Limbo is a delightfuly creepy, unique and beautiful looking game but the sluggish and sometimes unresponsive controls make this game a patience testing chore all throughout. The puzzles are sometimes very clever and satisfying to solve but other puzzles seemed a bit nonsensical and annoying. Unfortunately I had to quit before finishing the game. I recommend the PC version over this one. The PC version doesn't look quite as nice in my opinion but appears to have smoother controls.

Art direction is top notch. Very dark, and eery atmosphere. The gripe is piss poor controls. You have to die to uncover every puzzle, then die over and over just to get the character to execute each small movement to solve the most basic of platforming feats. Better control would make this a lot more enjoyable. For a game that isn't much fun to play, you may just want to watch a YouTube play through and save 5 bucks.

This is a great game. The puzzles aren't extraordinarily difficult, and I think they're just the right level to keep you going at a good pace. My biggest gripe is just about the controls. It would take me half as long to clear a level if I didn't jump by accident instead of leaping. Buttons or anything else would be great. The lighting of the graphics is a bit dark and can be hard to see at times, but I've been able to find all the necessary objects/levers.
