Xbox Game Pass Adds the Classic Limbo to Its Library!
Hey there, fellow gamers! Get ready to dive into the eerie and captivating world of Limbo as Xbox Game Pass adds this critically acclaimed gem to its collection on August 9th. If you haven’t experienced Limbo’s mind-bending puzzles and haunting atmosphere, now is your chance!
Limbo, released in 2010, quickly became a sensation in the gaming world. In fact, it was the third highest-selling game on the Xbox Live Arcade at the time. With its unique art style, challenging gameplay, and thought-provoking narrative, Limbo won numerous awards and cemented developer Playdead’s reputation as master storytellers.
The success of Limbo paved the way for Playdead’s next title, Inside, which continued to explore the studio’s signature themes. Now, with Playdead working on their third game (published by Epic Games), we can’t help but wonder if lightning will strike again.
But let’s focus on Limbo for now. In this side-scrolling adventure, you’ll take control of an unnamed boy on a quest to find his sister. Be warned, though, as gruesome deaths and mind-bending puzzles await you at every turn. The physics-based gameplay and environmental interactions add depth to the overall experience, while the black and white aesthetics and minimal sound design create a truly immersive atmosphere. It’s no wonder why Limbo is often hailed as one of the best games of 2010, and even of all time!
