Braid, Anniversary Edition

(Played to death on PS5) Jonathan Blow said this game sold like ass, and that's a shame. It's definitely worth a pick up, even if you know Braid by heart like I do. The enhanced graphics are probably the least interesting aspect of this re-release. They look nicer, sure, but until you start toggling between the old and new versions, you might not even understand what's different about the visuals. There are some new assets that give more life and story to the individual areas, but most art hews very closely to the original work, albeit with finer detail. Since the original aesthetic was very painterly, the lower resolution never detracted from it too much, so this part of the re-release feels the most redundant. More interesting is the enhanced music and sound effects, which really do feel generationally ahead of the original. The sound design is modern, crisp, and professional, whereas the old game sounded very much like a lo-fi indie game before indie games were even a thing. The music, meanwhile, has been processed and modified using many of the original licensed music's stems, and thus feel less like background ambiance and much more tied into the on-screen action and art.

[b]Braid[/b] is a neat little puzzle adventure side-scroller where you need to use time rewind abilities in order to proceed between different areas, all while collecting a specific puzzle pieces which after collecting them, lets you advance further into the storyline. From what I understand the game is rather short although I'm not planning to finish it because it's really not for me. Artwork is nice and time rewind mechanic is really something I haven't seen before which is basically the only reason this game is worth playing. On the other hand there's almost no story whatsoever, enemy variety is very small and the main character looks like he works in a cubicle. It's a weird game when you sum everything up, but I can see why someone would like it. [h3]6.3/10[/h3]

good

Not sure why it took me so long to try this game. I guess on the surface it didn't look that appealing to me. But the game is indeed good. Definitely worth playing until the sokoban game comes out

It's a great game!
