Hi how are you Stemian all over Indonesia? This time I will discuss Limbo games.
I have never played Limbo before but I already know that this game has received many awards so my expectations are a little high. Not to mention the price is quite premium upscale Rp. 49,000. So can you guess I'm very curious about this game, so if you have the same curiosity then let me follow into this dark and mysterious Limbo review.
Gameplay
Playing Limbo first does not feel like playing another game. At the beginning of the game you will be immediately greeted with an opening scene where the light begins to emerge from the darkness. But after a while nothing has happened and you will be a bit confused, there is no game start button or tutorial. I even think this game crashes or hangs but when tap and slide blindly on the screen to try something then the character on the screen starts to move and dititik that you enter into the world of amazing Limbo.
Just like the character of a child we play, we as a player will also be confused with the game. This makes us feel also the child's confusion, no tutorial how to play or interface. This game also only features pause and rewind only.
Your task in this game is to guide the child through the dark plains to reach the final destination. Along the way you will begin to know what's going on. Relax, there will not be spoilers in the reviews this time, just in case you decide to buy it. To move your character simply swipe and hold it towards the front or back and the child will start moving in that direction. You can also swipe up to jump.
As you walk you will find traps, hindrances and enemies. Your job is to find a way to get through that hurdle, but here's where the excitement of the game is. For example you will find a trolley that is blocking your path so you have to pull it. Here you can walk closer to the trolley and then our character will start holding the trolley, you can tap and hold the trolley towards the back to pull it. But remember this is all not being told you should try it yourself with your wits and find new controls.
As the game continues the obstacles and pitfalls become more difficult and creative. One of my favorite parts at the beginning of this game is when you face a giant spider. You are required to use a trap to break the spider's legs but the trap lies on a tall tree. The solution is simple, sensible and requires patience.
The beauty of Limbo's game is that there are rarely any similar traps or obstacles. Every time you go through an area then the obstacles you face are always different and that's what makes it a very solid game. But on the other hand you will often die in this game (hundreds of times) because this game is not designed to be solved in 1 way. Usually you should observe what happens if you do a or b, sometimes even a puzzle can be solved just by staying and waiting for something to happen.
This is where Limbo also brings his element of surprise, when you're walking slowly suddenly there is a giant spider coming and then rolling you into a cocoon. Or when jumping over a platform that looks pretty safe suddenly heavy metal traps fall from above. It will surprise you, not to mention the dark atmosphere.
Presentation
Limbo as you see is dominated by black. But it still looks good, you can still see the object clearly because of the use of clear color gradations. Depth of field is also well described so that although 2D but still memorable 3D.
There is no music in this game but there will be sound effects such as spinning wheel, trap covered and others. Uniquely this game also has no interface, there is only a pause button on the screen and does not also have a main menu. Once you enter Limbo you actually jump into the game.
Pricing & IAP
Limbo is sold at Rp. 49.000, although for the size of mobile games is expensive but when compared with the PC version (Steam) for $ 9.99 then this mobile version is somewhat cheaper. You will be presented with 40 chapters in this game and any average hurdles can be completed within 3-5 minutes (if not repeat, which is not possible). So with the price of Rp. 49.000 You will get a long playing time.
The price of Rp.49.000 for Limbo I refer to as slightly above average but not too expensive. When buying a game you would expect a full gaming experience, and that's what you'll get in Limbo with your money.
Verdict
Limbo easily became the best game I've ever played this year. Traps and obstacles that exist in this game is designed with a very smart, unique and creative. But at the same time we can also use logic to solve it because Limbo is not a puzzle game that the solution is too "magical". You must have this one game.
