Decided to play Limbo because I'm in the mood for something relatively short. I have no idea how I feel about this game. Well, I do. I like it so far for kind of a trail and error type of puzzle platformer. I personally like trial and error games that force you to use your surroundings and awareness to figure out how to move forward in the game.

My main two problems, granted are nitpicky. As much as like the aesthetic and artstyle it does some what cause it to be confusing on what you are supposed to do. I took me a few tries to realize I had to move a log into the water to escape/make it across, but it wasn't explicit until I figured I would try it out. Game does a good job and subverting some expectations on how to solve a puzzle, but then it also throws it out the window on the next one. The first Pressure point puzzle for instance makes it look like it if you press a switch it will drop down-it doesn't- you need to avoid the block-but then the very next puzzle-same premise- but this time avoid the block/switch.

The game does a good job of kind of showing you through just paying attention on how to solve certain puzzles, but other ones it's just dumb. I don't want to say it's not fair because this whole game kind of revolves around you figuring it out by dying. The pressure point one was just stupid.
