Limbo - JokesOnYouISuck's Review & Gameplay [Gamepass]
0Limbo isn't just a game; it's an enigmatic journey that immerses you in a world devoid of color and rife with sinister intent. It starts with a nameless, vulnerable boy awakening in a stark and eerie forest. The minimalist approach here is striking; there's no exposition, no dialogue, and no cutscenes. You're left to your own devices in a relentless and unforgiving realm.
This platformer is stripped down to the basics, its simplicity lending itself to the eerie atmosphere. Limbo's puzzles are the heart of the experience, ranging from ingenious to reflex-driven challenges. Some demand precise timing, while others are a dance of trial and error. Yet, the game's swift respawns and generous checkpoints mitigate the potential frustration.
The lack of clear explanations can confound, as solutions are often shrouded in obscurity and deaths are inevitable. This design choice, while deliberate, may polarize players seeking clarity. Still, with unlimited lives and thoughtful checkpoints, the game encourages perseverance, making it perfect for short, intense gaming sessions. Clocking in at around three hours, Limbo offers a concentrated, unforgettable experience.
However, the game's journey isn't without its twists. The initial tone of horror gradually transitions into intricate puzzles, marking a shift in gameplay dynamics. Unfortunately, the payoff doesn't quite match the build-up, resulting in an unsatisfying ending.
Visually, Limbo is both unsettling and breathtaking. It strikes a balance between the ominous and the beautiful, but unfortunately occasionally veering into the realm of gratuitous shock value with graphic imagery and gruesome deaths.
Limbo's brevity and limited replay value might deter some, but its impact is undeniable. The game lingers in your thoughts long after completion, an experience marked by its dark charm and evocative puzzles.
Overall, I give this game 87%
