Limbo has the most distinctive graphics I’ve seen in a game. It’s a beautiful, amazing game to look at. As you can see from the screen shot, it’s incredibly minimalistic. The puzzles (in the demo, at least) are similarly reductionist. At most of the obstacles in the demo, my first thought was usually, “how in the world am I going to get past this?” There is seemingly so little to work with, with the only buttons being jump and interact. The boy that you control can’t jump very high or run very fast, so he he seems vulnerable and relatively helpless.
I enjoyed the demo and figuring out the puzzles in it. As I mentioned, the game is very impressive and unique visually. However, I don’t plan on buying it anytime soon. Puzzle games are not my favorite, and the game’s pace much slower than what I want right now. My tastes change all of the time, but I’m currently playing Transformers: War for Cybertron, and I can’t pull myself away from the game to place Limbo at this point. But I can definitely see myself playing through it at some point in the future.
