Two console generations ago, the very concept of the indie video game left the siloed corners of the internet and flash sites like Newgrounds to join major platforms. Its debut game Limbo was not only a glowing showcase for game design and a moody thrill ride through a relatably-terrifying unknown. It was the beginning of an new subgenre that paved the way for so many games that came after. It’s clear that Playdead studied the video games greats. Limbo’s legacy makes it one of the most important video games of its time, born out of the golden age of the then-new indie scene.
