Braid The First Rewind

I can't stand this game - Braid. I can hear people chime on how good it is and I can tell you they are wrong. A year ago I heard that this game was tough and they were right! Damnit!

Braid is definitely interesting. Instead of a spatial platformer, you get a chronological one.

Braid is definitely amazing. Instead of a spatial platformer, you get a puzzle game where you can change time. Redoing your missed jumps and changing it that you avoid the little ball of hair walking towards you. I'm over at world 4, and I managed to complete world 3 perfectly. The last stage of world 2 has me stumped as I can't get the final 2 puzzle pieces. I have this urge to go look over a FAQ of the game for a hint or two yet that would break the whole purpose of this game.

Braid makes you feel smart when you successfully pass each stage collecting the puzzle pieces. It makes you go 'oooh' whenever you stumble upon a solution by accident. The experience of every time altering mechanic of each world is definitely something one should try. Not to mention certain tributes to classic games like 'Jump Man'.

Walking in the painted world feels almost dreamlike. Walking in a painting collecting puzzle pieces to form a painting. If only I could reach that last puzzle over the door. I've been trying everything for hours now....
