### 3/5 — Limbo a du potentiel

*2025-06-29*

Après avoir joué à Inside, j’ai décidé de tester Limbo. Et j’ai été déçu. Le jeu est bien, mais les énigmes répétitives et ennuyeuses, alors que sur le contrat il a l’air bien. De plus j’ai un problème avec les sons du jeu ( ils sont assez nuls ). Dommage parce qu’au début ( et au début seulement ) je m’amusais sur ce jeu payant. Mais les énigmes sont devenues trop dures ( alors j’ai regardé un tuto ) et je me suis lassé ( quel intérêt de jouer à ce jeu si je dois regarder un tuto pour réussir ? ). Bref ce jeu a du potentiel et une bonne histoire ( pour moi c’est clairement un accident de voiture ) mais il n’est pas réussi et surtout, étant créé en 2010, il n’est plus adapté à aujourd’hui. Merci d’avoir lu ce commentaire ! Bonne journée à vous.

### 4/5 — Great game but SO difficult

*2025-03-30, version 1.2.2.*

I played Playdead’s Inside game first and though it was difficult, but it was easier then this game!  In Inside you had hints where to find the Easter eggs by seeing the yellow cords and then trying to get to them.  In this game I repeatedly had to use guides to find them all.   And, the hidden chapter, there is no way I could complete that but I watched it through with someone on the Steam platform.

### 5/5 — The best

*2025-03-18, version 1.2.2.*

The story is so mind blowing and the death scenes are so brutal and the puzzles are kinda easy but I love it :)

### 4/5 — Gute grafik

*2025-01-24*

Spiel ist gut gemacht aber ich komme bei einem der ersten hindernisse nicht weiter da wo man auf dieser box im Teich ist

### 5/5 — The best

*2025-01-04, version 1.2.2.*

It’s so addictive I can beat it in a day

### 5/5 — Excellent game

*2024-12-24, version 1.2.2.*

This is an excellent game! However, chapter 37 seems to be broken. I can’t get the arrow to turn on no matter where I hit it. Therefore, I cannot go any further. Support?

### 3/5 — Good but frustrating

*2024-11-27, version 1.2.2.*

Once you’ve tried a random jump and catch 15 times and got nowhere near it, it’s time to give up, delete the app and go get some fresh air 😂😤🫠

### 5/5 — Totally Engrossing!!!

*2024-10-17, version 1.2.2.*

One of my most favourite collection of puzzle genre games, having originally purchased and completed before Apple Arcade but now I would gladly pay the subscription fee just for these titles alone. 
Puzzles galore, sneaking around in the twilight what more could a 70+ year old gamer require apart from a supply of drinks and snacks for an all night session!!!

### 5/5 — Purgatory

*2024-10-15, version 1.2.2.*

I love this game so much. I never usually write these things, but playing this game has made me feel things that I’ve never thought I could feel and it’s to look for somebody who is no longer there with us. I think this game has a good representation of life afterwards and also our own fears and the depression bug that gets us sick leading to….LIMBO

I miss you mom and dad….🥺😢

### 5/5 — Beautiful game

*2024-10-10, version 1.2.2.*

I played Dead Inside and saw this one, and thought to myself I have to play this one . Once again I was not disappointed at all. Its beautiful, the story the scene. Everything to it is a chefs kiss!! Im inlove with these games your making! Thank you for your hard work and thoughtfulness that you put in the game. It is a art piece, a masterpiece! 💕💕

### 2/5 — Déception

*2024-08-15*

Très déçu par rapport à Inside. il y a des défis presque irréalisables car même si on comprend tout de suite quoi faire on est bloqué sur la réalisation et la manipulation du personnage…

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2024-05-28, version 1.2.2.*

Having now played through this game twice and loving it both times, I have to leave a review. I love the simple art style and interesting puzzles. It’s creepy and captivating! Worth a playthrough for sure!

### 5/5 — Great story

*2024-05-21, version 1.2.2.*

And a great ending

### 3/5 — Gutes Spiel, schlechte Steuerung

*2024-05-13*

Das Spiel, die Atmosphäre und die einzelnen Rätsel sind eigentlich toll, die Touchsteuerung führt aber oft zu Frustration, da simple Level, die oft hauptsächlich auf Parkour basieren, durch einen „einfachen“ Sprung  unnötig schwer werden. Die Checkpoints sind dafür zwar gut gesetzt, das gleiche leichte Rätsel aber wegen inkonsistenter Steuerung 10 mal lösen zu müssen ist dennoch nervig. Das Spiel ist auch schon älter und im zweiten Teil wurde vieles nochmal verbessert (große Empfehlung), trotzdem deshalb nur 3 Sterne.

### 5/5 — The best game ever.

*2024-04-25, version 1.2.2.*

I love the game it’s not too gory and it’s hard which makes it fun and you can really think about it.

### 5/5 — 100%

*2024-03-09, version 1.2.2.*

Beautiful, Dark, cinematic, Aesthetic, creative.

### 5/5 — Dark Screen

### 1/5 — Jogo chato demais

*2025-09-12*

Ridículo o garoto morrer toda hora por besteira. Quando tudo precisa ser milimetricamente colocado no lugar, o jogo perde a graça e a razão de ser.

### 1/5 — Needs a jump button

*2025-03-30, version 1.2.2.*

See title

### 1/5 — Ummm

*2024-08-06, version 1.2.2.*

Hey, meant to climb up walls and it doesn’t let you jump up and the walls are too high

### 1/5 — :(

*2024-02-07, version 1.2.2.*

i mnot able to jump to the right!

### 1/5 — Limbo 2

*2024-01-29, version 1.2.2.*

Fun game up to a point at some stages
 You have little or no control over the character and repeat the part over and over

### 1/5 — Not for me

*2023-12-25, version 1.2.2.*

Too fiddly … too “trial and error”. Even the YouTube walkthrough spends more time getting it wrong before finding a way forward.

### 1/5 — I did NOT download the paid version

*2023-08-30, version 1.2.2.*

I downloaded the free arcade version and Apple charged me for the paid version. I better get a refund. The game is okay but it’s not worth $4 esp when it was advertised as part of the arcade subscription

### 1/5 — iPad players can only play 1/3 of game.

*2023-03-16, version 1.2.2.*

Quite good but a third approx of way in you are stuck if playing on an iPad.   Need to leap right onto floating box then further right up wall, however, game just makes you jump left once on the box into water and death.  Nothing you can do to stop it.  Feel there should be a warning that tablet players can only access a third of the game.

### 1/5 — Bruh

*2022-11-18, version 1.2.2.*

Bruh…

### 1/5 — Uuugh

*2022-02-10, version 1.2.2.*

This was fun back when it was actually a game with spiders and evil children and not hours upon hours of moving boxes and falling of cliffs!

### 5/5 — Expérience sublime

*2026-03-29*

Limbo est un jeu magnifique, et son portage sur mobile n’a absolument aucun défaut. Si vous hésitez encore à le prendre, allez-y ! Il en vaut largement la peine

### 5/5 — Let’s be real

*2026-02-11, version 1.2.5*

So this game is good it’s the best game you can play. It’s like the best and so I wanna compliment everything that they did to make this game awesome also like the controls are kinda easy but it doesn’t count. The sounds are good. The achievements are good thank you. Bye.

### 5/5 — Frustrating but good graphics

*2025-10-19, version 1.2.4*

I’m only giving this five stars so people will be able to see my review. The game is fun and it has good graphics, but the player is incredibly slow and the puzzles need a fast paced character and this game does not allow for that so it makes the puzzles and the game take longer and longer, and longer to do Personally and I think many people agree with me. This game is very frustrating like really frustrating because the puzzles are so hard and again as I keep repeating the character is so slow. So editors if you’re seeing this more people would play this game if the character wasn’t so slow and it wasn’t so frustrating so maybe fix that.

### 5/5 — amazing but difficult

*2025-08-05, version 1.2.3*

### 5/5 — Limbo 2

*2025-07-27, version 1.2.3*
