Limbo Review | Hardcore Droid

Limbo places the player in the shoes of a boy who wakes up in the woods, left to wander through a series of darker-than-Grimm hazards in the hopes of finding his sister. The game’s visual style is striking: both the boy and the environments are completely silhouetted in black, with white highlights on lights, fire, and the boy’s eyes. A heavy film grain effect, along with some bold fonts, make the game feel like a silent film, particularly those of the German expressionist movement, like Nosferatu or Metropolis.
