Leave a Review Playdead's LIMBO
It met my expectations, and then some...
I am a game developer myself and while I will acknowledge that some of the art and graphics of Limbo inspired some that in my first game “Rubberband Stan,” I never actually played Limbo. I read reviews about it saying that the controls were frustrating at times but I did not experience that. In fact, I felt the controls for the iOS mobile version were nearly flawless for what the game is. You could even use just one finger (or thumb) if you wanted to—though it’s easier to use two. I do expect that this game has a very narrow target market. Basically, if you enjoyed games like “Another World” (also called “Out of This World”) or perhaps the very first “Prince of Persia” on PC, then this game is for you!! There were certainly times that I felt “stuck” and I eventually “cheated” by watching bits of walkthrough videos, but it was at no fault of the developers of the game—I was really just too lazy and/or impatient to figure things out. Overall, Limbo was a great experience and exceeded my expectations, which were high to begin with!!!!Show lessMah Tee Ice
Don’t buy for iPhone!!
Downloaded this after playing Inside - which is great on iPhone. Limbo is beautiful, eerie and intriguing. But it’s really bad on an iPhone. As you get further into the game, you can’t make the character respond quickly or accurately enough with the touch screen. Won’t work with arrows on a Bluetooth keyboard either. I ended up deleting this app angry and frustrated after a week of killing the kid trying to make the same jump and having to go back to the start of a sequence only to kill him again in the exact same place because you can’t get him to make the jump in time. There are no cheats to skip ahead. Lovely game for a different device but deducting stars for this reason. Highly recommend Inside though.Show less090945
Limbo is lame
After playing (and completing) INSIDE I was stoked to check out this earlier title, but about 25% of the way through got annoyed at how technically difficult one of the challenges was and after about 50 attempts gave up.
INSIDE is more about using your mind to solve the problem, whereas LIMBO is about mastering ultra-precise feather-touches on the iPhone controls. Just isn’t the same kinda fun. Probably a much more rewarding experience on XBoxShow lessKevinDubro
Thanks for the update
I bought the game a lot years ago when I first got my iPad Air 2. But never got a chance to finish it. Yesterday, I received my new iPad Air 4. I found it in my purchased list so downloaded again. I got a little disappointed when I saw the game was not in full screen on my new device and the most recent update was three years ago... However, today’s new update is just on time. This time, I will sit down and enjoy the game.Show lessScoFang
Good game, bad controls
I really like the game but it is super annoying to play on the iPad. If I could go back in time I would have instead bought it on steam to play on my laptop. It is really really annoying when you are trying to do a fiddly bit and the controls just stop working. It happens all the time. I am using iPad Pro 12inches. I definitely do not recommend playing with that setup. But the game is really good apart from that. If there were better controls for the iPad this would have been 5 stars.Show lessEmilyDonovan
Does not work on iPad air 4
I played this on PC a long time ago and I loved it. I purchased this to play on my iPad air 4 but it simply doesn't get past the title screen, hope I get a refund for this.Smutluru
Developer Response
Hi there! Sorry that you experienced the crash issue on iPad Air 4. The game is now updated and doesn't crash anymore, so if you uninstalled it because it was crashing you can safely install it again. Cheers - PlaydeadGreat Game
Controls are a little frustrating at times but overall a great game. Fun and unique puzzles. Had my heart racing in some bits!Onley69
Excellent game
It's been five years since the first time I play LIMBO, It's just piece of art.オウウェイエン
Very 2 Dimensional game
It’s so good at the end but I also think the boy is possibly alive
Maybe he had to camp and when he slept all the campers besides
Him all others where captured by the spider (arachnid) and webbed into cocoons when he woke he saw not a single one
So he decided to go and search for them (this game is so so
2 dimensional thx for 2D! I love 2D games!)

Extremely challenging - too much
I played Playdead’s INSIDE which I found very challenging but in a good way - was able to beat it without any walkthroughs and the puzzles were tough but fair. LIMBO is weirdly difficult and not intuitive right from the start, and while I love the graphics, I’ve downloaded and deleted the game several times out of frustration with the extremely touchy controls (jumping is half of the way to survive the game and it only works half the time) and non-intuitive puzzles. I’d love a follow up to INSIDE, and wish this game scratched that itch.Show lessSarah Smash
