An absolute MASTERPIECE !!! The game is a must for the lovers of these slowly paced adventure games. I've enjoyed the Broken Sword saga, I've cursed in The Longest Jurney and I both laughed and cursed in Grim Fandango. But whereas in none of the above could I have managed without some tutorials, in LIMBO I've mostly made it on my own. It can be frustrating at times, but it's puzzles are absolute genius ! A fantastic little game indeed. Oh yeah... The ending could've used a little touch.
Reviews for LIMBO
Fun, beautiful, and intriguing, but only 4 stars because I wanted more story. This seems more like a concept pitch than a full game. The puzzles were adequately difficult and it was just the right amount of spooky. There are few mobile games made with such attention to detail. If you purchase this game, you will not regret it a bit!
Pretty good game. Good controls. I just didn't like the ending. !!SPOILER!!! game could've had more than just a big spider to run from! And you kill it halfway through so then it turns back into just puzzles. I liked the excitement having something chase after you but was sad when we didn't get something else by the end
Interesting puzzles set in an atmospheric and haunting environment. My biggest complaint is the weird physics that forces you to solve some puzzles in a very specific way. For instance, when you're affected by reverse gravity while running, your forward motion suddenly stops. It's jarring, and confusing. Aside from that, Limbo is a decent puzzle game.
Wanted to love it, the dark theme, the atmosphere, simple yet beautiful graphics... But the touch controls are extremely frustrating, I tried connecting my Xbox controller, it is supported but a slight latency is making it just as frustrating. I was looking forward to solving puzzles, instead I'm repeating the same level a dozen times because I die due to a lack of responsive controls. I think I got about half way through the game before leaving it alone, the puzzle weren't that clever, just OK
I normally dislike puzzle/escape room games but I really, really likes this one! Visually interesting in it's simplicity and the puzzles were challenging but solvable. I'll admit I needed a YouTube walkthrough on one or two but managed really well on my own for the majority of the game. The ending was a little anticlimactic but I was glad I made it!
First tried the demo on console and didn't feel like I got enough of a feel for the game. Thanks to Google Play Pass (which I got for free w/ Verizon), I was able to play the entire game for free in one sitting. I really hope the devs get a good cut from Google Play Pass because I really enjoyed my time with this game. A nice quick, but not too quick game that felt like an adventure. Not much of a story, but that's ok. Only had to use a guide for 2 spots. Very smooth controls for a mobile game.
I love the gameplay, the atmosphere, and the puzzles, but unfortunately the game is broken. Just after the puzzle where you have to move a trapdoor to obtain a balloon that fits under your little crate so it floats (Chapter 18?), there is a platform with a ladder and two levers. Interacting with the lever below the platform causes the game to immediately crash. It's a shame, because otherwise the game is really 5/5, but the game has to actually run for me to give it a good review.
Death comes in many forms as you guide the protagonist through creative intense gut clenching puzzles. As entertaining as it's first release years back. I own this game across many platforms and time and time again I try to figure out or remember the puzzles to keep our protagonist alive. Great buy for thinkers. Lacks any form of tutorial levels and leaves players to their own devices to figure out the many creative puzzles. Death is not the end but don't get stuck in Limbo.
Super fun game that challenges your expectations of what not only mobile games can be, but what games in general are. Many tropes of games are crushed, and the easy controls are deceptive as the game becomes challenging as you progress. The horror / puzzle combination is great, and there is an overwhelming sense of atmosphere. This isn't your average mobile game. No IAPs or ads. I recommend to anyone who sees this! I'd also like to thank the developers for such a good console to mobile port
