Limbo impressions

I have been playing Limbo one of the summer of arcade games and I have to say that what I've played so far is astounding. I have never played a game where the death of character made me so disturbed. The thing is there is no distractions like background music or boat loads of blood. There is only the focus of what I the player am doing on screen, whether the character I'm controlling or other things I run into are doing those deadly deeds. Even thou there is no apparent story I was totally sucked in thanks to the atmosphere and art style the game presents. The silhouette black and white color style works well for the game and good signs of what to do to solve puzzles as well a forgiving checkpoint system makes the game not frustrating. I will hopefully finish the game tomorrow and give my final thoughts.
