Picked this one up during a Steam sale. Long story short, if you see this for $5 or lower, buy it. It's a bit overpriced for $10.
Amazingly beautiful game, which is saying something since it has zero color. It is also pretty brilliant in its gameplay and puzzles.
Limbo is a side scroller, and isn't very long, but its very, very good in what it does, and it creating an amazing world with a unique atmosphere. Nothing seems out of place. Everything "fits" from the that chases you (how fucking awesome are those moments?) to the gravity machines to the machine guns to the mosquito...
Limbo's biggest weakness? I have no clue what the game is about or what the ending meant. Oh, and it's pretty short. You'll beat it in an evening.
I've heard a lot of people comparing this to Braid, and look, Braid was a decent game, but quite honestly, it was as annoying as it was good. Only someone with nothing to do or with a mental defect would sit there trying to figure out all the puzzles of Braid. Limbo is far better looking, and more importantly, far more accessible and fun.
For an indy game at a $5 price point this is an easy 9 out of 10. (If it was a bit longer and the plot was more defined, it'd be 10 out of 10.)

I liked Braid. I never noticed any puzzles that required much thinking, though, it was just a slightly odd and interesting platformer. Did I miss out on parts of it?
I guess I'll have to try Limbo.

$2.49 for the next few hours. You can't go wrong at that price.
