Despite a fairly confusing story and somewhat dated controls braid delivers some of the most unique and creative platforming puzzles to date. Constantly it gives you an ability you think you understand only to completely flip the way you think you’d use it on its head. There are a few super vague puzzles that I felt could use a tad more direction but besides that it’s a pretty great 6 hour experience. Thanks for the birthday gift beano

This shouldn't work as well as it does. Nothing about this game makes sense at times and it feels confusing and overwhelming all the time but for some reason it all makes sense and feels right. From the super clever puzzles to the cryptic but fascinating world this game really ticks almost all my metoidvania boxes.

I rolled credits this morning but I have a feeling there's a lot more to do

The final boss in this game is almost enough for me to want to quit and never play again. Almost everything leading up to it is really fun and charming and feels mostly balanced, but the last fight really needs to be somewhat reworked or modified in its current state because it ruins what is almost a great game.

As much as this falls into the "modern day open world" genre with all its map markers to guide you and icons to remove any real sense of exploration I still really enjoyed my time with this game. The weak characters and cliche open world design isn't enough to ruin the otherwise great gameplay and the unique and interesting story. I really wish the pop in wasn't so bad though.
