Limbo
Limbo is on a variety of devices but these screenshots are from the PS Vita version. The game gives you no instructions - you just wake up in a field as a little boy. There is no dialogue throughout the entire game.
I thought the atmosphere was very effective and was usually quite creepy. Even though you play as a little boy, you frequently die in quite gruesome ways. I tried to get screenshots showing this so you'd be properly forewarned before playing.
The gameplay tends to be puzzle-solving in nature, but often requires precise jumping and platforming skills. You get infinite lives so there's likely to be a lot of trial and error - unless you're up for the ultimate challenge of beating the game without dying! Lots of people were enamored with the storyline - specifically the ending - but I'm in the camp of thinking the ending is overrated. But hey - the gameplay is more important anyway.
