Limbo is a side-scroller, puzzle-platform based game created by independent game developer Playdead. The game is based around a boy, lost in a state between Heaven and Hell, what people call "Limbo".
When playing the game, you get overcome with a sense of tension, isolation and a strange feeling of not knowing what's lurking in the dark.
I really appreciate the overall style of the game. The simplistic shapes, smooth movements and the fact that it's a 2D game (which you don't really see now) makes this game stand out against modern games.There's no dialogue, just sounds effects, which adds to the eerie, mysterious feel to the game and also carries the games plot. I feel like the main goal that was worked towards when creating this game was to attempt to create something using less components that games of this era use. They seemed to of taken a step back, and created something that has a powerful atmosphere and visually interesting.
