You get an understanding of what happened in this foreign monochromatic land as you solve puzzles. Instead, the narrative is explained to you via gameplay. There is no cinematic to explain the story. You play as an older brother, carrying your powerless sibling on your back as you make your way across a dystopian post-war 1950’s landscape. But in Monochroma, there are 2 characters. In Limbo, you’re playing alone and taking the boy across a purgatory filled with nightmarish creatures. Thanks to its backers, we got one of the most interesting platformers of 2016. Made by a studio based out of Istanbul, Monochroma was crowdfunded on Kickstarter. Otto can also activate power switches scattered across the environment. There are two characters who work in tandem- Albert and Otto.īoth have their unique powers Albert can shoot and leap while Otto the bunny can fit into small spaces.
You have superpowers and gunplay these provide you with various options to clear levels. However, the color palette is switched around so now you’ve got white terrain.Īnd while Limbo was more about avoiding confrontation, this game provides you with tools to take on enemies directly. Another black and white 2D puzzle platformer with environmental hazards and horrifying monsters who want to rip your guts out. If you take a close look at this game, it seems very similar to Limbo. I made a list of 15 games like Limbo that you should definitely check out if you’re a fan of puzzle platformers. Not traditional puzzle platformers, but games that rely on the light-dark dynamic with a slight horror theme. Recently, I was looking for games like Limbo. But with a weird nightmarish world that is almost completely devoid of light. Limbo had no lengthy cinematic cutscenes and it was essentially a 2D platformer.
It’s a game that my friend in college showed me one evening, and I was immediately hooked by the visual style. Limbo is a game that I played way back in the day, but it left a lasting impression on my mind.
