that Indie Game that started it all!!!!1
Hooray. Independent video games programming has been around longer than Personal Computers have been around, but Braid helped popularize the specific "Indie Game" genre throughout the modern digital distribution platforms. Maybe it just opened the floodgates to a loooot of low end crap and Important(tm) software-like objects, I don't know, but there are some pretty nice personal favorite outliers that probably? wouldn't have been seen otherwise without this codified Indie Games trend. So, credit where credit was due, Braid was popular, had a compelling price point, and for better or worse, it changed the market! (until that market ate itself in 2015 rofl chaos reigns) The game itself is mostly ok, but there's some clever time travel features that make it stand out. Maybe I'm just old, but to me, it seemed like essentially a riff on/ripoff of/homage to the original Super Mario Bros. 1, but with none of the expressive personality and wit that made it so remarkable for its time. It also subverts your narrative expectations, because that's what all great art ever in the history of the world does, right? RIGHT? Jeez Louise. The graphics and music are patently inoffensive but pretty relaxing. I found the platforming puzzles to be extremely engaging! However, I did hit the wall and got stumped a few times. Again, I love the do-over mechanics and manipulating the flow of events in real time. I feel these things could be utilized in more games even today. As far any sort of artistic statement on the part of the author? Meh. It's some phony baloney deconstructionist screed. It's pretty dated too, a decade later. Just let people enjoy things at face value, my dude. It's not that deep. I'd give Braid a 3/5 because I think the specific time travel platforming game mechanics are actually very worthwhile but it takes its own navel gazings about repackaging the stuff we already know about video games a little too too seriously.
