Limbo

Date played: August 15th
Platform: PS4
Session fun rating: 7/10

I finished Limbo!

While it's a very short game, it had some pretty cool puzzles and platforming challenges. A lot of the game is based on timing jumps at the right time while reacting to moving objects and such. I swung from ropes, climbed ladders, avoided giant saw blades, pushed boxes and solved dozens of puzzles.

Some of the later puzzles were really tough. The game adds large magnets to the gameplay, which makes moving large objects a complicated ordeal. There were also a few segments where I was able to reverse gravity with a button, making for some pretty spectacular sequences. I like Limbo a lot and I hope that team makes another game sometime.
