Plattform: PC Veröffentlicht: 06.08.2008

Preis Update 26.10.24

Die mit viel Liebe zum Detail gestalteten Retro-Grafiken der fünf großen und abwechslungsreichen Spielwelten werden durch eine atmosphärische Hintergrundmusik ergänzt. Die Steuerung per Tastatur oder Gamepad ist simpel und auch für Genre-Neulinge schnell zu erlernen. Der Schwierigkeitsgrad steigt während des Spiels langsam, aber kontinuierlich an – und sorgt so für immer neue Herausforderungen. Da es für die meisten Knobelaufgaben nicht nur eine, sondern eine Vielzahl von Lösungsmöglichkeiten gibt, besitzt BRAID einen sehr hohen Wiederspielwert.

So sind die meisten der kniffligen Rätselaufgaben beispielsweise nur durch die Ausnutzung von Tims Spezialfähigkeiten zu meistern. Zu diesen gehört unter anderem die Option auf Knopfdruck die Zeit anzuhalten und die Handlung bis zu einem beliebigen Punkt zurück zu spulen. Auf diese Weise die eigenen Bildschirmtode ungeschehen zu machen, ist dabei nur ein angenehmer Nebeneffekt: Schalter wieder zurück zu legen, Hebebühnen zurück zu fahren, Gegner in ihre Ausgangsposition zu versetzen und vieles Mehr sind die für die Bewältigung eines jeden Levels viel wertvollere Effekte dieser Fähigkeit.

Das Spiel ist echt gut.
Die Rätsel sind manchmal etwas schwer, aber insgesamt sehr gut und abwechslungsreich.
Das Gameplay, die Grafik und die Hintergrundmusik sind gut und stimmungsvoll. (Einziges Manko war, dass das Spiel manchmal beim Starten keine Rückmeldung hatte, welches durch Neustarten behoben werden konnte.)
Die Story ist zwar ziemlich simpel und wird im Spiel auch nicht wirklich groß behandelt, was allerdings auch nicht weiter stört.

Ich habe das Spiel nach 7 Stunden komplett durchgespielt. Wem diese 7 Stunden 8.99€ wert sind, oder wenn es mal reduziert ist, sollte unbedingt zugreifen.

This game has been sitting in my library since 2013. Back then, I wasn't really into puzzle games and found it way too hard, so I dropped it very quickly. Having played The Witness, I felt very confident that I could solve the puzzles. I can see how some of the thinking from the puzzles of this game went into The Witness. The story is interesting the game is unique in itself. It still holds up as a good game.

Braid is a classic indie darling, a puzzle platformer that inspired hundreds to make their own sidescrolling adventures. The developer, Jonathan Blow, also created The Witness years later, which is my favorite game of all time. Coming in to this game, I was hoping for even a fraction of the excellent solves and ideas that game introduces. Unfortunately, I feel like I bounced off Braid more times that I can count. Before anything else, Braid's presentation is a painterly aesthetic mixed with a semi-philosophical backdrop, on par for the developer's work. My main issue with the game is that the game never truly gates progress until the very end. Braid allows you to damn near walk to the exit in many of the levels, permitting you to skip most of the actual challenge of the game, which is solving the puzzle pieces. Unfortunately, the process itself is not fun. Many of the mechanics are too complicated for their own good, and some moments felt more like I needed to stand in a very specific place or platform well enough to complete a puzzle rather than actually work a solution. The story is quite good, but even as short as the game is, I wanted it to be over more times than not. That said, I don't think it's a bad game at all, and just take it at your own pace.

Moderately cute game with an interesting (though not entirely original) time manipulation mechanic. However, many of the puzzles require even more precision than figuring out how to balance between freezing and scalding water in a hotel shower, making the game as a whole rather boring and frustrating. I might go back and finish it, but I'm not convinced.

Ah, Braid. I'm sure this game will bring back memories for a lot of people just as it does for me. Pretty much the quintessential indie darling of gaming. It actually still stands up really well and when you add in the importance it has to the indie gaming scene then it becomes one of those games that is almost worth playing just to experience an important milestone in the medium.

Music: great concept of following the game mechanics, instead of just looping.

Game puzzles: somewhat challenging, very enjoyable. Not esoteric to the point where it's unsolvable without a walkthrough, but will require some time to plan out.

Game story: can't say I was super engaged, but I enjoyed the ending. Since it seems like something of a Super Mario parody, I doubt there was meant to be much story to begin with.

Overall: excellent puzzle game, but don't hold your breath for the story.

I first found out about Braid when my dad installed some games on our family computer more than a decade ago (some of the other games we had were Plants vs Zombies, Ricochet Lost Worlds, Feeding Frenzy, Escape Rosecliff Island. Just few of the ones I could think off the top of my head). This game was one of my first gaming experiences ever, and its just meant a lot to me. I remember walking and hopping around the initial levels, extremely confused, but just being mesmerized by the soundtrack and the world of Braid, and I was really curious towards Tim's character. 13 years later after its release, and its still just as amazing as it was.

My thoughts

I think everything about this game is just fascinating and wonderful, from the gorgeous painted art to the mind boggling puzzles. The soundtrack flows excellently and its just perfect for the atmosphere and setting the game tries to deliver. I would go as far as saying this is my favorite soundtrack ever, listening to it always calms me and reminds me of the peaceful moments of the past.

In my opinion, even if you are not the biggest puzzle game fan, I recommend this game solely for its art and music. You could use a walkthrough on youtube and simply appreciate the effort put in to making the puzzles and have many 'Aha!' moments on parts you were stuck at. The time manipulation mechanic of the game is brilliant and really fun to use, and each world [spoiler] (there are 6) [/spoiler] has a unique aspect to it which I will not talk about since you have to experience that yourself.

Flaws

There are a few flaws I can think of, like how some of the solutions to the puzzles are pretty obscure at times and may be impossible to figure out on your own. The story can feel pretty strange and vague as well, which I think the game was going for but its not for everyone. The mechanics of the specific world are explained at the start in the first level with a simple demonstration, BUT I would still say its vague. With these in mind, I recommend getting Braid when its on sale, since it only goes for a few bucks at most and in my opinion, its an experience worth having.

Braid is a timeless game, in more ways than one.
Really looking forward to the anniversary edition, cant wait for it!!
I give this game 10 puzzle pieces out of 10.

TLDR: Get it on sale, fun game (probably my favorite).

To be perfectly honest in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view but also by looking into this matter from a different perspective and by trying to make it objective as much as possible and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.

Braid is a very nice small puzzle game. On top of a very basic platformer it creates some interesting time manipulation puzzles. Each world uses a different gimmick and as the worlds are rather short nothing overstays its welcome. The base game took me approximately 4 hours and is not amongst the most challenging of puzzle games, but it is definitely worth playing.

To get all the achievements you also need to complete a speedrun of the whole game. I managed to do that on the third try. Not sure, if the game benefitted from that. I guess it forced you to actually understand the puzzles (or learn them by heart) to be able to reproduce the solutions that quickly.

The extra collectible stars are basically impossible to discover and really hard to collect. And one of them is extremely annoying as you have to wait for two hours to get it. Not sure if they actually make the game better, but it is what it is. You can just comletely ignore them.

Overall, I can definitely recommend the game, but beware of the speedrun, if you aim to get all achievements.

This is a very interesting game with a well planned story. There are some puzzles that take a long time to solve and others that are easy but there is definitely no lack of challenge. The animations for the characters are excellent and the backgrounds are a work of art.

Summary: If you have no tolerance for puzzles then this is not the game for you. If you love puzzles then this may be your new favorite game.

While short, Braid is a unique experience that makes up for its length with a lot of things: it's soundtrack, the art, the puzzles, and quite a few difficult-to-achieve secrets. Each world really makes full use of the time powers it provides, from simply rewinding time to time clones and more. Even though there really aren't any clear explanations for how the powers work, the worlds provide enough experimentation to let most know intuitively just how these powers work.

The levels themselves range from simple to incredibly puzzling, though the curve for most of the worlds is forgiving enough so that most people will eventually be able to complete the game with a bit of perseverance. There is a bit of a need for platforming precision in some levels, however, especially if you're going for all the secrets.

Narrative-wise, Braid is rich with symbolism and various ways to interpret the game. While later games have done this sort of thing better, the ways Braid defies different standard game conventions and presents itself is still charming enough despite its age being apparent.

One shouldn't really buy Braid if all they care about is the length of a game, since Braid is more about the experience and uniqueness of its presentation. In that regard, with its unique premise, fantastic visuals, and great soundtrack, I don't think you'd be disappointed in checking it out.

Information / Review English

Braid falls into the Platform genre, which was developed by Number None.

Gameplay / Story

The game is presented like a classic two-dimensional jump ’n’ run and at first glance shows a lot in common with Super Mario Bros. The game character is Tim, a male with a suit, red hair and a red tie. Tim can run and jump, climb up and down ladders, vines and bars, pick up keys to doors and carry around with him, and operate switches to move platforms; Opponents are defeated by jumping on them. The overview map of the game is Tim's house and its forecourt, shown as a longitudinal section (like a doll's house). In the house there are different rooms that represent the accesses to the six worlds. In each of the five rooms there is a large, initially empty picture on the wall, on which the puzzle pieces of a world appear. In five worlds this ability must be used to collect twelve puzzle pieces each. In order to reach the last world in the attic, all puzzles must be put together correctly.

Braid doesn't follow a classic linear narrative. Unlike most video games, Braid doesn't start in the first level either, but goes backwards, i.e. backwards. H. played through from the end to the beginning without the player being aware of it at first. In each cloud room there are several text panels that make it clear at the beginning that Tim is looking for a princess who was kidnapped by a monster because Tim made a mistake that he is trying to fix. The action-related aspects within the level are limited to the fact that the princess cannot be found there. In the further course the text panels provide complex, vague to incoherent perspectives on Tim's motivations, the princess and Braid themselves.

Pro

+ unusual story
+ amusing Mario bonds
+ charming presentation with time manipulations
+ relaxed background music
+ Achievements

Contra

- no assistance

Conclusion

Braid offers you crisp time puzzles that are creative and charming at the same time.

Information / Review Deutsch

Braid fällt in das Genre Plattformer, welcher von Number None entwickelt wurde.

Gameplay / Geschichte

Das Spiel ist aufgemacht wie ein klassisch zweidimensionales Jump ’n’ Run und zeigt auf den ersten Blick viele Gemeinsamkeiten mit Super Mario Bros. Die Spielfigur ist Tim, ein Männchen mit Anzug, roten Haaren und roter Krawatte. Tim kann laufen und springen, Leitern, Ranken und Gitter hoch- und entlangklettern, Schlüssel für Türen aufheben und mit sich herumtragen und Schalter betätigen, um Plattformen zu bewegen; Gegner werden durch Draufspringen besiegt.
Die Übersichtskarte des Spiels ist Tims Haus und dessen Vorplatz, dargestellt als Längsschnitt (wie bei einem Puppenhaus). Im Haus befinden sich verschiedene Räume, die die Zugänge zu den sechs Welten darstellen. In fünf Räumen hängt jeweils ein großes, zu Beginn leeres Bild an der Wand, auf dem die gefundenen Puzzleteile einer Welt erscheinen. n fünf Welten muss diese Fähigkeit benutzt werden, um jeweils zwölf Puzzleteile einzusammeln. Um die letzte Welt im Dachboden zu erreichen, müssen alle Puzzles richtig zusammengesetzt werden.

Braid folgt keiner klassischen linearen Erzählung. Anders als in den meisten Videospielen beginnt Braid auch nicht im ersten Level, sondern wird rückwärts, d. h. vom Ende bis zum Anfang durchgespielt, ohne dass sich der Spieler dessen zunächst bewusst ist. In jedem Wolkenraum gibt es mehrere Texttafeln, die am Anfang deutlich machen, dass Tim auf der Suche nach einer Prinzessin ist, die von einem Monster entführt wurde, weil Tim einen Fehler gemacht hat, den er zu beheben sucht. Die handlungsbezogenen Aspekte innerhalb der Level beschränken sich darauf, dass die Prinzessin dort eben nicht zu finden ist. Im weiteren Verlauf liefern die Texttafeln vielschichtige, vage bis zusammenhangslose Blickwinkel auf Tims Motivationen, die Prinzessin und Braid an sich.

Pro

+ ungewöhnliche Story
+ amüsante Mario-Anleihen
+ charmante Präsentation mit Zeitmanipulationen
+ entspannte Musikuntermalung
+ Errungenschaften

Kontra

- keine Hilfestellungen

Fazit

Braid bietet dir knackige Zeiträtsel, welche kreativ und charmant zugleich sind.

Braid is an amazing puzzle platformer and it is a significant piece of video game history due to the fact that it is the reason why we have many indie games today. I know I'm very late to the party, but I'm glad I didn't come across any spoilers before playing it. I also didn't know anything about its gameplay, so if you're planning to experience this masterpiece, you should avoid any information about it. I was told that it has wonderful puzzles, and a dramatic story and I knew that they were right about the story because soundtracks gave off a dramatic vibe. The storytelling is unique, it is really difficult to understand what's going on at first but as you progress through the game, you slowly understand everything. The ending lands the finishing blow with a bitter twist by revealing the truth behind your actions. Puzzles are also amazing and there is a new mimic for each world you're diving in. It is also simply impossible not to notice that Super Mario Bros. is a huge inspiration for it. Long story short, if you've never played this work of art, you're in for a treat.

Don't know what to compare it to for those who don't know it. It's more of a puzzle game presented in the form of a platformer. Like the best puzzle games, you'll kick yourself swearing the puzzle is impossible and then 3 days later you'll be walking downtown and the solution will smack you in the face. yes. its really very good.

Definitely one of the best games out there period. Always loved puzzle games, always loved platformers, so obviously this game is perfect for me. I really think this game is a great entry-way for anyone who is interested in either of those two genres however, or would simply like to try one. This game really teaches you how to think outside the box, and just when you think you've gotten a new mechanic understood properly, it throws a new one at you to continue to keep you on your toes. It has a very fair curve and never gets too mechanically difficult, all of its puzzles are solved through the mind and because of this it is one of the most fair platformers I have ever played.

The rewind mechanic is absolutely wonderful to use, mistakes simply get reversed in a few seconds, and you can keep playing like nothing happened. Accidentally missed a jump? Rewind back to try again until you make it. Died to a goomba? Rewind and kill that sucker. Not only does it take away the punishing aspect that most platformers have, but it allows the game to implement so many wonderful concepts and mechanics that push the limits of what you're capable of using this rewind feature. I don't want to spoil what any of the puzzles or mechanics are, but this game really goes above and beyond with providing fascinating lateral puzzles for you to work your brain around, and when you eventually finish this game, you'll feel like a mental champion.

While this game isn't too dense in gameplay, it is extremely dense in potential. Once you grasp all of the simple mechanics, you could easily beat the game in less than an hour (in fact, one of the achievements is to do it in 45 minutes). However, there are so many potential ways of optimization that you'll find yourself accidentally speedrunning the game just by finding new methods to beating older levels. Even after you've fully understood everything there is to know regarding the game and its puzzles/mechanics, you'll still keep coming back just to master them even more, or to try to beat the game faster than you have before. This game never gets old to me, and everyone I have shown this game to feels the same way.

Trust me, this is more than worth your money.

Braid is a gem. It's a simple platformer with time as a puzzle element.
Time is somewhat twisted for the protagonist. Is he living in the present, past or future and what exactly makes him the way he is?
He is somewhat lost in himself. The story that is told is beautifully illustrated. Still to this day I like to revisit the game in my memories.
Some levels are really hard to solve. Using time by playing it forward and backwards can be really tricky. You have to adapt to it. But the difficulty did not make it any less fun.
If you like a good challenge and a story you need to analyze and interpret yourself, grab this cheap but great game.

It's impressive how good this game looks and feels after so much time. To avoid repeating compliments to Blow's inhuman capacity to build good puzzles I'll say the environmental and ambiguous storytelling is intriguing and makes you ask questions all the time, you get interested on the character's story. I'd also recommend one to try the speedrun challenges, since you have to often need to solve new puzzles you didn't even know existed.

10/10
One of the best puzzle games I have played.

It is a platform based puzzle game BUT puzzles are all based on time concepts. The game involves rewinding time, having objects unaffected by the flow of time, even having alternate versions of the player and much much more.
That is all the reason you need to play the game.
Further, the art style is GORGEOUS, I love the water-paint texture and music (violin) is great as well.
The story is complex/a bit abstract and is NOT told chronologically. I recommend researching on different interpretations of the story after you finish the game.

Note- The last achievement for the game is speedrunning through entire game within 45 minutes. I thought it was too much at first but ended up enjoying the whole process.

Braid is a puzzle platformer with some kind of time rewind / slowdown abilities. I'm personally not the biggest fan of the art style and i've got my problems with the game.

I don't think that Braid is a bad game but for some reason it never really fascinated me and i tried it a couple of times but my session were never really longer than 15 minutes. I can see people liking the game but it's definitely not mine. Difficulty is fine and sounds can be a bit annoying from time to time.

A challenging puzzle platformer. Very interesting mechanics and forgiving if you mess up with the power to manipulate time,
Rewind and try it again.
A twist to the story which is pretty funny.

One of the first games I owned on steam, going through my backlog and this was a hidden gem.

Never did I get surprised that often in 6 hours by a video game, since I was 8 years old playing Ocarina of Time.

What an absolutely phenomenal game. Simplistic in style, yet complex in both narrative and puzzles. Some of these were frustrating to solve, requiring time, persistence and precision.

Recommended by a friend, took me far too long to get around to this game. A decent length of time in gameplay, perfect in terms of maintaining concentration and interest without exhausting the theme (or driving the puzzler utterly mad with frustration) this game had a surprising level of depth despite it's 2D platformer style.

The narrative indicates more than what we see as well. A fantastic game well worth playing.

It's been quite a while since I've played through this game, but when I think of the puzzle platformer genre as a whole, Braid still remains at the top of my list as one of the best! Even in 2020, I find myself recommending it to people as the art is timeless. Gameplay and mechanics are simple enough but with challenging puzzles. Each chapter brought a fresh mechanic. The story was sweet at first sight, but is still one of the heartbreaking in my memory. All in all, 10/10 for me!

Braid is a platformer that accomplishes something quite rare: to be extremely challenging while always being very forgiving. The core of this experience relies on time manipulation. This power feels incredible and creates a very deep logic behind each level. Entering and exiting levels is seamless so if you get stuck on something, you can come back to it later. The story has some ambiguity but this serves it by design. Speedrunning can also be part of your experience as there are times listed to beat in-game for those looking for more. Now with support for higher resolutions, it is clear that the developer cares deeply for their game and what it means to their fans. If you are looking for a difficult game with a surprising story twist that can be open to interpretation, Braid is exactly that. Game on.

This puzzle game changed how platformers perceived and spawned countless copies...
Each world brings some new time manipulation option, making it impressive that the creator was able to think of such things. Even more so when looking at the story. But it doesn't matter whether the story is clear to someone or not, it is still quite fun.
Music is on par with the rest of the aspects, beautiful as ever, one of the best among game soundtracks, listening to it outside the game at times...

I got this game in 2009. I quickly became frustrated, because the majority of puzzles seemed intractable or outright impossible. I didn't finish a single world, not completely. I figured I would finish the game someday, so I didn't look up any of the answers; and I never reached the end.

11 years later, I finished Braid 100% in 6h across 4 days, without looking up the solution to any puzzle. This game is hard, but highly rewarding. But it's really not that hard: Because of the steep difficulty curve, and the introduction of a different mechanic in each world, many puzzles seem very intimidating on first and second glance. But with some time, some experimentation, a clear understanding of the mechanics and some fresh thinking (not wanting to solve everything on the first go helps, as does not expecting the puzzles to be obvious), you can easily (eventually) figure them all out. 100% recommended if you like challenging puzzle games, otherwise you will get really frustrated with this game.

It's been years since I played Braid originally, but after playing through Gris, I had the urge to break out the most beautiful, relaxing, and lovely platformers in my collection. Top of the list for those reasons, and for the tight writing, sits Braid. It's got fascinating controls and mechanics, dense puzzles, stylized graphics, and some incredible and thoughtful writing. What's not to love!?

I recently finished Braid for the second time. I first played it around 2009-2010 when it was quite the rage, coming out at the forefront of the indie gaming movement.
Back then, it was so perplexing and awe-inspiring, that I promised to play it again in a decade after I (hopefully) forgot all the solutions (or most of them). And the second time, I thought, I would do it without using an FAQ (ONLY used it for two puzzles during my first playthrough!!). A decade later, I have finally made it through.... and, oh boy, what a journey!
Overall, Braid holds up well thanks to its unique time-rewind puzzle mechanics, its odd and obscure narrative (more on that later), its beautifully crafted background art, and amazing, music. The music in the game turned me into a long time fan of modern new age instrumentals, and a HUGE fanboy of one of the artists who's music is featured in the game, Jami Sieber, who's work I hunted down online and listened to over and over.
Coming to the puzzles, I felt I could solve them with much more ease 10 years later, despite forgetting them. Perhaps because my subconscious retained some of the memory, but also because I have played many puzzle platformers and puzzle games in general since I discovered braid. Also, coming from The Witness, designed by the same person but much more complex brain burn, I felt my brain was already well wired for solving the different puzzles presented by the game.
10 years ago, I really struggled with the puzzles, but I managed to solve all of them (except two) without a walkthrough. Sure, it took me about 10 hours to finish the game, instead of the average 7-8 that people were reporting online, but I made it. I think the puzzles are not so much about intelligence, but rather approach.
First time around, I approached most puzzles with brute force, using trial and error and coming up with different ideas to test out. Every puzzle presents you with information/visual cues which you can use to test out different approaches. Maybe you must use a certain platform way up there, maybe one of the little gnome thingies need to get somewhere for you to solve the puzzle, etc. Almost every platform, object or enemy is relevant and not just there for no reason. Most puzzles often require a fresh perspective, so it might be a good idea to solve one or two at a time, rather than rushing through the whole game. Just sit back, look at the screen, listen to the relaxing music for a while. Maybe you'll get it... it'll just hit you.
A lot of people claim that Braid is nothing special, seeing it as pretentious, taking itself too seriously. This is either due to the perceived difficulty or obscurity of the puzzles, or the narrative style and the 'message' of the game. I found the narrative style to be very intriguing, a puzzle on its own. And to clarify, the developer himself has said that there are multiple meanings and themes, and there is no one message that can be easily explained. Braid is more about the journey rather than the end, much like it spiritual successor 'The Witness'. This player's opinion is that people have read too much into the game and taken the game too seriously. It is, primarily, an aesthetic and cerebral experience that cannot be really described in words.
Braid rightly deserves to be considered one of the absolute best and genre redefining titles of its decade (2000-2009). The critics were always right on the money on this one. And I'm afraid, the detractors and naysayers are wrong. This game changed the way I, as a gamer, perceived games and gaming industry, and it also inspired many designers and games that followed.
A solid 9/10.

In my ongoing and likely futile effort to write a Steam review for every game in my library (#216 out of 555)... it's time for Braid.

Braid used to be famous. Crazy famous. It was the game that popularized the whole concept of indie games, back when the only real choice we had was between the latest overproduced western AAAs and obscure, niche Japanese games. The world has changed. Is Braid still famous? Is it still worth playing? Look, what do you want from me? I dunno.

What I can tell you is this: Braid is one of those indie games with its head lodged well up its own ass. You know the type: the pretentious platformer. It's very, very interested in telling you a story. But beyond that, the game is actually pretty solid -- less of a platformer and more of a puzzle game, where you hop from platform to platform while maniupating the flow of time in order to solve puzzles and progress. The story, which last I checked is somehow meant to be a metaphor for the Manhattan Project (a metaphor I have exactly zero interest in pursuing) is, thankfully, very easy to ignore, as it's mostly told in the form of text windows, prompted by pixely books placed on pedastals (now there's the game's real metaphor) that you can run right past.

Personally I found the puzzles to get old fairly quickly when I first played the game, way back in the day, and I lost interest even faster with the Steam version. I dunno. Maybe it's not for me -- I am not the biggest platformer fan out there, and definitely not the biggest puzzle platformer fan. That said, the very catchy music (which sounds just as good playing backwards while reversing time) is ample enough reason to pick the game up, I think, by itself.

Note: also played on Microsoft Xbox 2.

Braid is culturally and historically significant for indie games as a whole, but for whatever reason it's just never clicked with me. It's almost definitely a masterpiece in terms of puzzle design and is more than serviceable as far as visuals and presentation go. Despite that, and this is just anecdote: of the 9 people on my friends list who have played Braid, only 1 has bothered or managed to reach the game's ending. To add to that, only a quarter of all players have the achievement for finishing the game.

So do I recognise Braid's importance to indie games and video game culture? For sure. But I don't really recommend it unless you know wholeheartedly that you want to play one of the most innovative and therein most challenging puzzle platformers available. Braid's difficulty won't be for everyone, and there's nothing wrong with that. I don't have the drive to finish it personally and that's why I don't recommend it.

Braid – is another indisputable proof that indie games play an essential role in today's electronic entertainment industry. While reputable companies with multimillion-dollar capitals are chasing after special effects and Hollywood scenarios, striving to bring games closer to the movies, talented singles clearly demonstrate that there is an alternative way for the industry to develop.

Braid is a fantastic and insightful game. Not only does it stretch your intellectual puzzle-solving skills to the limit, but it also engages your emotional and social senses through an engaging allegorical storyline. To be fair, if you aren't looking for a game that makes you think on many, many levels, you are better off looking elsewhere!
