Awesome music, ambient and mechanics: the mechanic of going backwards is so convenient for completing the puzzles.

Shake the tree with gravity, An apple thuds you awake. Look around at solid ground, You realize your mistake. What did that apple do to me? This is definitely not reality! Why do I control gravity? Who put all these puzzles here? Why the hell did I just veer? Rewind and shed no tear. The mirror is no clearer, Pure madness goes on. Problem solve evolve, Until the mind is gone.

The Bridge is a game that, for the most part, is limited not by it's design so much as it's ability to control. I understood the vast majority (though importantly, not all) of the puzzles very quickly, but wrestling with the controls to make that realisation happen is a herculean effort. In addition, while the first half of the game is competent, short, and succinct, the "mirrored" world ultimately fails to live up to expectations. Despite the name, levels are not mirrored, they're the same levels but usually with more enemy balls (I think they're called mayhems?), which ultimately just means you're completing each level twice, but the second time it's harder and usually less reasonable, with more finnicky elements required. When it's all boiled down to it, The Bridge is a game where the art is excellent, the music is solid, the sound design is servicable, the plot is... well it's hard to say, mainly because it takes far too much effort for very little reward - ultimately meaning that I have no interest in it, and the game play has moments of solid, fun experience - curtailed by suffering, torment and frustration. I'm hesitant to recommend this game, but ultimately, it's servicable and good value on a sale. While I didn't enjoy a good amount of the game, ultimately, I think it's selling points are strong enough to provide sufficient value on sale.
