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.

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?

I feel like being a petulant child and refusing to breathe until this comes out for mac.

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.

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 (seven 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 (seven years ago) link
basically Limbo with some twists
the twists are pretty great though

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%.

Amazing. Loved Inside. Limbo was great but a bit too hard for me. I hope they continue the tradition for unexpected game endings.

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.

You talking Cocoon?
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 13 November 2023 15:34 (six months ago) link
Yeah

Cocoon is incredible on a loud sound system btw. Extremely immersive and amazing sub bass
