Minimalist nightmare

You play a little boy who wakes up in the woods and henceforth obey your commands. We know nothing about him or about his surroundings. Where we run at all and why? Limbo are no answers. It invites rather a to interpret, with the title provides the only clue.
In addition to the minimalist look and the music is used spartan (usually there is only the sound effects), but if it starts then, then you can almost taste it! Either you feel a short relief, or simply "oh oh what now is" a certain kind of restlessness. Here people were at work who know their craft!

Our protagonist is running), climbing, jumping, lianas (chains ...) swing, things pulling or pushing and switch / press buttons.
Not much, but more one does not need to solve the tricky part, but never unsolvable riddle. No mystery is the same and you look forward to, especially when playing first, on the solution of each individual. In Limbo death comes quickly, but the game is incredibly fair. The checkpoints are always close to a mystery, so you can immediately start again if you died. Is automatically saved, but Limbo lifts this system to an unprecedented level.
Topic dying: It has no Lebensbegränzung but also no life bar, because you will be dismembered literally in almost every case. So a tip to parents: Limbo Although graphically minimalistic, but the film genre, a surreal horror, so it comes with the death of our hero to not squeamish. If he, for example, comes into contact with circular saw, so his blood squirts just so and his arms (head ...) fly through the air. Since everything is nunmal S / W, the blood black and the boy's otherwise white shining eyes will lose their luster, however, remains the big picture. This limbo is not a real child's play - with 16 in my opinion is a bit too high.

In brief overview of the advantages and disadvantages:

+ Great graphics
+ Excellent sound
+ Unglaubllich dense atmosphere
+ Great puzzles which are never unfair
+ Vorblidliches storage system
+ Nonexistent story that invites you to interpret
+ With this version finally also a physical game with extras

- Something short - After about 4 hours puzzle masterminds will probably be through. However, there have 4 hours in itself;)

CONCLUSION

One word: Buy!
