10 Brain Bending Video Game Puzzles That Will Drive You Insane

Limbo is the ultimate proof of the expression that less is more. The less you know, the more you are intrigued. He who dines on mystery will grow fat, while he who craves only knowledge shall surely starve.

There are long periods of inactivity, as you attempt to navigate your pre-pubescent charge through the lethal traps in Limbo. The minimalist sound and music, the mist and the shadows, all of it makes you feel in a way that very few games have managed, either before or since. But there's one specific point in Limbo that will not only bend your brain, but pull it out through your nostrils, stick it in a blender, and liquify it. The ending. Or... not the ending. You complete the game, and you find yourself back at the very start. There are no achievements, no credits. You are, simply, back where you started.

There is something about that moment, the audacity of it, the simplicity, and the allegory with human existence itself that hits you like a shovel in the face. And you cannot shake that feeling for quite some time.
