Limbo


The game Limbo was very confusing and frustrating.  There was nothing that told you  what controls to use, what the purpose of the game was or the background of the game.  The fact that the setting of the game is  very dark and ambiguous makes this game more confusing.  This confusing and frustrating aspect of the game, along with the blank setting goes with the concept of what limbo is, a place where the dead wonder aimlessly until some kind of criteria is met which allows, in a religious aspect the soul to either go to paradise or damnation.  This game seems to play with this concept because the player has to solve these puzzles in order to find what lies at the end.  Dying in this game has no consequence, expect to restart at certain areas which also plays with the repeating the same actions over and over again.
