Braid

ferginator4k's Braid (PC) review

A deceptively casual Puzzle game-

Braid is an Indie game developed by Johnathan Blow, and at first glance may look like a platformer but is actually a Deep Puzzler that will frustrate and amaze.

Braid is centered around the main character Tim who is searching for his lost love, and the story is presented in optional text.
The key to Braid is its puzzles which are all based around using time travel, Tim has an unlimited ability to rewind time and this is used to gather puzzle pieces and solve puzzles.
Each world forces you to think differently about time, with can allow for much better puzzles but can be very frustrating when you cannot find a solution to the puzzle but overall Braid Will redefine the way time is used in games.

The Graphics in Braid are 2D but are supplemented by beautiful hand drawn backgrounds and characters, these are supplemented by the excellent selection of licensed music that add to the deceptively casual feel of the game.

All in All Braid is a deceptively casual puzzle game that offers challenges for gamers of all kinds.

Tim, the main character, is off searching for his princess, and like every other puzzle/platformer out there, Tim has to traverse...

In recent years, people have been debating whether or not games are art. Although some examples are older games ( Panzer Dragoon, Earthbound, Out of This World, etc.), most gamers cite modern games made after 2000. One of the most common examples is Braid, an independently developed platformer released in 2008. Part of the reason is its striking watercolor art style and calming soundtrack; a larger reason is its imaginative and satisfying use of time mechanics, blending adventure ...
