A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I bought it and so I wanted to finish it, especially since it's not all that long. And I don't like leaving things unfinished 😂 And I did really like the art, story and world building.
That makes me feel so-so about it, especially having spent I think around $9 on it (last chance before it getting delisted). I heard there is somewhat more of a story in it? That was one thing holding LIMBO back for me.
Yeah I've heard. Ninja Gaiden series really is a clusterfuck of multiple versions of each release that both add and subtract things. Original NG2 was on 360 unfortunately, and is trapped on that ecosystem. It apparently runs okay on Xenia Canary but I haven't looked into it yet. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. I'm currently thinking playing both NG2 and NG2 Black (those visuals look so good). But... that's all contingent on me beating NGB first! I'll definitely look into that mod, there is also the Ninja Gaiden Sigma Black mod, but I don't know how much they've been able to restore considering the huge differences between Black and Sigma.
Understandable, TBH.
I think I paid about $12 or something, but that was back in 2018 maybe, and it was on Steam, not GOG—I always felt GOG has that DRM-free tax and sales don't go as hard on there.
There is more of a story but not really because of the nature of the story… it's, uh, nonconventional to say the least. It's fantastically bizarre, but in a modern, industrial setting. Definitely more interesting than LIMBO overall. Best way I can put it: it's that scene in Eraserhead where he was walking home in an industrial hellscape, but stretched to a 5-hour game.
Yeah, you're right! I forgot you'll need to setup Xenia to play it, but it's just as easy to set up as Xemu, and runs great.
