Leave a Review Playdead's LIMBO
Rip the mobile game made :(
This game is the definition of perfect. The story, perfect. The idea, perfect. Everything about this game, perfect. But we still all have a lot of questions. Lots. But the game isn’t as popular anymore sadly and doesn’t get any recognition anymore but it will stay with me and some og gamers out there. This game holds a special place in my heart. Not just mine, anyone who would play this would a have a special place for it. It’s that good. Anyway i highly recommend it for anyone who needs a good mobile game or just wants a nostalgic trip down memory lane.Show lessxxShadowSeekerxx
Limbo is a reference in gaming, deservedly!
I felt compelled you write this after seeing the first review of the App Store competing the similarities between “Limbo” and “Unravel”.
That’s clearly a review from a guy who for whatever reason played Unravel first. But let us be clear: Limbo isn’t “pushing Unravel further...” Limbo came out a full SIX years before Unravel!
Which isn’t to say you shouldn’t play either game. They’re both great. And Limbo *continues* to be great after so many others that copied its beautiful and poetic visual style, the waltz of the sweet and the darkly violent elements that will shock you by its beauty, and horrify you through its poetry. Because really, there’s nothing there that’s truly graphically obscene, and there’s more violence in PG movies these days, one might argue. But the violence and dark elements of Limbo are a triumph exactly because it manages to remain poetic and tame enough to have wide appeal , but to also shock and terrify through its poetry; the shadows of what is suggested more creepy and brutal than what one actually clearly sees.
And when you got that beauty and genre defining style in service of a very solid puzzler/platformer and story, you got yourself a treat you cannot miss.
So if you haven’t yet had the pleasure of experiencing Limbo, do yourself a favor and start right now! You’ll be glad you did!Show lessCamNYC78
Gruesome yet beautiful. Simple yet clever
With just a few simple touch controls this game offers simple yet challenging puzzles for the small boy in the game who is navigating a dangerous dark and mysterious world. They start simple, develop into multi-step problems and at times split second timing. If you can handle the gruesome deaths (including graphic audio) the small boy suffers each time he fails, then you’ll have fun.
Be patient working out the controls (it helps to watch the demo video in the App Store) and you may need to look further than you expect for solutions at times.
Wonderfully creative thinking by the designers/developers.Show lessIcelandicwarrior
There’s a Glitch in the Game
I recently purchased this game and have been enjoying it, but I’ve recently discovered a GLITCH in the game on my iPhone.
At the 19th Checkpoint while climbing to the top of a ladder, waiting for water to rise and bring with it a floating platform to jump onto, then use to jump to the opposite ledge...with the white thing on my character’s head that turns him into an almost zombie-like being...it barely moves to the right.
I can jump onto the platform, then it freezes up, and then moves to the left on its own, and my character drowns...every time.Show lessSullivan Magnum

Rubbish on iOS
Maybe I’m missing something, maybe I’m playing it wrong, or maybe this game needed more tweaks before being ported to iOS. The game is challenging and difficult at the best of times, but it’s made nearly impossible by the lack of actual controls. You randomly tap the screen to grab stuff, push stuff, pull the stuff, or jump; and you never know which one you’re going to get! Need to push something and then jump on it before getting sawed in half? Ha! Better luck next time.
Honestly, a virtual “action” button would have fixed this issue. As it is, it’s infuriating and really detracts from the atmosphere, puzzles and art - which are all superb...now if I could only grab onto this ledg- AAAAARGHHShow lessIs this one taken too?!
Perfect
I was first played with inside, which was a master masterpiece from every single angle, except I found that a little bit easier than this game. When I was played Inside, I always wanted more and more and I wanted the game a never ending story. This (Limbo) fantastic game filled that tiny gap I felt. There are some bits and pieces you have to make your brain work really hard to solve. But it’s not impossible, that’s why this “little” story comes out as a very unique, perfect master masterpiece 😊😊😊 love it and worth every single dime! Thanks for the creators, I will just sit hear and wait till their next crazy idea! :)Show lessZajecer
Overrated
Wanted to love this game, but ended up deleting after about an hour of gameplay (before completion - no idea how long the game is). Here’s the deal: it’s gorgeous scenery and great concept, but really bad implementation. The puzzles are hard to solve without any clues or hints. It harkens back to Zack & Wiki model of try-and-die where you have to guess your way through these obstacles, jumps, pushing or pulling items you can’t even see, or else die trying and redo the whole thing over again. The controls could be fine, but lagginess means that you may or may not make that perfectly timed jump to move on. Further making things difficult are the random spikes and traps to kill you for no good reason. It’s pretty ruthless and not fun. That’s coming from a guy who loves puzzle and adventure games. Limbo is a huge miss for me. Totally overrated. Stick with Where’s my Water, King Rabbit or Plants vs Zombies.Show lessrjh19820813rjh
Amazing game
Graphics and the gloomy vibe are thrilling!!!
But since I play on my phone, I think some of the « scenes » are harder to succeed because you have less control than you would normally have if played on PS... I’m forever stuck in limbo in the gear scene... 10 scenes to the finish line... :( Over all very nice. You should definitely get INSIDE if you you liked this one.Show lessKébec
