One of those games that I, ever since its release back in 2010, thought "I need to play that sometime!" about. It only took some 13-14 years (time is not real).

It feels like this was one of the Iconic Indie Games of that era and that i saw sceenshots of it everywhere, and it has (had?) very unique and quite beautiful graphics, so it's no wonder people talked about it. The indie scene wasn't as big as it is now and there weren't really a lot of games that looked like this. I appreciate this game for what it brought to the table in 2010, and I had a good time with it :) I just think that it would impress me more if i played it when it was new, since the uniqueness of Limbo doesn't feel quite as unique in 2024. Which is fine! The graphics are still as beautiful now as back then.
But I do think that the gameplay and puzzles, while fun enough, are just okay, and the "atmospheric silent storytelling" of this type has been done so often now that it doesn't really create the Wow factor that it might have done back in the day (I'm sorry Limbo! I know you were one of the first!).

But yeah definitely give it a try if you're curious about it! I'm glad I did, it was nice to finally play this piece of Indie Video Game History (TM). It has beautiful graphics and some fun puzzles (and spiders!). Grab it at a sale sometime if you feel like it! :^D





(the spider should have been in more parts of the game)
