Braid is the rare game that will make you rack your brain trying to solve puzzles one minute while challenging you to come to terms with its mature tale the next. The plot is succinctly summarized before you enter the first world: Tim, the hero, has made a mistake that cost him his love; now, he has to rescue his lost princess from an evil monster. The story, told through books before each of the six worlds, chronicles Tim’s ruminations on the subjects eating away at him.

Comment: It is pretty much the same as Limbo, but the difference is that Limbo is black & gray, but this is black and all types of different colors. Game is interesting and really puzzly.

Comment: I tried this game several times and im really consider am i stupid or?
For sure this game is not for everyone , u need to play it at least 10-20-30 times to get some mechanics and thinking on the way which u can win 🙂
This game is like Angry Bird , u can be happy when u get some better , then comes game when u fail and u get angry , when u rage and u can’t play more , u need to take a brake cause i will crush ur computer 🙂
I don’t know what is my highscore but i know that i was playing it days , nights,days,night and over and over from start to be little bit better , and i couldn’t belive that this game i so hard ..
Every time when im bad i thought that i can stop playing this game , but my wish was to get better in it and played it and played for about 1 year , after i saw it’s usseles to play it i stoped 🙂
If u have time and ur nerves are strong u can play it , but i reccomend u to get relaxed when u play and u will be better 🙂 Cheers!

Comment: During my first playthrough of Braid, I got frustrated, happy, somewhat euphoric, angry, surprised, impressed, relieved, and curious. That feeling when you finally find out the solution to a puzzle you have tried to figure out for a long time, it’s almost like a drug. You feel a bit intelligent. You just can’t get enough of that feeling, so you just keep playing even though it might take a long time to solve the next one too. A real brainteaser that can be very frustating but at the same time very fun too!

Comment: This game is full of action fun and twisting tales! This game oveally amazes me, its got pretty good graphics, exciting fun gameplay and an awesome name for the game! 🙂
It has some cool awards, and theres probably loads more to this game than you would excpect! An awesome time trvaelling system, lest go respawn to somewhere you fell! But it is pretty easy to complete and thats what makes this game a bit dodgy, if not i would probaby give it a ten but instead i will give it a 9! But it is a fun an awesome game to play so if you get bored i would suggest playing this game for a while untill you complete it, it may be easy but its gameplay is so awesome! The other downfall is that it costs which is kinda bad but still an awesome game to play, so i would suggest it to anybody!

Comment: Braid is a rather unique game. The first time I played it, I really didn’t know what to expect. I had gotten as part of the Humble Bundle and knew nothing of all the success and awards it had. My first impression of the game was that it was a simple platformer with a mediocre story. But I soon found out there was a lot more to Braid. The main “power” you have in the game is the ability to wind back time if you make a mistake. There are no lives or respawning. If you fall down onto some mean looking rocks, you can hold a button to turn back time to the point before you fell. This power will become necessary in order to complete later puzzles. There may be a key in the middle of those jagged rocks I mentioned earlier. The only way to obtain it will be to fall down, grab the key, and then rewind time.. except you will carry the key back through time with you. It may all sound very complicated, but believe me, the game manages to put all of this together in a way that doesn’t feel frustrating nor confusing.

But now the key fact that everyone really cares about comes into play; the rating. I would have to rate Braid an 8. In my opinion that’s the best “fair” grade I can give it. You see, although Braid is a lot of fun, it can easily be beaten in less than 10 hours, and that’s exaggerating by a long shot. There are only 6 worlds to finish, and each one can be finished in under an hour, and perhaps in under half an hour if you’re pretty skilled at platforming and puzzle solving. There are puzzle pieces in each of the levels to go back and collect, which offers some amount of replayability and will definitely take you much longer to collect, but these do not really offer you much of a reward other than the Steam achievements if you’re into collecting them. In addition, you can also do speed runs which are crazy and challenging, to earn another achievement. Still though, what’s really missing from this game is a custom level design tool. I understand that it is an indie game, and therefore there aren’t hundreds of people working on this, but this is a game that would work so well. I can just imagine some of the insane levels that players could come up with while using the time rewind function. However, even without a way of making custom levels, Braid will certainly provide you way more than enough entertainment to make the standard $9.99 price tag not only justifiable, but recommend. I realize my giving it an “8” may seem harsh, but I’m simply trying to be realistic. This is a groundbreaking platforming game, yes, but it’s far from a long-term gaming fix.

Comment: An amazing indie game. it’s challenging puzzles leave you completely stumped often, but a relaxing environment keep you coming back to try again, therefore the solving of each puzzle is extremely rewarding. The price of 10-20 dollars seals the deal as one of my most recommended Indie games.

Comment: Braid is the most amazing console game that I have ever played. I paid $20 for it at my local Walmart but it was worth it. The graphics are unique and nicely done.

Do not make the mistake of thinking that Braid is likie Mario because I found it to be 10 times better. You have to think to get anywhere.

    Septera did not rate this post.
  2. Manipulating time was never so challenging as in this masterpiece from Number None. Braid is a little gem carved in pure perfect gameplay, is so addictive that keeps you playing hour after hour. There aren’t big flaws in this game, but Braid is a little bit short.

  4. Braid is an amazing 2D puzzle-platformer. I really like the unique concept of time manipulation to undo certain events in the game and replay them in a different manner. It brings in a fun and different way of playing a typical platformer. The game overall looks really nice. Overall, I would rate this game a 4.75/5.

  5. Good progression curve and the interesting puzzles had solutions which felt great to figure out but didn’t need hints to do. It took a long time to finish but was worth playing through for me and is still fun because the mechanics are amusing.
