Metacritic Score: 88.5
Limbo starts off as a very mysterious game, in that you have to keep playing to truly understand the game and the story. It is a puzzle game, wherein the player controls a boy tackling various obstacles before moving to the next area. The game features a black and white theme coupled with an eerie atmosphere. Limbo was so successful that it was named the third highest selling game on Xbox Live during the year of its release, a great feat for an indie game. With its success financially and critically, there is no doubt of its position at the top of the 11 most successful indie games of all time.
