Life or Death?

User Rating: 9 | LIMBO X360
Limbo is a state between life and death, which is kind of what this game is. Or you could just call it trial by death because you try something, you die, you try something else. The game is just a 2d sidescrolling platformer where the only thing you can do is jump, hang on stuff, and push/pull things. The puzzles are well put together and most are quite easy to do, but hard to figure out. Some of the puzzles near the end are more mechanical and get to become really clever. The game basically just puts you in the middle of i dont even know, looks sort of like a forest, and you have no idea what you are trying to do. The game gives you a eerie sort of feeling with its black and white world where things arent too clear, and is sometimes very artful. In my opinion is a superb game and worth the money spent on it. The only problem i had is having to use the analog stick instead of using the dpad.
