You€™ll struggle to get your hands on a platformer that is equally as creepy as the spectacularly ominous Limbo. Cast in the deeply unsettling world of €œthe edge of hell€ the game presents you with one simple objective; survive.

Upon hitting start you€™ll be struck by Limbo€™s bleak color palette and chillingly minimal soundtrack, which creates an initial sense of unease. Casually slipping up on even the simplest of puzzles will trigger your own horrific death and you€™ll likely find yourself being churned up by razor blades or drowning in a thick pool of murky water. Due to the severe level of punishment you€™ll feel forever on edge when trying to tightly execute a jump, or when nearly being engulfed by a sea of rapidly rising water.

Limbo€™s engaging puzzles, moody aesthetic and chilling soundtrack make it a game that succeeds across all aspects.
