Video game, Limbo

When I heard the video game called Limbo, the first thought that came in mind was the game that play with the stick. So I was not that excited about the game. However, when I came to the class, and figured out that it was completely different, I was kind of interested about it.

The game is colored with black, grey and white, which attracks the audiences’ eyes with the violence, brutality, and darkness of the main character. It is interesting to see that all the negative factors can be shown with only three colors.

As the game is playing, it is hard to figure out that how many levels are there, and does the game have the end. It did not tell wheather the player finished the level, it was just continuous. The big difference was that the main character has endless lives so the player can play for a while.

As the main character is going through the situations that are given, the around objects, such as box, cart, rope etc, sometimes eaten by spider can be helped to go through the situations. However, it was hard to figure out how to use those objects. Also, when he dies, it was really brutality. So sometimes, it was hard for me to watch it.
