Limbo is a dark, puzzle game in a dystopian world. You play as a small child navigating eerie environments filled with deadly traps.

Pros

✅ Clever Puzzles
✅ Cute Yet Creepy
✅ Dystopian Vibes
✅ Runs well on Deck

Cons

❌ Frequent Deaths – Not for those who don’t like seeing a child get dismembered
❌ No Background Music – Can feel boring when you're stuck
❌ Black & White Art Style – Sometimes hard to see details

Final Verdict
Creepy, clever, and fun, but expect to die—a lot. If you like games that challenge you with clever mechanics and a haunting world, Limbo is definitely worth a try!

This game is awesome - I love the art style, the game play is simple yet very challenging. I can't recommend this game enough.

Phenomenal game!! 10/10. So immersive and atmospheric. The puzzles are really clever and a ton of fun. I had to stop a few times to just appreciate certain levels and the thought that went into the puzzle and the story. I found the difficulty level perfect. Didn't get stumped until the later chapters so it's neat it got progressively more difficult. Fun game to take screenshots of too. I had a great time with the hidden achievements.

Make sure that when you get to the LAST level, you're running the game with fullscreen mode and not windowed mode otherwise it will freeze. (go into the game files and open the file "settings" in notepad and make "windowedmode = false," like it defaults to. All the other levels are fine to play on windowed mode. Just not the last scene of the final chapter.

This is a short and fun platform game that moves seamlessly through a haunting and eerie ambient environment. The minimal sounds and lighting, use of shadows, and curious landscape are great design choices. Expect to use multiple senses and thoughtful timing to move through the puzzles. There's no given story line, which adds to the mysterious feel of the game. One play through is enough and worth the few hours of play.

I felt compelled to check out LIMBO after being enamored with COCOON - and I’m so happy to finally understand why it’s earned its status as the godfather of modern puzzle platformers. So good!

Awesome game <3
It is reeeeally worth do the hidden part, achievement called Ding!

The only drawback is that I find the 100% TOO HARD just because one achievement, dont die more than 5 times :S

Amazing! Whether you get it on discount or at full price, it's worth it.

Will definitely give it another play through in the future.

It's an old but gold game that's worth a shot.

Mechanically simple and easy to pick up. The puzzles are straightforward and feels rewarding.

For a 100% completion, I even discovered a section I never knew existed before; and I'm personally a big fan. Basically throwing everything you've learned throughout the game and putting it in one continuous challenge. It's hard but fair.

There is 1 achievement that's absolutely tedious though, it took me 3 hours... in one sitting.

很好的解密游戏但是好难啊，玩的时候感觉智商被碾压了。听说inside简单点还是玩inside去了。有缘回来打通关

The monotone art style and sound design are some of the game's best things. Though short, I liked the game. It helped that I played it in the dark, really helps with the mood.

7/10

A game with simple concept and simple controls, yet the puzzles are fun to solve. Can be finished within 1 seating.

Besides a couple of levels where the solution is more obscure than I'd like, this is a decent 2D puzzle game. The secret level/path is especially creative. The controls leave some things to be desired however. Unlike other people, I can't really say the game's atmosphere resonated with me.

I played this game because I enjoyed INSIDE so much. LIMBO was interesting but it was also dark, creepy, and mysterious. I do think INSIDE was certainly a huge upgrade from this game, but it was still enjoyable. The puzzles at times were a bit hard to do though, as there were two or three puzzles in total that I had to lookup after a lot of thinking. My favorite moment of the game was definitely when the girl was there at first in one of the final chapters, but then you have to walk away and when you come back its an entirely different setting.

Short and nice game. I recommend to play this game alone on the night of Halloween with headphones and lights off to get fully immersed.

Great game with great design. If you like puzzles, you will enjoy Limbo

an amazing game with great puzzles, i remember playing this game when i was little and im so glad i found it again. absolutely love this game

Limbo is a great game that challenges players with clever, physics-based puzzles. However, what truly sets it apart is its haunting atmosphere. The eerie visuals, combined with a minimal yet powerful soundtrack, create a deeply immersive experience that pulls you into its dark, mysterious world.

Not sure what I can say about this, just a very engaging platforming game that gives you very little information on what's going or the lore. Lots of fun getting through this!

This was a humbling experiencee... I enjoyed it, all I'll say is lot of the time the solution to puzzles were VERY unclear, I found the same problem with INSIDE too (although probably just a skill issue in my case). Overall it was fun, albeit very frustrating at times, but it's SO well made! Time to try and get all the achievements now :,)

It's simple and simply great. 2D Platformer that is not really hard, but has a really dark atmosphere and even some kind of world building. Loved every minute of it.

I can honestly say I'm disappointed in myself for not finishing this sooner.

-2012, I finished building my first gaming pc and launched Steam. Found Limbo and played it.
Found plenty of other games and lost interest in Limbo.

-2013, picked it back up and got through about 8 chapters, set it down and left it alone.

-2025, decided to play it on my Steam Deck and polish it off.

Frankly, very impressed. Ambiance is terrific, the spider is horrible, wish it was longer. Thank you.

I would strongly recommend thise game. It's not what I expected and in a very good way. The puzzles get more and more complex as you progress throught the chapters, you really have to think outside of the box sometimes.
It's a simple game yet very effective at what it does.

Limbo is a timeless indie masterpiece that redefined the puzzle-platformer genre with its minimalist yet deeply atmospheric approach. Developed by Playdead, the game immerses players in a haunting monochromatic world filled with mystery and danger.

The striking black-and-white visuals, combined with a chillingly minimalist sound design, create an eerie and unsettling atmosphere that grips you from start to finish. The puzzles are clever, intuitive, and seamlessly tied to the environment, offering just the right balance of challenge and satisfaction.

What makes Limbo stand out is its ability to tell a profound, thought-provoking story without a single word of dialogue. Its themes of survival, loss, and exploration resonate deeply, making it more than just a game, it's an experience.

For fans of atmospheric and emotionally driven games, Limbo is an absolute must-play. Its influence on the indie game scene is undeniable, and its haunting world will stay with you long after you’ve reached the end.

How good can a simple black & white game be anyway? I asked myself that question before starting but wow, this one grabs you in and doesn't let go, with physical/mechanical based puzzles that grow increasingly complex. This one and its sister game, "Inside" remain two of my top 10 favorites.

This game has no settings related to graphics, and I'm unable to move the game to a different monitor - my primary monitor is not the monitor I game on. I cannot use win+shift+arrow keys to move it (it moves a black screen but not the game), I cannot move it with win+tab.

I don't want to change my primary monitor just for a game. At least give me a setting to make the game into a window and let me drag it and make it full screen.

The game developers have ignored the basics, ignoring that gamers may not have the exact same setup as them. Just let me move the game to a different monitor, don't expect players to change their primary monitor just for your game.

Was this a fun game? Sure. I enjoyed the puzzles. Will I play it again? No. I do recommend to play it once but otherwise I won't be picking this up anytime soon. This is a good game to keep someone busy while you run errands or killing time.

I dont understand why so many people praise this game and elevate it to the rank of a masterpiece. The excitement probably appeared after the release of INSIDE. And it feels like a trial vision for a future projects(like INSIDE). The game is not bad, it will do for 1-2 evenings.

Despite not enjoying it as much as Inside, Limbo was great. Some really good game design and a fantastic ending. Definitely recommended.

I like this game I like how simple and short it is but hard at the same time

Nice problem solving game, I like the simple design since objects can appear ambiguous adding to the problem solving aspect.

Every time you make a mistake a child dies in a gruesome way.
Truly an artwork

This is a great and clever game! Sometimes very frustrating puzzles but they are far from impossible, just take some time and you figure it out. Great atmosphere and graphics! 9/10 (since the next game from the same developer (Playdead) called Inside is a 10/10 in my book, don´t miss it!!).

You will definitely find a difficult puzzle there. it was very amusing and requires decent problem solving. its also amazing how many ways the kid can die in this game.

Thoroughly enjoyed this platform adventure. The first playthrough is a lot of learning, but it goes way faster the subsequent plays. Still working on my final achievement, but the game is still challenging and fun even knowing what obstacles are coming up!

Limbo Review

A piece of art. But some puzzles in the end are unintuitive.

✔️ You die a lot, and this requires focus and patience, not skill. If you don’t like trying repeatedly, this game may not be for you.

✔️ About the hardest achievement, "No Point in Dying", you can only attempt it after finishing the game. The achievement only appears at the very end.

✔️ Sound is also important. Some achievements rely on sensitive hearing, but in certain parts, the noise is so loud that playing without sound might be better.

✔️ It’s a game for those who don’t mind dying. The character is very fragile (he can’t swim, dies from falls, spikes, and more).

✔️ I completed all achievements in Limbo, but it takes patience and perseverance to do so. If that’s not a problem for you, you’ll likely find it as brilliant as the other Playdead games.

Relatively simple puzzle game until the last 3 chapters.

Then it became annoying.

A really excellent game. I picked this one up to play on the Steamdeck and I'm super happy with how it performs, it runs at a locked 90FPS without any audio, video or control issues, you boot it up and it works flawlessly.

The game itself is about 45m long from start to finish, so about 60-90m if you're playing for the first time (expect lots of deaths while you learn the puzzles)

There's two really brutal achievements here, I thought I'd outline them here in case anyone else wants to achievement hunt.

1) Completing the hidden level, which you can only get by collecting all of the secret eggs in the game. This level is incredibly difficult, with most of the level being in pitch black, so you need to listen to audio cues for when you need to jump and run. You'll need a guide for this one because it's brutal. The only saving grace is when you die you don't start the level over again, you respawn close to where you died.

2) Beating the game with a maximum of 5 deaths. This one was hands down one of the hardest achievements I've completed, even though the game is only 40m long you can die on dozens on traps, costing you a life.

There's about 6 really difficult sections in the game where you need to play perfectly, with the end final jump being arguably the most difficult to master (and where I lost multiple runs )

Even though you can use the chapter select to play the difficult sections and practice, it's doing the run from start to finish thats a killer. It took about 8 hours for me to get this one but I'm super happy I stuck it out because it really tests your mastery of the game.

There's a few full playthroughs and even a few deathless runs but you'll only get this one if you keep playing and master each of the tricky puzzles.

100% recommend this game, it's an absolute gem

Atmosphere and aesthetic is amazing and the puzzles are challenging but not too difficult. Great game that started and finished in a weekend.

गेम एक बहुत ही अंधेरी दुनिया पर आधारित है। काला और सफ़ेद लेकिन सेटिंग अच्छी और आकर्षक है। ध्वनि भी अद्भुत है और कई स्थानों पर संकेतों के रूप में उपयोग की जाती है। मौत का ध्वनि और दृश्य एनीमेशन सचमुच बहुत मजबूत लगता है (जाल और मकड़ियों द्वारा)। परीक्षण और त्रुटि से आप आगे बढ़ते रहते हैं और पहेलियाँ सुलझाते रहते हैं। स्तर अद्भुत हैं और कभी-कभी बहुत डरावने भी होते हैं (लोग सचमुच मेरे लड़के पर मशीनगन से फायरिंग कर रहे थे)। आप निश्चित रूप से यात्रा को महसूस करते हैं और अंत में आप वास्तव में राहत महसूस करते हैं। बिक्री पर इसे चुनें, यह अनुभव के लायक है। जबरदस्त AAAs के बाद कुछ अच्छा, छोटा और सहज ज्ञान युक्त।
अनुवाद:
Game is set in a very dark world. B/W but the setting is nice and appealing . Sound is also awesome and used as cues at many places. The Sound And Visual animation of death literally feels very strong(by traps traps and spiders) . By trial and error you keep going forward and solving puzzles . The levels are amazing and even very scary at times (People be literally firing machines guns at my boy). Definitely you feel the journey and you really feel relieved at the end. Pick this on sale its worth the experience. Something nice, small and intuitive after overwhelming AAAs .

W horror game with good mechanics and amazing gameplay

An incredibly simple but atmospheric game that has thoroughly screwed with my brain. The game is really great, I played it with a controller.

Cool horror game with a unique art style and very fun to play.

Limbo is a fun to play puzzle solving game I had played and completed it for more than 7 times. It got nice minimalist theme with hauntingly beautiful visuals and sound. Though some puzzles may seems to be tricky but Its a well-balanced game. Will definitely recommend to play.

I liked the fact that the difficult bits give you clues as to what to do. The save mechanism is brilliant because you only end up having to re run the last 1 min of gameplay if you die on a tricky bit.
I collected all the achievements except one which was very difficult which is not dying in the entire game and this is really hard. 🤯

It's a neat experience, but not there's not much for replay value.I don't feel like it's worth being completionist due to the frustration of it.

Whoever gives this game a bad review has a horrible taste in games. If it's because of glitches, I'm okay with it. But if it's because you just don't like the game... tsk tsk tsk. This game is a GAME CHANGER. 2010 was one of the Golden Years for the game industry. Red Dead Redemption, Metro: Last Light, and LIMBO, to name a few. Playing these games in 2025 is still wonderful in almost, if not every way.

2005, 2010, 2016. Those are some of the best game years.

Warm regards to Playdead. This game is awesome. In my opinion, it's as good as INSIDE. Please support this game in every way you can.
