The stronger you punch, the better the door. So there are like super strong murderers who punch people into Venetian doors and shit"

I take issue with that. Time puzzles are great.

I have played it.  I've beaten it.  I even had fun with some of its puzzles.  That doesn't mean it's not a bad videogame.  The story and sheer pretentiousness outweigh it's good points.  And if Det's comment is on whether of not it's art, it has the intention of being art, which is what the official definition of art is nowadays, it's just that the art in question was pretentious and bad.  But this thread isn't about what makes art art.  I was making the point that TA's definition of an 'art game' fails to acknowledge what a game is.

Oh, I beat Limbo. [spoiler]Everything after the spider was crate puzzles and therefore no way near as awesome, but there were a few good bits. The last few puzzles were all timing-based, which was lacklustre.[/spoiler]

The final cutscene was... [spoiler]Derp. I don't mean it made me furious, like most indy games I played, it was just, oh, hey, you found your sister, well done.[/spoiler]
