about it until a few days ago, thanks to your facebook update, now I've been wanting to play it again.

    Re: Limbo

    I watched what he played on Youtube. Is it really as short as it seemed, or was there more to it? It looks like a really good game from what I saw. I also loved his commentary, but that's just a side note. It really makes you think, especially at the end. Where could he have gone? Could the girl have disappeared? Who knows?

    Yeah, I really like his commentary. The game is pretty short, but it's just long enough for it's type imo. I read somewhere that it's only about 6 hours in length although, idk how accurate that is. There are a few theories on the game's ending, but I think it's pretty obvious what's going on once you take the time and examine little details in the game and consider the title.

    It's a good game, has very little replay value, mind. But it's visually unique and surprisingly graphic. I beat it in nearly two days, as it has a pretty natural flow from the puzzle to the solution. That's something that I find pretty rare. Portal 1 and 2 are the only other puzzle games that I clicked with like Limbo.

    Definitely worth it. Strange ending though.

    I loved the art style. Some parts where absolutely haunting. Very memorable game. I loved the ending too. Makes sense when you think about the title...
