When I first saw gameplay from Limbo I had mixed feelings. I thought it looked amazingly unique but I wondered if I wanted to spend 10's of hours in this dark creepy world. Once I started playing I was instantly transfixed though. The game has such a different vibe than 99% of the games out there, nothing but the sound of you running through boards in some spots. I quickly find myself rooting for the main character who is going through all this craziness to get somewhere but where are we going?

There's lots of situations you'll slam your head trying to figure out but don't worry you can find the answers to all of them on youtube as you know. Highly recommend the surreal experience of Limbo.
