Limbo Review (playboi14)
A really excellent game. I picked this one up to play on the Steamdeck and I'm super happy with how it performs, it runs at a locked 90FPS without any audio, video or control issues, you boot it up and it works flawlessly.
The game itself is about 45m long from start to finish, so about 60-90m if you're playing for the first time (expect lots of deaths while you learn the puzzles)
There's two really brutal achievements here, I thought I'd outline them here in case anyone else wants to achievement hunt.
1) Completing the hidden level, which you can only get by collecting all of the secret eggs in the game. This level is incredibly difficult, with most of the level being in pitch black, so you need to listen to audio cues for when you need to jump and run. You'll need a guide for this one because it's brutal. The only saving grace is when you die you don't start the level over again, you respawn close to where you died.
2) Beating the game with a maximum of 5 deaths. This one was hands down one of the hardest achievements I've completed, even though the game is only 40m long you can die on dozens on traps, costing you a life.
There's about 6 really difficult sections in the game where you need to play perfectly, with the end final jump being arguably the most difficult to master (and where I lost multiple runs )
Even though you can use the chapter select to play the difficult sections and practice, it's doing the run from start to finish thats a killer. It took about 8 hours for me to get this one but I'm super happy I stuck it out because it really tests your mastery of the game.
There's a few full playthroughs and even a few deathless runs but you'll only get this one if you keep playing and master each of the tricky puzzles.
100% recommend this game, it's an absolute gem
