Top 10 games like Limbo on mobile

The game is quite old as it came out in 1991 and was re-released in 2005 and 2013. The character is Lester Knight Chaykin. This is a young scientist and physicist who regularly conducts various experiments, and the last one was unsuccessful. The synchrotron was struck by lightning, resulting in the scientist ending up on another planet. Now, he has one task - to survive. He will have to fight unknown dangerous monsters and bypass technical traps. Meeting with humanoids doesn't do him any good either as they imprison him and plan to kill him.
