Limbo

The game Limbo gave me goose bumps throughout the whole game. Right in the beginning, it was very ominous. The whole setting was very dark and dimly lite. I kept thinking that something was going to jump out at my character or something, but nothing really ever came. I kept getting impaled by the spider and falling into bear traps… It nearly gave me a heart attack each time. I really am not good at games that require the character to jump and stuff. I will always slip (since I am not good a gauging the distances and momentum). The game was also every confusing at times because I did not know what to do, especially to use old trees to make a bridge and such. It took me forever to figure out certain things (even when my friends joined me while I played it).

The story for the kid was very confusing because that was no dialogue. But in the beginning, it just seems that he was dropped there out of nowhere. Given the title’s name “Limbo”, I would think that the kid had died but is not quite dead, so he is stuck in Limbo and trying to get back home.
