Limbo

If I described "Limbo" as simply a "platformer", you might not give a damn.
But you might care more If I described it thus:
An atmospheric and often macabre physics based platformer, that marries beautiful monochrome visuals, a great sense of depth, subtle sound design and intuitive gameplay. You wake up in a dark wood. Progressing to the right, as all platformers do, you slowly tackle increasingly tricky puzzles to navigate a dark and dangerous world, full of questions and few answers. Who are you? Where are you? Why are you here? The physics enabled gameplay is subtle and forgiving, yet provides an engaging and realistic experience, while the animation of the characters is simply perfect. Knowing nothing about your objective, you progress through a dimly lit, oppressive world trying to find your purpose...
It's only £7 on Steam. I really urge you to get it, it's a beautifully designed and very well executed, atmospheric game:
