Anglais Limbo is a side-scrolling puzzle platformer set in a sinister, monochromatic world. The player controls a protagonist simply known as the The Boy, who is said to enter the world Limbo in search of his sister. However, the story as a whole can also be seen as a metaphor for the search for companionship and getting around in a new environment. Not a single clue is given at the start, there are no cut-scenes and the game starts right away. In that world filled with hazards and danger, his means are few and he is extremely vulnerable. Only two buttons are used, a feeble jump and one to perform an action, combined with movement. This allows him to explore the world and hang on ledges, slide down slopes, push objects, pull levers, and cling to ropes, but the player has to make most of what is present in the environment to get by, often with physics-based elements.

The gloomy world has a dusty filter showing the game through misted glass, and no vivid colours are present. It is divided into 24 chapters that seamlessly flow into each other, only from the level selection in the main menu can be derived where a new chapter starts. The world is rendered in 2D but with different layers of depth in the scenery. It moves from a forest to an abandoned city and eventually an industrial zone. The player faces three kinds of challenges. There are obstacles where The Boy simply needs to find a way to progress, there are dangerous creatures that hunt him down and try to kill them, and finally there is a gang of children who band together to ward off the intruder and set up traps for him, with a touch of Lord of the Flies. Encounters with other humans are however brief and rare. These account for most of the horror moments, of the psychological kind, with other unnerving sequences like when the player is forced to use the corpses of other children as a bridge.

Music and sound effects are minimal and there are no on-screen elements referring to health or other statistics. Every single misstep, often with gruesome consequences, is fatal. In the same vein the boy cannot jump from great heights or jump very far. When dead, the game immediately reloads before the current puzzle. Most of the encounters are centered around puzzles and these are sometimes based on timing or speed when being chased. Other elements serve only for setting the scene, when The Boy gets to ride a boat to cross a lake (he cannot swim and drowns immediately) or finds the corpses of the people who did not make it in Limbo. Most of the game elements are discovered through experimentation, like the effects of a glowing worm that attaches itself to The Boy's head, changing the flow of gravity, or what happens when a giant spider captures him. There is only a single path through the levels and generally there is only a single solution to a problem.

Espagnol Limbo es un puzzle-platformer en 2D con desplazamiento lateral, ambientado en un mundo monocromático y siniestro. Controlas a The Boy, un niño que entra en Limbo en busca de su hermana, aunque la historia puede interpretarse como una metáfora de soledad y adaptación. Sin introducciones ni tutoriales, exploras entornos peligrosos usando solo salto, acción y movimiento, interactuando con elementos físicos para resolver acertijos. A través de 24 capítulos que fluyen sin pausas, pasarás de bosques a ciudades abandonadas y zonas industriales, enfrentando trampas, criaturas letales y breves encuentros con otros humanos. Cada error es fatal y la reaparición es inmediata, manteniendo una atmósfera inquietante con música y efectos mínimos. Los puzles, a menudo basados en física, tiempo o velocidad, se descubren por experimentación, mientras avanzas en un mundo hostil y opresivo donde cada paso cuenta.

Français Limbo sur le PlayStation Store de la PlayStation Vita est un jeu de plates-formes dans lequel le joueur est plongé dans un univers monochrome et mystique. Le jeu joue sur l'ombre et la lumière pour installer une ambiance bien particulière. Il joue en outre sur la capacité des environnements à tourner sur eux-mêmes. Le joueur est malmené et doit trouver un moyen d'atteindre la fin de chaque niveau.
