I was unsure about what to have in my first post. Eventually, I decided upon discussing about one of my vaourite games; Limbo.

Limbo was available via STEAM for PC and X-Box, as I do not spend much time on the X-Box as much as anything else, I bought it for my PC.

It took me a while at first to figure out why it was an 18+, until I died for the first time. I gradually understood, as in my view the game had horrific ways of killing a child.

I found it quite hard to complete. Some of the puzzles were rather easy, but the odd mind controlling leech jockeys were horribly frustrating.

I loved the overall game though. It took me until the end of the game to understand the full plot, but I did eventually find out this:

-
Spoiler
The annonymous boy you play as woke up in the edge of hell, aka "Limbo", supposably with his sister. He goes through all the traps to look for his sister, and wishes to find out her fate.

What I love the most about the game is the use of sillhouettes for the gameplay, and the background sounds giving it an eerie strike of psychological fear.
I am even debating whether or not I should do a walkthrough for youtube.

What is your opinion of Limbo? Was it easy or hard?

I loved this game. It was one of the best arcade games I have ever encountered on the Xbox 360. However, I am ashamed to say that I got stuck in the game with a certain puzzle involving pulling ropes to bring pillars up so that I could cross. After what seemed like hours, I gave up. I went at it again some time later, but failed a game. To me, it was moderately easy until that one puzzle.

Oh that puzzle? It's a bit tricky, and if you resort to Game FAQs, it kinda makes you die a little inside, but LIMBO is probably the best Arcade game I have on my Xbox.

Christ Limbo is an awesome ride along the Lazy River of Easiness that eventually throws a bear at you and plays Slipknot in the background as it watches the ensuing frustration.

I don't think its hard, there is some parts where the puzzle can be a little difficult, but not an uncompleteable game :-)

Very good game to play. As oliver says, it's not an uncompleteable game, however i do find it quite difficult to play. That said, it's also bery enjoyable to play.

It's a great game, but it's not too hard. There are a few parts that seem hard, but if people want a walkthrough it's not too hard to find. Besides the game is amazing and it feels better to figure it out yourself.
