Xbox Limbo Latest HD Game Available Now

Limbo is a work of art. Infact it is a masterpiece that is twisted and gruesome in its beautiful and minimalistic ways. I was having second thoughts about getting this game off Xbox Live Arcade for 1200 Microsoft Points but this game was worth every single hard-earned point. A three to four hour journey through the gorgeous and deadly woods of hell, Limbo is one game that I will not let go off any time soon.

Limbo is a 2D puzzle platformer in which the protagonist is a little boy who wakes up in a forest with no idea of how and why he got there. It’s one of those games which start off with as little information there is and you slowly learn the plot of the story throughout the game. The game is set in a haunting and dreary environment where the objects and creatures appear as dark silhouettes against a gloomy grey.

Now the only complain I have is the length of the game. It might take you longer to end the game but only in the case if you are more awesome at video-games than I (highly unlikely). But that is just a reason to complain. A game so artistically perfect and gameplay-wise astonishing stays with you for a long time. It’s one of those games which leave you in silence and solitude after completing it, not willing to let go of the game so easily. A gem in my library of games.

All horror stories don’t have a happy ending.
