Title: LIMBO
Post by: Beat on August 04, 2011, 12:10:22 AM
Limbo - Game Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1vexQzA9Vk#ws)

Originally released only for 360 back in 2010, last month for PS3 and two days ago it got released for PC!

I'm near finishing it and this game is beyond fucking awesome, if you don't stop reading this and go get it whether legally or illegally. I'll find you, and chop your balls off.

For PC dudes, its only 70mb.

My description:

Puzzle-noir game that takes place in the forest and urban/industrial like enviroments too. The game is one solid block from beginning to end.. no loadings or cutscenes, fairly smart and amazing puzzles. Now heres the insane part.. the animation/phsyics in this game is nothing you'd expect from a 2D game. They're superb. The sound effects and ambient music... will make you speechless. As well as the looks of the game and the screen effects are just really high quality and really amazing. Theres also 3D-like illumination, simply by playing you get the feeling you're seeing in depth of stuff.

OVERALL this game is a 10/10. Solid, golden and shiny 10/10.

Started playing yesterday, the animations are so realistic, looks like a damn movie, and you're playing the movie. The atmosphere is so well built, you can actually feel the tension of being in the character's position. The black and white color correction works perfectly with the atmosphere. Gotta love the little details of the game, suppose you're stuck and can't solve a puzzle and the solution is hidden somewhere, if you end up walking near it, look closely and the head of the character softly tilts towards it. So far so fucking good, I already consider this as one of my favorite games. Thanks for sharing, BeaT.

This is a really awesome game, downloaded it and played it through some weeks ago. It's really well made, the only thing I kind of missed was a little music. Though I can understand why they didn't have it, because the silence with the colors in this game fits. But personally I would have enjoyed it more with some darker tunes.

This is another evidence of the ingenuity of some independent developers. I always wanted it to get on PS3 (i was so jealous of xbox players) and yeah i finished it twice on PS3 two weeks ago. This game is just pure art, with that glaucous atmosphere and those colors (best use of black and white so far) which actually make you really feel in the character's situation. The animations are really well made and smooth, and some puzzles are fucking well thought (mostly at the end). This game is beautiful but i really need to know what's going on in it ? There is no storyline, nothing, just the game's description which says the character is trying to find his sister in that weird world. You don't even have any information about the character itself.
The only drawback is that the game is really short, 2 hours and it's done. It's too expensive for 2hours ...
But yeah, if you can, just get it!

(i'm glad to have shown you that game Sani and you liked it so much :3)

Been playing it a while today, damn didn't thought it'd be this innovative. I mean sure there's been jump and run's before, but this one is definetely unique. Love the riddles, though they're tough at times. Especially when something happens you just didn't expect.

I watched a few vids of this game but it didn't seem anything special to me, but since it has so many positive critices I might just try it  :P
