omfg spider!
I finished playing Limbo.

It's fascinating how a pretty standard puzzle platformer can be changed into something scarily beautiful and unique with just a special visual style. It works for Limbo, though I don't really see the "philosophically provocative" aspect some people seem to get out of it. Anyway, the game is fun, you die a lot and you get that feeling of satisfaction whenever you solve a puzzle.

The only downside I guess I can agree with reviewers is its length. For 10€ you get a game that experienced puzzlers will probably finish in about 2 hours. According to Steam I played for 3 hours, and I needed help for a few puzzles.
Something I quite liked about Braid goes for this one too: Once you figure out how to solve it, you can just do it, there's not a lot of dexterity or timing involved.

Also, spider:
