The creep factor is spiders and other things in this gameAlthough as far as i see from the game their isn't any blood in the game(maybe due to the black and white ground) this game is where it stands. While the game is challenging their is many deaths that are not lego type of deaths from this game like drowning, crushed, impaled, traps that kill the player in gruesome way or attacked by other ones like your main character you play. You will be surprised by its innocuous beauty.I have played a bit of this game the first thing i thought was T for teen and it only has 2 citations from esrb how bad can it be. It allows you to get back in touch innocence and curiosity, while in a dark world. The story isn’t needed because you feel the game the whole way through. The game is distressing, full of hope, it makes your breath quicken from anxiety, soar with triumph and expel breath in frustration. There’s no background, no initiation at the start and the ending, well I’ll let you find that out what happens. One thing that I’ve struggle to quantify is the story and the main reason for this is because there isn’t a story. Through this, the game loses a little bit of its draw but the end is more than worth it. You’ll move from the forest containing spiders and kids hurling things at you into a city and factory scape. There is a small disconnect around about halfway through the game. Yes I stayed up well past the time I should have gone to bed and it was worth it. I also didn’t want to leave this game until it had been finished. You might find yourself asking “Are you serious, I have to do that!” or “How the hell do I get past this!”. Leverage seems to be the key element throughout the game.Īs you’re running through the levels, you’ll come across: bear traps, giant spiders, other kids who try to kill you in a lot of devious ways, water-based obstacles, boulders and flaming tyres! A lot of the traps are also sequenced-based, so you start one and then you’ll need to complete another bunch of tasks before you get past it. Strength (apart from willpower) isn’t employed. You use smarts and leverage to get past the obstacles. Something else that has also been captured is the fragility of what it is to be a kid. The way his eyes light up and the way he moves gives you the impression he’s too innocent to be here. Nothing feels familiar, and it has a foreboding quality. The game begins when you wake up in a dark forest. So you can’t knock the difficulty down a level and get through certain bits. There are no difficulty settings as well. It’s obvious I know, but it gets a lot harder as you progress. You keep dying until you figure out how to get past certain sections. The developers called progressing through the game “Trial and Death”. The game’s movement mechanics are basic: forward, back, up, down, jump and an also a key to hold and move things. Limbo is a side-scrolling, dark-themed, easy-to-play but hard-to-complete puzzle-styled game. If they were good and pious people, the question that was put to the Roman Catholic Church was “Where did they go?” They went into LIMBO. Limbo came about because the folk in the middle ages wanted to know what happened to un-baptised children and grown-ups after they died. It’s a place where you are not quite in heaven and not quite in hell. I think the meaning of Limbo is also key here, Limbo is a Latin word (Lat., “limbus”, boundary or edge, as in edge of Hell). Limbo is also a duality of haunting and dark game-play, that also draws you in to find out what the deeper meaning is behind the game. It’s a similar feeling when you finish a great T.V series as it takes a while to move on. It’s a rolling “What should I do with my life now” feeling. It’s a rare event to be left feeling empty and directionless after finishing a game.
