Limbo

Limbo remains a brilliantly moody and expertly poised platform-puzzler a full eight years on from its original release. It might be a little stark, but it's dense with ingenious physics puzzles and weighty platforming challenges. It's the perfect cut-price companion piece to Inside, and a brilliant game in its own right.

Limbo is dark. It is creepy. It is unsettling. It is disturbing. It is also a very good puzzle-platforming game that you should absolutely play once.

I normally do not gravitate toward games with the grim atmosphere given off by Limbo, but I gave it a try because it's so widely-acclaimed. I am very glad I did.

I don't want to go into too much detail about the game, because it really is best experienced if you go into it without knowing anything at all. I'll say there is a story told without words, and it is quite dark. This is not a cheerful game with a happy ending. It is perfect for a rainy day, which is how I played it, and I loved it.

As I write this, it's on sale for $2. It's still a bargain at full price. Play it, and if you like it, follow it up with Inside, from the same publisher and also available on Nintendo Switch platforms.
