    I'm not normally a fan of platformers but this was a real good 'un. Stylish and really well executed.

    Beautiful art style, but the game is overrated.
    Beautifully succinct. It's a great set piece but that's all it is so this a good price to decide. I did complete it in one life and I think that and the prep I did for that made me realise that it's just a few alright puzzles dressed up in a nicely spooky outfit. Not bad, not briliant, worth experiencing. Anyone that does the one life thing (let alone the 5 allowed) is a **** - yes, that's me.

    I would agree, it is the art style that makes the game compelling to play, but it hardly adds anything new to 2D platforming with simplistic puzzle elements involving trial and error.

    Top game but hard as fu*k


    Not really, I completed the whole game in 3 hours and I'm rubbish at games o_O


    Try doing it without dying.




    But that's annoying :)

    Half the fun of the game is dying.


    Exactly, which is why trying not to die once through the whole game is no fun, plus you have to start again from the beginning.

    Compared to Spelunky this game is a cakewalk, i think i died like twice playing this but maybe i have a sixth sense...could tell when a trap was coming. (No tranny jokes..(_;))


    Spelunky, highly recommended and it's free! http://spelunkyworld.com/original.html and here's the graphic for grid view when you attach it to Steam :) http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=477211&page=12



    If you like going for achievements then you have to do it in something like 3 lifes. Challenging...


    Achievements don't really achieve anything despite the name. Sure they can be fun sometimes when they're amusing but getting them all and being a "completionist" seems like a waste of time. Am I missing something?
    Duelling Duck
    No. Achievements are the worst things to happen in gaming as they create false reason to play the game. Miyamoto is really against them but sadly the WiiU has them as an option. Google "Skinner box" if you want to know why people like them. They're basically monkeys pressing buttons for rewards. All that "Adding replay value" crap would be done intrinsically by a good game.

    first time i've played this game and I've realised that I am retarded. I think I need to get back into the groove and play more puzzle games as I've died so many times as it isn't always obvious what to do. Too bad that the game isn't native 1080p as it looks like **** but I'm suprised I quite enjoy this, too bad there aren't any acheivements. For the steam sale price it is very reasonable.

    Are there any other games similar to limbo?

    It's fun a return to the "old school" of gaming. Ok so it's not as technically brilliant as the next in the series of cloned "Battlefield Call of Honour" type games but it does make a pleasant change.

    Well worth the £1.74
