There are a myriad of wrinkles aside from the alterations to Tim’s time manipulation powers. Anything glowing green is not affected by Tim’s time powers. A green key, for example, will remain in Tim’s hands once he picks it up, even if he rewinds time. And a green door will remain unlocked even if you rewind time.
Though figuring out the solutions to some of the puzzle pieces can be tough, the payoff is a fast-paced final level that tests your mastering of Tim’s abilities. Some may take issue with the resolution to this fairy tale, because the story of Tim and the Princess is bittersweet. Still, the pleasure of tackling Braid’s tricky puzzles is satisfaction enough.
The only downside to Braid is its length. This is one short game. Completing the full game will only take a few hours, unless you get really stuck on one of the puzzles. And once you know how to beat each puzzle, there is no reason to come back. The difficulty never scales. Not even the addition of a speed run (can you complete Braid in under an hour?) can do much to retain interest in Braid when the final chapter is read.
Xbox Live Arcade needs more games like Braid. Heck, gaming on all platforms needs more titles like this. Imaginative, innovative, and engrossing, Braid is a spectacular achievement. If only the experience lasted a little longer and there weren’t as many puzzles with singular solutions. Braid is definitely worth downloading.
