Limbo PC Review



What's black and white background with a boy passing through scary forest having a lot of hurdles? Its limbo.
To start off Limbo is an incredible puzzle platform game. You play as a boy who just wakes up in scary forest, who goes searching for something or escapes from the forest. Well, i don't know. I am betting he too doesn't know. Ha ha LOL 

So as you progress you face many hurdles in the form of puzzles. There are easy at first and become increasingly difficult as you reach the end of the game. There are 39 chapters and 1 bonus chapter if you collect all the hidden trophies. I know what you must be thinking. How can i find things in the dark? Well i don't want to spoil the surprise. Play and see !! :D
Its a dangerous world out there
Puzzles get frustrating enough sometimes. Also he becomes difficult to control. Some puzzle are deadly; some are easy enough. 
Some Frustrating puzzles
The visuals are great and depict its night time. To instill horror the sound quality just adds spice to the game. 


Spiders are dumbest of them all. Had fun killing them.
The game starts the boy wandering through the forest. The game's biggest drawback is it doesn't explain as why this is happening. Also the game ends abruptly showing a girl doing something. 

The game is short(4.5 hrs). some puzzles hardly take a minute. BUT again Limbo is an incredible game. Short,crisp, original and consistently brilliant. Though it is short the lasting appeal it leaves is incredible. I heard there is gonna be a sequel. Can't wait....

My rating is 8.5....

+ Black and white visuals   - short (4.5 hrs)
+ Great sound                     - no story
+ Good puzzles                    - becomes frustrating sometimes
+ I think he is cute :P
+ Original
