Braid (XBLA)

Braid is a puzzle-platformer, drawn in a painterly style, where the player manipulates the flow of time in strange and u more »nusual 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. The time behaviors include: the ability to rewind, objects that are immune to being rewound, time that is tied to space, parallel realities, time dilation, and perhaps more. Braid treats your time and attention as precious; there is no filler in this game. Every puzzle shows you something new and interesting about the game world. « less

Braid has a way of engrossing the player with a mysterious opening, and easing them into the experience with progressively difficult puzzles. I make this point because it's an extremely frustrating game, but in a good way. It challenges the mind, like a true puzzle game should. Also, the puzzles are varied, while staying true to the central element of time travel. Collecting all of the puzzle pieces should give it a decent lifespan.

I really enjoyed this game. Very challenging, amazing graphics, and beautiful music made it a great experience. The story was also very good and it's interesting reading all the theories on it. Definitely one of the best puzzle platform games I have played. Highly recommended!

Hard, short, and damn complicated, you may ask yourself "Why the heck would I buy a game like that!?".

'Cause it's awesome. The music, the graphics, the mood, it's all beautiful. Sure there's no replay value and you could be stumped for hours, but it's a fun little game that's worth the money.

the malipulation of time is a real cleaver gameing element. a real brain buster, but once you beat it, its just a great feeling. the story line is real deep to, even if you have to read a little.

It's a beautiful game, but under the surface is a really devilish puzzler that you can't stop playing until you've made it to the very end. The story is good, but the way it's narrated isn't as good. Is it about an actual princess, his girlfriend, or the atom bomb? Even after unlocking all the story books it still makes little sense, and there's absolutely no replay value, which makes it a very strange XBLA game, although I enjoyed playing it.

Something all XBLA games should aspire to be; short, casual, fulfilling experience which is just a blast to play. Soundtrack and art style were both really great as well.

Great game, hard as Hell toward the latter stages where you're simply wondering "Is this game bugged? Is this impossible?" and then suddenly (after a few hours) it clicks! Great feeling once it's completed too.

Braid is a game of many colors. it is a platformer, a puzzle game, and a story within a story. The core game play of platforming is very intriguing as you not only have to traverse the landscapes but also use time manipulation to rewind,slowdown and speed up the environment and enemies to reach your goals.

There are also the "Puzzle pieces" that you must collect in order to complete a puzzle that will build a ladder to the "final" level. Collecting those and putting them together will test your…
