Nov. 2024

Braid is an indie game puzzle platformer with the emphasis on the manipulation of time. The narrative is thought-provoking and focuses on themes of regret and undoing the past. Visually the game has a unique and beautiful art style with detailed and bright landscapes to navigate through. Braid's soundtrack is its strongest attribute, complimenting the levels perfectly. The track "Downstream" may be one of my favourites of all time.

It's a fantastic little game. Very challenging, and unique art style. it's fairly short, but for $5 it's a no brainer.

March 2024

Masterpiece of a puzzle game. Time bending puzzles are amazing Story is probably the most fun I had digesting in this medium, but it will not be for everyone.

Feb. 2024

This game should be named state of the art. Braid is about reflection upon oneself; one's own mistakes and growing off of it . In the early game, it revolves around the concept of guilt and how time affects guilt. This game was very much enjoyable with low play time. The game also explores free will, and the psyche of a deeply troubled individual who has deluded himself in order to rationalize his actions but in the end, breaks out of his delusion, and accepts reality and grows with that experience

Jan. 2024

this game has an excellent time manipulation mechanic for puzzle solving that is not complicated to understand, the plot is also very good an instant classic
