Braid Review
Despite not actually being that long ago, it feels like an age since Braid was first released on Xbox Live Arcade in August, 2008. Now just over a year later, the game has since seen releases on PC and Mac, and now it's time for the game to become available to PlayStation 3 owners via the PlayStation Network. In the time that's passed, does Braid still manage to retain its initial charm and complexity?
Players control a man named Tim who is searching for a princess that has been snatched by a monster. Not much is divulged about their history, but Tim wants to try and make amends for something that happened in the past. As players progress through the game, small parts of story are revealed to players at the start of each level, and what initially seems like a simple premise quickly turns into something much deeper. Oddly enough though, the story is actually quite minimal with regards to the game as a whole. It focuses on some pressing issues, but players could miss out altogether if they skip the optional sequences.
