The atmosphere in Limbo is incredible. It's quite short; 3- 5 hours maybe, but it doesn't really matter. Too long would ruin the effect.
Style-wise, it's simple and beautiful. It feels creepy (that silhouette looks oddly like a child...) and the puzzles are challenging, but won't make you want to kill someone. I've recommended it to a lot of friends, and they're all loved it.
I ended up buying this twice- first though steam, then this special edition, because it looks so pretty, and honestly I mainly just wanted the sticker.
Only mild complaint is I expected more to be in there. I don't know why. Maybe because I felt the 3D glasses were just, well, 3D glasses, and so the only difference between this and the Steam version is the sticker and art cards. Which are cool! But didn't QUITE feel like enough to justify buying it twice. Oh well, I just like owning things. And this is a pretty neat thing to own.

If you are looking at this you probably already own Limbo like me. I am someone who likes a physical copy of something special, mainly CD's. But Limbo with out of a doubt is one of the best games I have ever played. I put it up there with sonic on the genesis (megadrive) and a few others. If you enjoyed Sonic as a child you will enjoy this as an adult. An atmospheric platformer which makes you think. There isn't a single area which I can fault. I bought this for Martin Stig Anderson's soundtrack which is worth more than the price. You want something which has a nostalgic feel in the present day which sucks you in? BUY LIMBO!

4.0 out of 5 stars Limbo Special Edition PC/MAC
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 May 2013
Verified Purchase
Limbo is a great puzzle game. The art-style may be fairly simple, however make no mistake that this means the gameplay is equally simple. In fact, the art-style is a component of the gameplay. The bleak, dim darkness that is the environment of which you play in, hides various objectives and surprises than can often lead you to your own demise. Whilst playing, you tread with much trepidation to progress through the many challenges that await you.

The soundtrack in the game, and included on the CD of this special edition version, is equally atmospheric and adds to the tension of the game. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun game, with great 3D effect using a standard monitor.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 April 2015
Verified Purchase
I found this game several years after it came out. While late - it's better than never because it's a great game. The graphics suite the game well, and help create a very encompassing environment and mood.

The 3D effect is great!

Interestingly, typing SHIFT + 3 + D on any version of the game will shift to 3D mode, (and SHIFT + 2 + D will exit 3D mode),
I found I sometimes had to type it more than once to toggle the effect.
So if you have the 3D glasses (red and cyan) - you can enjoy 3D without needing to buy the collectors edition.

Though for collectors of games and their packaging, it's a nice unit... The box, some cards with artwork on them, a sticker of the hero's head, the 3D glasses, and a CD.

The game itself is ok. Was bought out of curiosity. The 3D doesn't work - in fact it's rubbish. Looking at reviews on You Tube there was sound effects at least, however I get complete silence. Is this really how it's meant to be?

2.0 out of 5 stars Too short
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 April 2015
This game is very pretty and the gameplay is interesting at points but it is far too short, I know the length of a game shouldn't really be a factor in how enjoyable it is but I personally enjoy a longer game (8 plus hours) and that's just my opinion. So if you want to play a pretty game that'll take a little under two hours to finish then Limbo's the game for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for the price but not the best SE in the world.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 October 2013

I've got the game on XBLA and loved it, who cares if it's a bit short. Quality not quantity.

The contents are good, not the best. The 3D glasses are a bit cheap but the sticker is good although it has no stroke so if your sticking it on something black you won't notice it. The art cards are nice and all but I really love the box, don't know why.
You do get a steam key which is nice but I dunno. It's not the best special edition in the world. More could have been done.

Tutto praticamente ottimo: i tempi di consegna, la confezione, il gioco, poi, è molto ma molto bello, l'unica cosa che si potevano risparmiare sono gli occhialini 3D.
Inutili, stucchevoli e quasi inefficaci, dato che il gioco è un 2d a scorrimento orizzontale.
Per il resto: ottimo prodotto.

5.0 out of 5 stars Limbo
Reviewed in Germany on 18 June 2014
Verified Purchase
Ein wunderschönes Spiel mit einzigartiger Grafik. Gleich beim auspacken sieht man was Sache ist - rote Markierung, ab 18. Kein Spiel für Kinder.
Die Lieferung dauert ein paar Tage, aber der Pckungsinhalt ist offenbar identisch mit der in Deutschland vertriebenen Version. Es lässt sich in deutscher Sprache installieren, was nur für die Übersicht in den Einstellungen wichtig ist. Die Anforderungen an die Hardware sind überraschend hoch; es läuft schlecht auf Laptops mit onboard Grafik. Aber die Effekte rechtfertigen den Aufwand. Der 3D Modus gefällt mir nicht so gut. Der Effekt ist schon zu sehen, aber sehr anstrengend. Für das Spiel selbst ist er unnötig.

Je nach Geschick und Kombinationsvermögen ist das spiel recht schnell durchzuspielen - etwa einige Stunden. Der reiz es nochmals zu spielen ist gering, da man die Rätsel schon kennt. Aber man kann es ja weiterverschenken.

Reviewed in France on 17 March 2014

En plus de la joie d'acquérir avec ce produit un très bon jeu indé s'ajoute celle de l'obtenir dans une édition collector de très jolie facture se présentant sous la forme d'un fourreau cartonné noir entouré d'une bande de couleur crème portant le titre du jeu. A l'intérieur, le jeu (pas de surprise jusque là), un sticker à l’effigie du héro, une paire de lunettes 3D à l'ancienne (carton blanc, "verres" rouge et bleu), un très joli lot de cartes imprimées d'artworks du soft et enfin, cerise sur cadavre en décomposition (les fans du jeu comprendront), une clé d'activation STEAM.

Une fois n'est pas coutume, un petit développeur met la honte aux plus grands, offrant aux joueurs un jeu de qualité et une édition spéciale à bas prix sans être cheap une seule seconde (on repensera à l'hideuse figurine de la seconde édition collector de Skyrim). Electronic Arts et autres UbiSoft, prenez-en de la graine...

5.0 out of 5 stars Gran juego de plataformas-"puzzles"
Reviewed in Spain on 19 October 2012
Verified Purchase
Es un gran juego con una mezcla entre plataformas y puzzles, la estética visual del juego es simplista pero al mismo tiempo preciosa, incluso en los "puzzles" mas difíciles no te cansas de probar una y otra vez hasta conseguirlo y es realmente muy gratificante.

*Banda Sonora [Solo en MP3]
*Tarjetas con escenas del juego
*Gafas 3D para poder jugarlo en 3D
*Una pegatina de la cabeza del personaje
*Código de activación para tenerlo también en Steam y por consiguiente poder hacer logros.

Otro imprescindible para los que les guste este tipo de juegos y también para los que quieran probar cosas nuevas [Yo sin ir mas lejos empecé a jugar estos juegos desde la completa ignorancia y me engancharon].

xbox本体を持っていなかったのと、steamで買おうにも当時学生で安易に買うのも怖かったのでこちらで購入しました。

まず、輸入盤ですがPCに入れる際に日本語を選択できます。
そのままでも十分プレイは可能ですが、トロフィーなどの実績解放をして楽しみたいのならsteamの製品コードが同封されていたのでsteamに導入して楽しめばいいと思います。
(そのままプレイでは実績はつかないんじゃないか･･･と思います。)

個人的には満足してます。
ただ、もっと安く購入したいのならsteam等で買ったほうが安く収まるとは思います。
