Oh, I loved LIMBO but a lot of that is because the imagery left a really strong impression on me. I'm actually a bit embarrassed that I had such a strong emotional reaction to the ending and some of the stranger events. If the art style doesn't hook you there's not much to recommend LIMBO over other 2D puzzle-platformers.

Right now I'm playing Pokemon Y and Terraria. I'm awful at rating, so I'll just say I enjoy both of them immensely. I love the new affection mechanic in Pokemon Y; it helps makes the Pokemon feel like pets and not just options in a really involved rock-papers-scissors game. And I just like digging around for caves in Terraria. Building stuff is okay, and I've gotten slightly more ambitious in my building designs, but I still find the most joy in digging as deep as I can and coming across underground houses.

Unfortunately for LIMBO, the entire time I was playing it I was comparing it to Journey. That alone left it looking like an artistically disingenuous mess which was dark for the sake of being dark rather than to send any profound message. Also the controls stink. If I had played it first, I might have had a better reaction to it.

I will admit that the first time I saw a dead body I reacted a bit to it, but the more it wore on, the more it wore on me. :|

I just wish there'd been more of the city bits. I liked that part.
