Any image of Limbo is an excellent letter of entry to a world shrouded in a dense and endless haze of mystery that Playdead, as producer, has managed to stand with distinct notes of balance, pulling puzzle after puzzle in the middle of inevitable surprises.
Limbo has a transportive quality that's hard to articulate. It so expertly realizes both its internal gameplay logic and its prevailing aesthetic that it almost creates a sort of reverie as you play, fully removing you from your physical environment and plopping you into this cold, mesmerizing other land. Though you'll find it's a tough place to survive, it might also be one you're in no hurry to leave behind. The game is a masterpiece.

I am encouraging everyone to get out there and get this game, not only will you be entertained but you'll never look at XBLA titles the same again.
Thoughtful puzzles and striking aesthetics make Limbo a cerebral adventure you must experience.
This is an inverted Faustian bargain--will you pay the high price to play the small slice of heaven that lingers in Limbo?
Limbo has brilliant details and some intelligent puzzles, but it has many things that will end up being boring as they're the same as always.
I loved everything about Limbo so much that I went ahead and got it on next gen consoles as well.
