LIMBO

LIMBO is the debut title from Playdead ApS, a Copenhagen-based development team headed by former IO Interactive (the folks behind Hitman) developer Arnt Jensen, who came up with the idea for LIMBO back in 2004 and teamed up with Dino Patti to form the company in 2006 for more or less the sole purpose of developing this one game. As the project grew and they gained more grants and investments, they expanded to hire more people, perhaps most notably Jeppe Carlsen, the lead gameplay designer of LIMBO who went on to release rhythm platformer 140 and twin-stick shooter THOTH.

Blasphemous

While there’s nothing inherently negative about the terms ‘Souls-like’ or ‘Metroidvania’, you could hardly say that the indie scene had experienced a shortage of either of these genres at any point in the last five years. One could happily play a hundred games that tried to do ‘Dark Souls but 2D’ with a bit of Symphony of the Night thrown in – which is fortunate for me, because that’s approximately how many are released each week – but in such a competitive market, the developer would have to nail absolutely everything in order to stand out; a cast, setting and plot with thematic consistency of tragedy, but not hopelessness. A satisfying and extremely replayable gameplay loop that’s reliably difficult, but not irritatingly so. And a world so beautifully broken that it manages to be awful and awe-inspiring at the same time. Enter Blasphemous.
