Braid

RainMaker · 08-19-2008, 07:08 PM

Was recently released as an XBOX 360 Arcade game. I normally wouldn't even bother mentioning one of those games, but this is truly one of the coolest and most innovative games I've ever played. The music, art, and challenge make it a blast. The storyline is actually real deep once you get through with it and figure it out.

The game has gotten phenomenal reviews and I highly recommend you guys download the demo. It's a creepy, artsy, awesome game that is both maddening and fun.

I need to check this out.. I've read too much good about it not too.

I really enjoyed it...apart from the times it enraged me.

Actually I never got too frustrated with this one which I usually do in puzzle games. There were some that took me a long time time to figure out, but I never felt like it was illogical.

Really dug the art-style and music.

Highly recommend it.

I got stuck on one of the levels in the demo, and when I finally broke down and read the solution on gamefaqs I became enraged. It just seemed unfair.

Aside from that, I will agree that the game is pretty cool. I'd still probably buy it if I didn't have so many other games on the go right now.

I just played through the first level. It took me about 30 minutes to complete the first puzzle. I thought it was pretty smart. I don't play a lot of games like this, so I was pleasantly surprised with how to get all of the pieces. It was cool.

There's a lot of discussion on Braid at my colleague's blog, http://www.brainygamer.com/

The game designer and several other designers have taken place in a long discussion. It's pretty interesting.

I'm currently stuck completing the puzzles on a couple of levels. Just need one piece on, I think, world 3 and two on world 4.

How many worlds are there? Answer in spoiler tags, please.

Off hand, I don't know the answer, but you could probably just look at the achievement list for the game and figure it out from there, since I managed to earn an achievement every time I finished a world.

I've had some friends finish in 6 hours and some working over 10 now on the game.

this is really neat. I was working on a puzzle when my sister got home from work, and we ended up working out most of world 3 and all of world 4 together, good times.
