Limbo

Games I've Completed

Just finished Limbo, a very short black-and-white platformer. You play as a little child, and there’s barely any context. From the title, I’m guessing the child has died and is making their way to the afterlife. The game is heavy on trial and error, I was constantly getting killed.

The ending was intriguing. You meet what seems to be a girl, and after the credits, you see the same scene but with flies swarming where the characters stood. I guess he’s returned to where he died.

Limbo brought back memories of Another World and Flashback. I loved those games—they were slower platformers where you had to move thoughtfully. Not sure if Limbo measures up to them, but it’s been ages since I played those games, so my memory might be a bit off.
