Limbo is a fantastic puzzle-platformer with a dark, eerie atmosphere that pulls you in right from the start. The puzzles are well-designed, challenging, and satisfying to solve. The minimalist graphics and haunting sound design perfectly complement the game’s tone, making it a unique and immersive experience. A must-play for fans of the genre. 9/10.

Played the game a few years ago and finally decided to come back and get the last achievement recently. The first run may take a few hours and experienced players can finish within a hour. Overall a good indie and recommended to play. To complete the game in one sitting with no more than 5 deaths is not easy but very doable after some practice. It’s essential to know how to solve each puzzle quickly and save death counts for those areas require accurate timings. Using chapter select to practise difficult areas can be very helpful.

Fellow indie games enjoyers, THIS GAME IS DEFINITELY FOR YOU ALL. Gotta give credit to Playdead for making game that still holds up after more than 10 years and one might argue this game still beats plenty of other games, be it 3A or not. LIMBO offers a creepy and eerie vibe that gives u goosebump as u enter it's LIMBO (no pun intended). From giant spider and ruins and deathtraps. The puzzles in this game isn't really something one might say easy either, u have to apply more logic to it at time which what make it fun as it isn't too diffcult either, u just have to be focused while playing it. The gameplay is so simple that you only need 5 keys(i am not kidding) to play it and yet it feels immersive with the smooth animation or the boy moving around and jumping and doing things that probably isn't possible IRL. Definitely a 10/10. Especially when you are an indie game enjoyers like me. PS: Credit to my friend for "Scamming" me to get the bundle during winter sales

Limbo is such a cool yet simple game, it's actually brilliant how fun and smart the puzzles are, I also love that it doesn't overstay its welcome, short and to the point with cool achievements, the No Point in Dying one also let's you put your skills and everything you learned along the way into practice, and considering the discounted price is basically less than a dollar this is more than worth your time.
