Limbo

However, the story as a whole can also be seen as a metaphor for the search for companionship and getting around in a new environment.

Not a single clue is given at the start, there are no cut-scenes and the game starts right away.

In that world filled with hazards and danger, his means are few and he is extremely vulnerable.

Only two buttons are used, a feeble jump and one to perform an action, combined with movement.

This allows him to explore the world and hang on ledges, slide down slopes, push objects, pull levers, and cling to ropes, but the player has to make most of what is present in the environment to get by, often with physics-based elements.

The gloomy world has a dusty filter showing the game through misted glass, and no vivid colours are present.

It is divided into 24 chapters that seamlessly flow into each other, only from the level selection in the main menu can be derived where a new chapter starts.

The world is rendered in 2D but with different layers of depth in the scenery.

It moves from a forest to an abandoned city and eventually an industrial zone.

The player faces three kinds of challenges.

There are obstacles where The Boy simply needs to find a way to progress, there are dangerous creatures that hunt him down and try to kill them, and finally there is a gang of children who band together to ward off the intruder and set up traps for him, with a touch of Lord of the Flies .

Encounters with other humans are however brief and rare.

These account for most of the horror moments, of the psychological kind, with other unnerving sequences like when the player is forced to use the corpses of other children as a bridge.

Music and sound effects are minimal and there are no on-screen elements referring to health or other statistics.

Gamevaro hasn't tracked a market sale for Limbo (PlayStation 3) yet, so no current value is available. Prices are sourced from real marketplace sales, and this page will update automatically once sales data comes in.

No market sales have been tracked yet for Limbo, which could mean it rarely changes hands or that Gamevaro simply hasn't recorded a sale for it yet.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. These are tracked as separate market values because the price gap between them can be significant, especially for older releases.
