Game #21: LIMBO

LIMBO
Platform: PC
Duration: 2.5 Hours

Not once did I ever limbo under anything. 0/10

loljk. Anyway, I will say that I think the best aspect of the game is the style. It's honestly pretty unique. I think it got in the way of some puzzles though because it wasn't entirely clear that I could interact with some of the things in the environment.

I still am not a huge fan of this game, even after finally completing it. There were really odd difficulty peaks and valleys throughout the game. Sure the puzzles got more complex as you went along, but complexity does not inherently add difficulty. Some of these puzzles, particularly the more complicated physics based ones, were pretty interesting. Some though, were just boring. Also there were "puzzles" that were just simple GOTCHA moments that were pretty annoying to encounter. It's like, yeah, okay, you surprised me with that second bear trap. I now know about this "puzzle" and will just avoid it next time. That isn't very fun gameplay to me.

Also I may just not be "artsy" enough, but I had precisely zero idea what was going on.
