Limbo is a 2D side-scrolling game released by Playdead. The premise of the game is simple, bordering on basic: players assume the role of an unnamed boy searching for his sister who’s apparently lost in Limbo. While this is fine enough of a reason (excuse?) to go off on a grand adventure, it isn’t mentioned in the game at ALL, but rather pulled from the game’s Google Play page. And to clarify this point, there was no prologue, cut scenes, epilogue, narration, subtitles, or any thing else that would advance a narrative. No story, but for the byline found on Google Play. The thing is though, this game is so good that I didn’t care. Also, not only is this the closest thing I have to a complaint, it’s my sole one at that.
Back in February 2012 we reported on popular and creepy looking PC game LIMBO coming to Android. Well it seems that the game has finally made the long journey from PC to Android today after three years passing since we reported on it originally. While we have had a few games with similar styles to LIMBO, such as LAD, there is something to be said about having the original game to play.
A spooky, and very creepy, platformer that made its way onto XBLA back in 2010 called Limbo may be heading to mobile platforms in the near future including Android. Developed by indie game studio Playdead, Limbo was very well received on XBLA thanks to the eerie black-and-white visuals and general unsettling atmosphere.
