Braid is a puzzle-platformer, drawn in a painterly style, where you can manipulate the flow of time in strange and unusual ways. From a house in the city, journey to a series of worlds and solve puzzles to rescue an abducted princess. In each world, you have a different power to affect the way time behaves, and it is time's strangeness that creates the puzzles.
One of the best games i have ever played. a must buy. i spent months in forums reading about the hints to the story and what all the small details might mean. the game is so much more than just a puzzler, its a mystery.
+ innovative design
+ tough but logical puzzles
+ great pacing and learning curve
+ lots of secret things to discover
+ the story is a great mystery
+ speedrun challenges
+ the art style is stunning, just stunning
- once you have finished it a couple of times (im on my 5th playtrough) you remeber all the puzzles and the game looses a bit of its charm. an expansion or sequel would be a wonderful thing, although it probably wont happen. but the creator is working on his next title and that might be as good as braid.
last thing: don't look up the solutions on youtube. i did it a few times, and i wish i didn't. the levels are not in the 100:s so by wussing out on a couple of stages shortens this fantastic game.
