### 4/5 — Ending

*2026-08-24, version 1.0.2*

Great but the ending before the credits was ok

### 4/5 — Regular baiting fun

*2026-02-23, version 1.0.2*

Limbo is definitely a bit rage-baiting at times, but in the best way possible. The puzzles can be frustrating, yet it’s so entertaining that you can’t stop playing. The atmosphere, visuals, and overall design are amazing. It felt especially great playing on my iPad — the screen really enhances the experience.

I honestly wish this game had a two-player mode. It would be so fun to play local iPad games like this with a spouse or family member. Still, an incredible game and absolutely worth playing.

### 2/5 — Glitch in section 18

*2025-12-15*

So far I was loving this game but there’s a glitch in section 18 where you pull the lever but the water level comes up enough to jump from the box so i’m stuck there, please fix this bug

### 5/5 — Aventura

*2025-12-15*

Que jogo espetacular, cada fase um desafio diferente. Um ótimo jogo para quem gosta de quebra cabeça, e aventura . Vale a pena comprar, ou pagar o mensal para ter acesso

### 2/5 — 😤😤😤

*2025-11-23, version 1.0.2*

It should be a great game to play on PC, but it's absolutely frustrating on a tablet. First of all, there's no beginner guidance whatsoever—no tutorial on how to control the character. Then, the controls are terribly unresponsive. Since it uses swipes to distinguish between up, down, left, and right, it should at least provide a virtual joystick. That would make controlling much easier. Otherwise, with nothing on the screen, when I try to move right, the character automatically jumps up. I’ve died multiple times because of this weird control issue, which really ruins the gaming experience. 😤

### 5/5 — Addictive and thoughtful

*2025-11-17*

It’s a puzzle-baaed action game, but at the very root of it is a poignant expression of human mind living through trauma.

### 3/5 — Game not going forward

*2025-11-10*

There’s a glitch in the section 18 of the game when I pull the liver and the water rises the wooden box does not go up and I’m stuck there please fix this glitch

### 3/5 — Unclear on controls

*2025-11-07, version 1.0.2*

Playing it on IPad Air and there are no control instructions. I had to figure out how to jump. Doesn’t tell u how to pull things so I had to look up a Reddit post or else I couldn’t advance. It would help if they had instructions on the controls in the pause menu.

### 4/5 — Very stylised but super dark concepts

*2025-11-06, version 1.0.2*

So I’m a few levels in and I would agree with other comments— it is a gorgeous game with great stylised play but it is in its own way very gruesome. And I don’t mean vivid visuals of guts and gore, but the concepts are very dark. E.g. having the little boy climb up the rope and body of a rotting corpse hanging from a tree. It is all dark so is not realistic gore but could still be very disturbing to many people. I would caution parents and sensitive people — the age rating is 13+ but I think there are plenty of people over 13 who would be easily disturbed by this app. If you are not easily disturbed, go ahead because it is actually really good and is a very interesting game where you have to puzzle through how to get your character moving through lots of scenarios.

### 3/5 — Controls ill-suited for a mobile game

*2025-11-02, version 1.0.2*

Glad to finally be able to play with Apple Arcade, but the poor mobile controls are making this just frustrating. Eg grabbing a handle to pull an object shouldn’t require multiple attempts, just because there isn’t good enough differentiation between pulling and walking away.

### 3/5 — Horror🎀

*2025-10-12, version 1.0.2*

Love it tricky but also scary

### 5/5 — Super Spiel

*2025-10-10*

Bestes Spiel was ich je gespielt habe, wenn es ein kleines Tutorial geben würde wie die Steuerung funktioniert.

### 1/5 — NUL

*2026-07-15*

Quand on doit tirer quelque chose c’est impossible, quand par exemple je devais tirer le piège je marchais dessus . Il n’y a qu’un seul bouton pour avancer et tirer des choses complètement inutiles lent et ennuyeux bref Apple Arcade payer pour rien et le jeu je ne féliciterai pas les créateurs

### 1/5 — 조작법

*2026-05-23*

조작법 잘 된다는 애새끼들은 뭘 보고 잘 된다는거냐? 애초에 조작법 설명도 아예 없고 그냥 시작해버리는데 머가 쉽다는거임 물건 잡아서 끄는것도 애초에 어디 반향으로 해야 끌수잇는지 알려줘야지 그것 조차 알려주지도 않도 어케 하라는거임 니들은 뭘로 하길래 조작법이 잘된다는거냐 유튜브로 독학햇냐?

### 1/5 — Brutal and too graphic

*2026-04-24, version 1.0.2*

How did this game ever make it to App Store? Beheading a kid now? Really!?!

### 1/5 — 조작

*2026-02-23*

조작방법도 없고 뭘 어쩌라는건지

### 1/5 — Schlechte Steuerung

*2026-01-21*

Eigentlich ganz witzig aber die schlechte Steuerung verdirbt den Spaß am spielen

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-12-27, version 1.0.2*

First, the guy is way too slow, second, the fricking white thing puzzles are just to fill it in. Don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — Terrible controls

*2025-11-25, version 1.0.2*

The unresponsive controls make this experience unenjoyable. I would have liked this game if my character did what I wanted it to

### 1/5 — Won’t start up

*2025-11-24, version 1.0.2*

Just sticks on the opening screen. The boy stands up and nothing else happens. And you can’t quit either. You have to force quit. No updates for 6 months tells me that this game is no longer supported. Uninstalling.

### 1/5 — Pas du tout intuitif

*2025-10-03*

Payer Apple Arcade pour des jeux comme ça… aucun intérêt.

### 1/5 — OS 26

*2025-09-23*

Mit OS 26 am Mac nicht mehr spielbar

### 5/5 — physics engine is good

*2026-08-21, version 1.0.2*

physics engine is good

### 5/5 — An original and freaky game👌

*2026-05-27, version 1.0.2*

I played this game quite a while back, and let me just say it’s awesome! The lore of the game is awesome. The puzzles can get quite tricky, but it’s so worth it with it crazy and funky yet scary art style, limbo is quite amazing horror game!!! But my gosh, trying to get past that giant spider literally gave me anger issues…

### 5/5 — Ein tolles Spiel

*2026-04-28*

Das Spiel hat seine ganz eigene Art und Geschichte, auf die man sich erstmal einlassen muss. Tut man das, hat man aber ein wirklich schönes Erlebnis. Für mich eins der besten Spiele.

### 5/5 — ITS SO GOOD

*2026-03-19, version 1.0.2*

I just beat the game and it was amazing :D

### 5/5 — 조작 어렵다고 지랄하는건 병신이라는 증거

*2026-03-19*

대충 끄적여보면 잘 배우게 해놨구만 병신새끼들인가

### 5/5 — So much fun

*2026-03-17, version 1.0.2*

I played this game when I was seven and it was pretty scary but then when I thought I loved it and it was a really fun puzzle game great game five stars for sure!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍

### 5/5 — Magnifico

*2026-03-10*

Um dos melhores jogos que ja joguei, história, trila sonora, gráficos, jogabilidade. Super recomendo. Pra quem ja jogou Inside eu recomendo o Limbo tbm, e pra quem vai jogar ou acabou de jogar limbo e não conhece p Inside, vale a pena baixar!!!

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2026-01-31, version 1.0.2*

Wonderful game. Beautiful art and animation. Lovely gameplay and puzzles. Really enjoyed it.

### 5/5 — There all lying

*2026-01-26, version 1.0.2*

It works fine on my m4 pro max

### 5/5 — I’ve never been afraid of Dynamic Island this much

*2025-12-19*

What a beautiful game, so simple yet so incredibly powerful. Absolutely beautiful juxtaposition of childishness and minimalism versus gore and brutality. Though my Dynamic Island suddenly aliding out of the dark made me sweat more than once.
