6About Braid
This is the original version of Braid from 2009, which may not work well on newer systems. For an updated version of the game with nicer graphics, more levels and a large amount of developer commentary, see Braid, Anniversary Edition.. . 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. 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. . Key features: . . Newly added Steam Cloud support Save your in-progress game to the cloud, then play where you left off from on any Steam connected computer. . . Forgiving yet challenging gameplay: Braid is a 2-D platform game where you can never die and never

This is truly as good as everybody says, it is not overhyped
This is truly as good as everybody says, it is not overhyped. First, every set of levels has a unique puzzle element, and the levels are designed to very cleverly make use of this puzzle element to solve the level. The game is both hard and fun. Because you can come back later for some things, even though the puzzles are hard, you don't have to get stuck there. Another thing is that the whole game revolves around a fairly layered and interesting story. There's the main story, the releationship allegory, and a deeper set of references... This is a great game.

Braid is
Braid is... Not For Everyone The time twisting, puzzle platformer is brilliantly made, fantastically designed but a killer on the brain. The introduction to the game drip feeds you the information you are required to complete it, and its all down to you to apply the knowledge you have been given. Now this is where opinions will divide; I enjoyed the challenge and that inspired me to push on. You could argue this game is actually really boring, I would disagree, but essentially it is advanced jumping with time elements. The story is strong, the character is great, albeit eccentrically odd, and the mechanics are near flawless. If you are a naysayer, play this in chunks and it'll win you round. I think compared to other indie titles this game is perfectly priced at £5 - £10. If you don't enjoy the art style, then anything below that and you have got a steal and its worth a shot. Notes Steam Achievements, No Trading Cards, Full Controller Support.
