Lovely game, is very short, but really good.

I got scared and jump scared a couple of times, which is always great. The puzzles were difficult enough to think them, but not enough to be non sense.

I liked the art style and the beginning stages of the game creeped me out (first time spiders have ever scared me). The puzzles were fun to solve, even if sometimes by accident. It was a quick game, but good for what it was.

Enjoyed the game a lot, played in 2 sittings. I really want to hold a button to run and that was not necessary

enter image description here I didn't realize this because if you make something "private" and keep it as a draft, it counts when you started writing it as its publish date, but whatever. I wrote and finished a review of LIMBO the past few weeks, so here you go.

I played this on my ps vita during my vacation and I just couldn't put it down. I love this game, I love the atmosphere, the puzzles and the game doesn't become dull or anything. It's challenging and yet fair. You should definitely play this one!

oh yeah now I remember why I never finished this game years ago

because of the INCANDESCENT RAGE

(don't get me wrong, it's a very pretty game and I'm gonna beat it, I just might lose my mind in the process because I'm so incredibly bad at anything that requires precision. this was not a smart choice when I wanted …

Interesting, catchy, cute 2d adventure puzzle game.

Atmosphere is good. But puzzles could be little harder.

Nice little game. Possible to play with background noise which is a plus for me. Tough puzzles but mostly solvable; had to look 2 things up. Suuuuper dark, and I dig the ambience and style, but I don’t think I liked watching that little kid die over and over and over in terrible grisly ways—would rather have been a robot …

Suuuuper dark, and I dig the ambience and style, but I don’t think I liked watching that little kid die over and over and over in terrible grisly ways—would rather have been a robot or at least an adult. But I guess that uneasiness is part of what the devs were after so it worked, but it’s noy really for me.

Started Limbo a while back but got deterred do to all the instant death. Then I finally realized that most of the puzzles require you to try and fail to learn how to solve them.

Started Limbo a while back but got deterred do to all the instant death. Then I finally realized that most of the puzzles require you to try and fail to learn how to solve them. Ultimately I am glad I stuck with it as the puzzles are fun. I haven't yet decided if I like the endless level aspect. Sometimes I wish there was a break in the game to let me process all that has happened.

Got through a good portion of it but never finished it which is why I haven't given it a rating yet... I plan on finishing it. It's on the list.
