First of all I'd like to say that for a puzzle platformer, Limbo is asolid game. It's easy to pick up and play, the controls are simple, thephysics are great, and it's not terribly frustrating. It's selling pointhowever is supposedly the atmosphere that the game brings and themystery behind the meaning of it all. It's decent, not the best, butgreat for what it is. . .unless you've played other games like it.

Therewas a video on Youtube where in the comments people were talking abouttheories for the ending/non existing story for the game. The onlything i had to say was this;
My theory: he found his sister, theend. The only clues given about this game is the title and that thiskid has to find his sister. That's about it. sure there are thingsthroughout the various levels that you can speculate about, but gamesof this style have been done before & better (another world, braid,etc). As much as I would love to pull theories out of thin air, Idon't feel there's any reason with this game. it's not THAT engrossingas a whole, & seems kind of lazy comparatively speaking. *endcomment*


I guess the reason why I'm NOT ABSOLUTELY LOVINGTHIS GAME is because games like Another world and Braid were greatsimply because they were something different (and if you wanted a gameshrouded in obscurity and dripping with existentialism, there's alwaysPassage and Yume Nikki) They were stand alone games. This whole"guessing game" within games buried in silent mystery and artsy-nessseems to be a new genre emerging. I'm not sure that I like that idea ofthat so much. It's not that I don't like these types of games, in fact Ilove these games and games that make the player think and feel a senseof immersion, but I feel that it would give new developers an excuse tomake a poorer product. This game seems to be an example of that. Don'tget me wrong, it' still a decent game, and a lot of fun to play, but Ifeel they could have done more with it. It just doesn't have the samecharm as the other games.
Of course, if you haven't played thoseother games that I mentioned, then yes, this game will be one of themost amazing things you'll ever experience. It's short, worth a playthrough, and definitely worth checking out.
