also the other children are so evocative and i'm kinda sad that the story didn't develop them any further

i'm such a flake. instead of going we all played limbo.

So tomorrow at Best Buy, the XBLA triple pack disc w/Limbo, Splosion Man, and Trials HD is gonna be $10. Crazy deal, considering Limbo alone costs $15 from XBLA!

oh man, i should've waited a few weeks
― Mordy, Sunday, 17 July 2011 00:05 (thirteen years ago) link
Wouldn't sweat it - you usually can't install these compilations to the HD, and it'll probably be $5 on Steam by the end of the year anyway, since it's going there soon. I do wonder if the other two are worth the $10, tho..

Trials is like my favorite game ever

Looks amazing.

Yeah disappointed about this, I'd been really looking forward to it and it's only when I went to buy it from the psn store today that I realised it's an MS exclusive.
Course Limbo ended up being bundled and/or given away so often that I think I own it on every platform at this stage. So it probably makes sense to just wait until the same starts happening with this.

this is definitely coming to PS4, its just debuting on xbox first. incredible reviews so far.

cool

FUCK, this game is amazing. I haven't finished it yet, probably an hour or so from finishing as I already put in a few hours yesterday. So far the puzzles aren't as complicated as Limbo, but a few of the puzzles took me multiple tries (or deaths) to figure out. The world is so beautifully realized, more so than Limbo. And Playdead really knows how to utilize ambient music at just the right moments to convey epic/creepy moments.

It's pretty bleak. Strong echoes of City 17, minus alyx, dog, or any companionship, plus getting to watch a small boy die in a hundred different gruesome ways.

Ha, are you referring to the ending? Not sure how I feel about that yet. It was moving, not sure what I thought about it yet?
― Rod Steel (musicfanatic), Sunday, 31 July 2016 02:45 (eight years ago) link
I feel like being a petulant child and refusing to breathe until this comes out for mac.
― emil.y, Sunday, 31 July 2016 11:21 (eight years ago) link
It ain't worth it. I mean yeah it's kinda worth it for the looks, especially if you're into the grim and macabre. It's almost worth it just for the wtf ending. But it's so easy, almost to the point of being little more than a walking simulator. Don't think I was taxed by a single puzzle for more than two minutes. By contrast Another World, which this really reminded me of, and I decided to play through after discovering it was available for ipad, flummoxed me into cheating despite having completed it probably three times before.

Out on PS4 on 8/23. :)))

Started playing this last night and I'm so glad this is basically Limbo with some twists, will be sad when it's over (which will probably be tonight, because judging from the little checkpoint dots on the load screen it seems pretty short).
― sam jax sax jam (Jordan), Friday, 26 August 2016 17:46 (eight years ago) link
feel a little guilty about it but thats kinda why i might wait for a sale
― Nhex, Friday, 26 August 2016 17:55 (eight years ago) link
basically Limbo with some twists
the twists are pretty great though
― sam jax sax jam (Jordan), Wednesday, 31 August 2016 14:28 (eight years ago) link
Cocoon (new game from some of the developers who made Limbo/Inside, as I understand it) a great little puzzler so far. My wife loves it, the true sign of success for one of these games. It's pretty brilliant how it introduces and iterates on each mechanic without any text or dialogue. It does seem like it will be pretty short though, we played for 2 hours last night and it says we're already at 44%.
― Jordan s/t (Jordan), Monday, 2 October 2023 17:06 (one year ago) link
Amazing. Loved Inside. Limbo was great but a bit too hard for me. I hope they continue the tradition for unexpected game endings.
― Chuck_Tatum, Thursday, 5 October 2023 11:46 (one year ago) link
Some of the boss fights in this game have such great gimmicks that I don't want to beat them too fast, like the one where you have a mirror image that moves with you but in reverse, and you can teleport to its position. That could be a whole game in itself.
― Jordan s/t (Jordan), Monday, 13 November 2023 15:14 (eleven months ago) link
You talking Cocoon?
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 13 November 2023 15:34 (eleven months ago) link
Yeah
― Jordan s/t (Jordan), Monday, 13 November 2023 15:53 (eleven months ago) link
Cocoon is incredible on a loud sound system btw. Extremely immersive and amazing sub bass
