Braid

Braid - Xbox 360

Pros Cons
Amazing visuals Poor storytelling
Awesome audio  
Innovative concepts  
Worth it.

With amazing visuals and interesting gameplay, Braid is a great game. The background paintings and animated characters are bright and beautiful, and the sound track is a mix of well-picked orchestral songs. Braid also boasts some very original, very cool puzzles mostly dealing with the manipulation of time.

However, Braid has plenty of shortcomings. First, the storytelling. Before every chapter the story is told through several long and cryptic text passages. Despite being written with compelling words, they are hard to follow - I had to look through forums to have the messages explained. Also, several levels are recycled, making this short game feel a little shorter. While each chapter has different puzzles, you often play in the same environment multiple times - this gets a little old.

Braid is a great game, and while it has a few shortcomings, they hardly affect the game play, making Braid worth buying if you are interested in it.
