ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Playdead's LIMBO holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Playdead's LIMBO has 2.7K ratings behind it against 123, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Reckless Racing 2's written reviews are positive against 69% of Playdead's LIMBO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
