Limbo Review:

Limbo is a type of game which is a strategy type of game; it’s where the user of the game is trying to complete the mission which is played by a young boy. The game is played by the user who trying to find ways of completing the game and story. There is no background to the story of the game you just have to play the game trying to figure out how to complete the game.

The style of the game is basic meaning that there is no such thing as instruction at the beginning of the game. The user has to figure out the game by playing the game this should showed that it wasn't clear.

The game controls were easy to use the reason why is that the movement of the character was controlled by arrow keys, space bar all these function made the character jump and the control button makes the character hold onto items, this is a part of the game.

The game play is very intense the user has to pay attention to minor details within the game. The graphics of the game is 2D platform strategy which makes the game easy to play the reason why is it has a basic dimension and the graphics gives the user basic feel. The colour graphics used in the game was black and white and also grey. To some of the user the colour choose isn't as appealing compare to other games. However for this game I think that the colour has been used correctly because it gives off that mystery kind of environment. In the game Limbo the use of the sound effects has been kept to a minimum but there are some sound effects such as when the character is jumping.

In the game Limbo there are many features within it which makes this game not engaging. The reason why is there are no types of rewards within the game it is a type of game which you just have to play. The game play can be frustrating with the user not knowing what is going on and knowing what they need to do. However the game showed a simple puzzle which has loads of different obstacles which needed to be completed in a logical manner.

 

In conclusion the game is unique even though the game is full of mystery and the user feels like they have entered a lost world with a young boy. The game is a type of game which you want to complete to find out what the story of the game is about. It is a mystery adventure game from the beginning to the end.

Overall limbo is mystery game which creates different types of experience.
