UFiliphu Novotny I-Humble Indie Bundle V igcwele amathani emidlalo yezinga eliphezulu. Ngeshwa, izoyekwa ezinsukwini ezimbalwa futhi kungaba ihlazo ukulahlekelwa ithuba lokuthenga iziqu ezithakazelisayo ngeshibhile. Kungakho sikulungiselele ukubuyekezwa komdlalo owodwa kusuka kulo lonke iphakheji. Ngaphandle kokungabaza, i-LIMBO inegama elinomsindo kakhulu.
Umdlalo wokuqala wonjiniyela base-Danish Playdead waqala ukubona ukukhanya kosuku ngonyaka odlule. Kodwa-ke, abadlali abaningi bafike kuyo ebangeni elibalulekile, njengoba iMicrosoft ihlela ukuhluka kokuqala kwekhonsoli yayo ye-XBOX. Ngakho-ke, lokhu kushaywa okungalindelekile kufinyelele kwamanye amapulatifomu (PS3, Mac, PC) ngokubambezeleka konyaka. Kodwa ukulinda bekufanele, isikhathi ebesibekiwe asizange sinciphise ukukhanga kwalo mdlalo, noma ngabe itheku ligcine wonke amaphutha owangempela. Futhi njengoba i-Limbo iyingxenye yephakheji elikhulu I-Humble Indie Bundle V, kufanelekile ukukhumbula ukuthi yini eyenza ikhetheke kangaka.
I-Limbo ingase ichazwe njengomdlalo "we-puzzle" noma "hops", kodwa nakanjani ungalindeli i-Mario clone. Kungcono iqhathaniswe nezihloko ezithi Braid noma Machinarium. Yomithathu imidlalo ebalulwe ilethe isitayela sokubukwa esihle nesihlukile, umsindo oncomekayo kanye nemithetho emisha yomdlalo. Nokho, ukusuka lapho, izindlela zabo ziyahluka. Ngenkathi i-Braid noma i-Machinarium ibhejela emhlabeni onemibala engavamile, i-Limbo ikudonsela esithombeni esidala esikukhumbuza ubumnyama nge-vignette yesikrini, ongeke ukwazi ukususa amehlo akho kuso. UBraid usigcwalise ngombhalo omningi, e-Limbo ayikho indaba. Ngenxa yalokho, zombili izihloko aziqondakali ngokulinganayo futhi zivula amathuba amahle okuhumusha kumdlali, umehluko kuphela ukuthi i-Braid ibukeka ibaluleke kakhulu futhi iqunjelwe.
Kuphinde kube nomehluko omkhulu endleleni yokubhekana nomdlali. Yize cishe yonke igeyimu yamanje ifaka ileveli yokufundisa futhi ungumuntu oholwa ngesandla ekuqaleni, ngeke ukuthole okufana nalokhu ku-Limbo. Kuzodingeka uthole izilawuli, indlela yokuxazulula izindida, yonke into. Njengoba ababhali bazivumela bona bazwakale, lo mdlalo wadalwa kwangathi kufanele omunye wezitha zawo awudlale. Onjiniyela kufanele babheke okwesibili izindida ezinzima futhi bengeze umsindo ongabambeki noma isiqephu esibonakalayo, njengokungathi umngane wabo uyadlala esikhundleni salokho. Le ndlela iboniswe kahle kwesinye sezahluko zokuvula, lapho umdlali eqala ukuma engenalutho ebhekene nesicabucabu esikhulu futhi engakwazi ukuzivikela ekuqaleni. Kodwa ngemva kwesikhashana, umsindo wensimbi ongaziwa uzwakala esiteshini esingakwesokunxele. Uma umdlali elunguza emaphethelweni angakwesokunxele kwesikrini, uzobona isicupho phansi esiwele esihlahleni esinomsindo. Ngemva kwesikhashana, wonke umuntu uyaqaphela okulindeleke kubo. Kuyinto encane, kodwa isiza ngokuyisisekelo ukudala isimo sokungaqiniseki nokungabi namandla.

Yebo, lokhu akuwona nje noma yimuphi umdlalo ovamile ovamile. E-Limbo, uzosaba, uthuke, uzoklebhula imilenze yezicabucabu futhi uyibethele ezigxotsheni. Kodwa ngaphezu kwakho konke uzokufa. Izikhathi eziningi. I-Limbo ingumdlalo ononya, futhi uma uzama ukuxazulula inkinga kalula, izokujezisa ngayo. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, isijeziso asisibi kangako, umdlalo uhlala ubuyisela emuva kancane. Futhi, uzoklonyeliswa ngobuwula bakho ngomunye wezithombe ezinyakazayo zokufa. Ngenkathi uzobe uzigxeka ngamaphutha akho aphindaphindwayo isikhashana, ukubona amathumbu omlingiswa wakho egxuma esibukweni kuzogcina kufake ukumamatheka okunenhlamba ebusweni bakho.
Futhi kumelwe kushiwo ukuthi i-Limbo, mhlawumbe ngokuphambene nalokho obekulindelekile, inemodeli ye-physics enhle ngokumangalisayo. Kodwa ngale ndlela umuntu angakwazi ukwenza izinkondlo nganoma yini kusukela ku-physics yamathumbu andizayo kuya ekuthwebuleni izithombe zefilimu okukhumbuza umsindo wesithombe kuye emculweni omangalisayo we-ambient. Ngeshwa, ukucutshungulwa kwe-audiovisual okuhlaba umxhwele akukwazi ukulondoloza ukungalingani kwesigamu sokuqala nesesibili segeyimu. Engxenyeni yokuvula, uzohlangana nemicimbi eminingi ebhalwe phansi (futhi yileyo kanye edala isimo sokwesaba nokungaqiniseki), kuyilapho ingxenye yesibili iwukulandelana nje kwemidlalo eyanda eyinkimbinkimbi nesikhala. Umphathi we-Playdead ngokwakhe, u-Arnt Jensen, uvumile ukuthi uye wavumela izimfuno zakhe esikhathini esizayo sokuthuthuka futhi ngaleyo ndlela wavumela i-Limbo ukuba ingene emdlalweni we-puzzle, okuyinto eyihlazo elikhulu.
Ngenxa yalokho, umuntu angase akhethe okuhlangenwe nakho okufushane kodwa okuqinile futhi okungenani inhlansi yendaba. Ngisho nokucabangela intengo yayo, i-Limbo inesikhathi esifushane sokudlala - amahora amathathu kuya kwayisithupha. Lona umdlalo omuhle ozokleliswa phakathi kwezihloko ezintsha ezifana ne-Mirror's Edge, Portal noma Braid. Sifisela i-Playdead inhlanhla esikhathini esizayo futhi sithemba ukuthi ngeke bayijahe kakhulu ngokuzayo.
