Limbo Review

Limbo Review
4.5 of 5 Stars.

Pros:
Amazing visual artistic choices with the black and white silhouette
Astounding audio--makes you feel like you are right in there, and the queues really push you in emotional directions.
Truly evokes a sense of mystery
Excellent animations and tight controls
Great physics
Very well done puzzles and game design
Very moving (if confusing) ending

Cons:
I didn't really feel a build towards the ending. It sort of happened out of nowhere. Though that may have been intentional, I feel like the way the game ended could have been more impacting if the buildup felt more epic

Jumping: You can jump freely and catch ledges and swing on stuff. Heck yeah!
