Limbo PC Game Review:

Limbo PC Game was a game that was created by Playdead (indie developer), and published by both Microsoft Studio for the Xbox 360 during mid 2010, and later released by Playdead for both the PSN and PC during 2011. To be frank, Limbo is a single-player, 2D side scrolling, and puzzle-platform game, which incorporates the idea of a nameless boy entering Limbo to save his sister from a certain tragic fate.

First Impressions

From the very moment you start up Limbo, there are hardly any options in the start menu. The start menu is comprised of; resume game, single player, load chapter, and settings, which does not give you the option to change your controls. Not being able to alter the controls is not bad at all; actually it is good, because it easily allows the player to get into the game without having to mess around with the controls, and all of the controls in Limbo are perfect.   Right after you get past the start menu screen, you are immediately in this very eerie, morbid environment where a young boy wakes up. The environment and setup immediately gives the player the vibe that there is something very wrong with the world of Limbo. Additionally, Limbo is very basic at first, because it gives you very simple puzzles to start with, such as jumping down cliff, but not jumping too far to break your neck, or simply moving objects to get to a higher elevation. Limbo itself is a game that won’t infuriate you because of its stiff controls, or its puzzles being too difficult, and the great visuals, and audio only add to the game.

Singleplayer

The plot for  Limbo PC Game  revolves around a nameless boy who awakens in the middle of the forest, who is trying to save his younger sister from fate. However, the game lacks details of why you are here, what you are doing, and what’s your purpose entirely. But, because of the lack of detail, the player wants to proceed through the levels to inquire what is going on this strange place. Throughout the single player, the game does have cut scenes to keep you entertained, but lacks real voice acting; however, the voice acting would have ruined the feel of the game. The cut-scene use a great deal of lightning to animate the water, and embellish the whole game with film grain effects. Additionally, the game only has one singe-player mode, no multiplayer, and only one difficult, which I believe is normal. However, the challenge that Limbo provides keeps you on the edge of your seat by making you go through obstacles, and different types of enemies. The enemies mostly consist of humans and spiders. The obstacles on the other hand consist of moving a box in order to jump over it to climb a ledge, or setting a trap for your enemy. The single player never becomes repetitive. The developers always seem to have something new up their sleeve, where sometimes you die because of a puzzle, or an obstacle, and then later formulate a plan on how to beat it. However, the game isn’t unfair, if something can kill you in this purgatory sort of environment, you can kill it, or stop it from working. Even if you die in this game during a puzzle, or by enemies, the game immediately spawns you right before the puzzle, and gives you another attempt to tackle it. The single player also gives the player a chance to get personal achievements by grabbing collectibles, and another playthrough; however, I couldn’t get any of these the first time I played, because I didn’t realize there were any achievements until I finished the game.

Final Thoughts

Limbo at first sight for me did not seem to be very fun, because I believed the puzzles were very easy, but after going through the levels, the danger becomes higher, and gives you a run for your money. Compared to many dlc’s I have actually purchased, such as Dead Nation, I find that Limbo is very much one of the best dlc games that you can buy on the market today. Limbo itself cannot be compared to other triple-A games, but this is a game that is worth playing twice, and it is worth buying for 9.99, when the length of the game is 5 hours.

Ratings

Graphics - Graphics are very solid, and very different from what I have seen before. It hands you film grain that you would see in a movie, but it isn't by any means innovative, or something triple A titles haven't done.

Sounds - I can't really say that there was any sound within Limbo to say that it deserves more than a 3. It does desere recognition for helping graphics, and gameplay make the game much more atmospheric

Gameplay - Gameplay in Limbo makes the game shine. It gives you puzzle that are sometimes seem difficult, but after dying a few times, and then realizing you hate seeing the gruesome deaths, you go out of your way to finish the puzzle Limbo PC Game.
