Heavenly Purgatory


When I heard of it, I predicted that LIMBO would be the next Braid; and boy, I wasn't wrong. An Xbox Live Arcade title, a 2D-platformer, with a striking art style and brains behind its deceptively simple concept: LIMBO's similarities with the much hallowed time-bending paint-rendered XBLA platformer are plenty . And much like Braid, LIMBO has been getting rave reviews - a moody, creative platformer with wonderful atmosphere and ingenious, often cruel, environmental puzzles. That about sums it up. LIMBO, like Braid, is a masterpiece.
