reviewed Braid

Hadn't played this one since the around the times it originally came out.

The challenges and puzzles are still impressive. It's truly remarkable how much variety of mechanics are at play, all revolving around time-manipulation. So satisfying.

Didn't care much for the tale it's trying tell, however. Felt like it was trying too hard to be deep and thought-provoking.

Regardless of that, the art style and music can now be considered nostalgic and they're definitely wonderful still.

A benchmark title.
