Gamasutra writes: This week's edition of Critical Reception examines online reaction to Playdead's downloadable Xbox Live Arcade platformer Limbo, which reviews describe as "dark, disturbing, yet eerily beautiful." Limbo currently earns a score of 90 out of 100 at Metacritic.com.
Joystiq's Richard Mitchell gives Limbo 5 out of 5 stars. "Limbo has a rare quality to it: regardless of who actually holds the controller, anyone close enough to watch is automatically transfixed," he claims. "Rather than bombarding you with graphical effects or thumping music, Limbo's distinct lack of visual and aural stimuli makes it most striking. Its true impact is achieved through emptiness, silence and simplicity."
"At its core, Limbo is a puzzle platformer," he writes. "The real outstanding feature, and the thing that will stay with me, is the world. It's bleak, desolate, rendered entirely in shades of black and gray.
