Braid, Anniversary Edition Reviews

is good?

O_O I'm speechless

This is an amazing upgrade to the original game. The improvement in visuals and music is really notorious, and the new content is great too. The commentary is rich and extensive, truly valuable if you're interested in any aspect of game development. The only criticism I can make is that it's very easy to get lost when traveling between worlds with the commentary portals, but otherwise it's a really solid upgrade.

tedious garbage + whiny developer = forgettable uninspiring crap

Worth it. Коментарі розробників дійсно цікаві, особливо про дизайн пазлів

TL;DR: The Anniversary Edition is a must have for fans and people new to the game alike. Its also a lovely resource, a guide, and a museum for gamers, game developers, admirers of art and storytelling, and it's a joy to visit. I am playing Braid for the third time (the Anniversary Edition for the first time) and I look forward to every moment I spend in this work of art. Long version: Tim made a mistake....in fact, he made several mistakes because of which the princess' love turned into contempt and he lost something irreplaceable. Tim owns up to his mistakes and apologises, and he asks if that does not make things right, fix everything as long as he does not make that mistake again? In an ideal world, wouldn't the response be "It's okay, don't worry about it, I still love you?" Has he not suffered enough with his guilt, his regrets? But if we forgave so easily, would it not mean we were suppressing ourselves and brushing away our hurt? Maybe. I think it’s not just Tim who has made mistakes, but it’s implied that even the princess may have made mistakes. But Tim can only take responsibility and fix this, on his own if he has to. Forgiveness is a tricky fish to catch. Tim does not forgive himself and cannot let go. So he must set out to find the princess again to tell her he made a mistake and he can fix everything. Tim is sorry and he knows he can make it right, somehow. His tiny apartment is surrounded by a world that is burning and turning to ashes soon...so he must venture inwards to understand the pieces that he lost somewhere, to put them all together and get his princess back. This is my third time playing the game (first time playing the Anniversary Edition) and I hope to find some peace, some distraction from my own mistakes. An escape from my own burning world, if you will. Because, just like Tim, I too have made several mistakes recently. Broke a few hearts. The Tim inside me believes that if he can only rewind and revisit everything, he can understand things better and mend what has been broken into tiny pieces. To quote Tool, he knows that the pieces fit. Unlike Tim though, I find myself trying to hold back; I am trying to talk myself out of this madness, this obsession. Rumination leads me to this rabbit hole. But time and memory are strange things....one moment, I find myself outside of it, the next, I relive those mistakes as if they just happened. Forgiveness is stranger still. Every moment Tim spends obsessively seeking the princess and her "forgiveness", he is denying himself his own forgiveness. Its not the princess' forgiveness he really needs, but his own. We are all flawed and incomplete...like pieces of jigsaw. Seeking to fit somewhere and be completed. But sometimes, like Tim, we forget that its okay to be flawed, its okay to make mistakes, and suffering from a broken heart and having broken dreams is all part of life. Sometimes we learn that lesson the hard way. Our obsession, our overthinking and self-destructive quest to experience that beautiful moment over and over, to fulfil that dream, to keep a paradise that is not meant to stay...it just leads to more pain and suffering. And one mistake turns to many, and we end up hurting someone, something, or our self. Be kind, rewind. Lets figure this out together with Tim.

这游戏感觉还是很需要对脑电波，其中某些拿星点非常难跳，部分解谜有些烧脑，有些实在想不出来怎么全解，去看攻略后倒是依然觉得设计巧妙，直呼自己怎么没想到呢。总的来说，有不少游戏设计很值得借鉴，但真正玩起来的过程却不是很享受，8.8分。

Great game, puzzles are challenging but very rewarding. Tried The Witness after and found it pointless and dull in comparison, Braid is where its at.

A game for people who smoke, or people who drink - if you drink beer and you get drunk, or if you smoke weed and you get high. It's about this little guy in a suit, walking around. You just walk around jumping on stuff. It looks like Mario in the future.

唉，玩完Braid週年版後真的是五味雜陳 Braid的原版是00年代獨立遊戲商業化的始祖之一，啟發了大量遊戲製作人，也直接令發行商更願意給獨立遊戲發行，甚至間接催生了眾多專門發行獨立遊戲的發行商（當然這不僅是Braid的功勞，齊名的還有Fez、N和洞窟物語等）。Braid本身也是優秀的解謎遊戲，獨特的機制、隱晦深奧的劇情，和令人震驚的結局。這一切令遊戲的製作人Jonathan Blow，吹哥，成為解謎遊戲之神、獨立遊戲商業化之神、機制啟發之神。Braid週年版主要添加了新美術、新關卡，和製作人員解說 遊戲我自然是會買的，我從小就開始玩吹哥的遊戲。Braid是真的沒必要重新做美術，原本的已經很好了，比對之下肯定看得出來，畢竟高清化嘛，還在遠景和近景之間添加了很多『中景』。但是你不說其實根本就看不出來。原版的Braid一樣振奮人心，單從美術上說新版並沒有添加到什麼 至於新關卡方面，2024年你就端這坨大便出來，吹哥是不是不會做解謎遊戲了？以下含少量劇透。點名批評『抓握』、『要塞』和『雙管』。首先『抓握』是真的噁心，根本就是很簡單的謎題偏要考你操作。『要塞』更噁心，放兩隻巨慢的植物怪擋路，重來的時候想要走快一點都不行，還想讓玩家察覺其實要靠植物怪的出生頻率來計時，我想製作人應該在沾沾自喜當玩家察覺到這個設計的時候會感受到的驚歎。我拜託你吹哥，這真的是一點創意都沒有好不好，不要說開計時器，但凡我心中默念5秒都比你植物怪強了好不好，兩個字：噁心。『雙管』，我都不知道你是怎麼設計的這個謎題，根本簡單到不得了，為什麼這麼簡單的謎題會放在世界七？ 最後就是解說，太噁心了。我舉個例子，在音樂那邊，你就乾脆老實一點承認沒錢，所以用開源音樂。講一些冠冕堂皇的話噁心人幹什麼？現在哪有獨立遊戲不把音樂也盡力做好的？全世界都知道Braid是為了省錢才用開源音樂，就你一個人不知道？還反過來說別人精心為遊戲量身訂做的音樂不是音樂？ 十年了，吹哥你就端出這坨大便，但凡你再出一個遊戲我都願意重新奉你為神。但是請不要這樣消費粉絲了，你要是做不出來就別做了，現在認識你的人還有多少？你要不要玩玩看別人做的解謎遊戲？解謎遊戲和獨立遊戲已經不再受你啟發了
