The best Puzzle Platformer since the release of Wario Land 3.
(
PC

The 2D gameplay may seem simple and familiar at first, but Braid has more depth and innovation than most full-priced 3D games on the market.

The 2D graphics are pretty cool, Braid does some great things with particles, color and light that give it a very dynamic quality, haven't seen anything quite like it. Music is pretty good too. The story is far out in the weird artsy territory, every now and then it seemed ...
