I see what you mean about fallout 3, it reminds me of stalker. Kind of an action rpg FPS.<br /><br />Always good to have a short game too. Picking up something epic that I know is going to take many hours sometimes kills it before I get started.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10037602872274407171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598877299622973005.post-37791464387891716802011-07-24T10:46:14.526-04:002011-07-24T10:46:14.526-04:00@Robert - you know, I have trouble with defining p...@Robert - you know, I have trouble with defining portal. It looks like a shooter, but that's sort of like calling Fallout 3 a shooter. There's some mechanics there, but other elements made it an rpg as well.<br /><br />Limbo's a fairly short game however - so the urge for additional playthroughs was nice.Chalgyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879608925209948366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598877299622973005.post-18533697037920364822011-07-24T01:50:13.056-04:002011-07-24T01:50:13.056-04:00Great review, even better than the first. :) I&#...Great review, even better than the first. :) I'm very excited for the Steam release, but also pretty realistic (time-wise) so it probably wont be a pre-release purchase. Maybe wait until the Winter sale. Hey, Limbo in winter just makes sense, right?<br /><br />I'm a pretty big platforming fan behind FPS's, or at least most anything first person. Is portal really a shooter?

Platformers are definitely not at the top of my list from a genre standpoint, but something about Limbo really, really struck a positive note with me. I've played through it several times now, and each time I've noticed other small details that I didn't before and try to put them to the context of what I think the story is trying to say.Chalgyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879608925209948366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598877299622973005.post-82681381000544315652011-07-22T21:44:46.517-04:002011-07-22T21:44:46.517-04:00I think this would have to be the most artistic ga...I think this would have to be the most artistic game I've played in years.<br /><br />Brilliant review! I can't imagine anyone not enjoying this game - even I did, and I don't like platformers as a rule of thumb.Matt Sainsburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102427451460905581noreply@blogger.com
