This game is amazing. There is no other way to describe it besides amazing. I think the game may be fun for other players, but there is a certain audience it was aimed for, and I think I fall under that audience. The game is extremely artistic and dark. That is exactly what I love about it. Since I paint pictures almost exactly like this game it almost looked like my paintings coming to life.

Gameplay: You will only have two buttons you will really use. Jump, and action button. Action button pulls objects, flips switches, and climbs. Though the game is a puzzle game where there will be many times where you need to look at your surroundings carefully to find the answers.

Music: The game has very little music. That is what makes it good, yet odd at the same time. Sometimes the music will jump in for about five seconds, but will disappear again. This is a game where you want the volume up fairly high so you can hear everything.

Sound: The sound is great. You hear the sounds of flies, gears moving, the sound of a spider impaling you, stepping on tin roof, or just the sound of rain. All of the sounds are great.

Good: Tons of fun! Great puzzles! Absorbing world with a great art direction! Great sound effects. Though it is short, its replay value isn't low. Insanely addictive.

Bad: A bit pricy. Short.

Overall: LIMBO is one of the greatest arcade games out there next to Braid. If anything LIMBO is one of the arcade games that should be remembered for years to come. A must buy!

Note: I would naturally give LIMBO a 9.2 or a 9.3 but gamespot doesn't have that option.
