The last game I played in 2019. Limbo was surprisingly fun, considering I have little patience for games that simply rely on puzzle solving and offer little progression in the story as reward. There's not a lot of explanation given here, as to who or where we are. You play as an unnamed boy in a bleak world, dodging giant insects and a vicious band of boys, all in pursuit of a mysterious girl who remains just out of reach.
I badly want to go through interpretations of the game, they really intrigued me; however, doing that will surely mean venturing into spoiler territory. In no way do I want to deter the handful of people who read my entries from skipping this one because of spoilers. I went through several articles on the internet in order to wrap my head around the game and there are some very interesting theories out there which sound credible too. I'd advise playing the game first - won't take more than 4-5 hours - and then going through the theories and explanations for the next half an hour to round off the perfect Limbo experience. You have an idea of what to expect from the game if you've played Inside. If not, let Limbo be your introduction to the world of Playdead's puzzle games.
Play it for the ending.
