On Friday we took the evening off from painting to kick back and relax a little. About half an hour before bed time I bought LIMBO from Steam. In terms of money (€9.99) it was a bargain, in terms of sleep it was a very bad move.
LIMBO is the brainchild of Arnt Jensen, who conceived the game around 2004. It was not released until July 21, 2010, however, then as an exclusive title on Xbox Live Marketplace. It only recently made its way to the PS3 and PC platforms. In the game you play a nameless boy who has entered Limbo in search for his missing sister. You start the game in a forest, and as you solve the various puzzles, you move into a creepy urban setting where the puzzles get tougher, but not impossible. I’m really not that good at puzzle games, but only found myself stuck once.
