No, buddy, the game is hard, maybe... There's no setting difficulty level

[MASTAN]

No difficulty setting.
Game is not very hard. There are puzzles where you need to think, there are places where you need to act quickly.

You just die a lot and you learn what you do wrong and you have to solve puzzles.
Worst case you can just look at playthrough.

no difficulty setting, hard to 100%, and a medium-hard difficulty to finish. you can watch video walkthrough to make it easier.
some puzzles need extreme timing and won't allow one mistake, which is the main reason of the hard difficulty.

there are checkpoints in each puzzle though.

[MASTAN]

There's secret level that's hard.

Please, don't. Limbo is medium difficulty at best. Even if it was hard, what's the point of playing any game watching/reading a walkthrough? It's a stupid thing to do.

you forgot to quote this:

by your logic, it seems that it's pointless to have a guide section in steam. strangely, there're a lot of guides being made and people are still using it. ;)

the game is easy but puzzles are not so good and you need to die 1/2 times to understand the moves

edit: just completed the secret level and this is hard!

[I have quit gaming]

I'm so bad at solving puzzles. It takes ages and most of the time i end up watching a walktrough. :) So, it all depends on your braaaaiins..

Well the game is like this: Some people have a really HARD time playing it and they restart often but for some people the puzzles are really EASY and they go through them super fast.
It mostly is a game that challenges your mind...

So far, I'd say for the most part it's not difficult in a way that prohibits advancement, but instead requires sometimes dying a few times to learn what you need to do to progress.

I'm pretty terrible at platformers, and I haven't found Limbo frustrating yet, but I am at a puzzle that requires precise timing that I've died like 30 times on, so I took a break. (It's the puzzle with dropping 2 blocks, the saw blade, and jumping up to a ledge. I think I know what to do, but just can't get coordinated enough to make it happen yet). This is the first real frustrating thing I've encountered and it's about 2 hrs in. I'm hopeful I can finish.

edit: No difficulty settings that I'm aware of.

Somentimes is hard, but always funny!
