Braid, Anniversary Edition

I played it. It has cool time manipulation, and puzzles. However, Johnathan Blow, more like Johnathan Blowhard, Blowout. HATING ON BOSS FIGHTS for goodness sake! The story is kind of dumb with its attempts to connect to the gameplay, feeling like its trying to be something but kind of fails to have deep meaning.

当之无愧的解谜神作，非常惊艳

I used gpt to translate from my czech text to en (I know en but can't write natural like in czech) ========================================================================== I've played through the Order of the Sinking Star demo twice (the 105-level demo). I absolutely loved it, and right now it's my most anticipated game since waiting for KCD II. Yep, much more than GTA 6 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) So I figured I'd make the wait a bit shorter and found out that Jonathan Blow had made two other legendary games: The Witness, which looks absolutely gorgeous, and Braid. The problem was, I didn't really feel like getting into The Witness yet—I heard it's quite demanding and long. And from the screenshots, Braid just looked to me like a weird Mario with strange, ugly graphics. Just an old, bizarre game. But once I booted it up, the graphics suddenly looked incredibly beautiful in motion, and the time-manipulation mechanics were really interesting. Little by little, I started falling for it. Whenever I was in the mood, I'd jump in for a few puzzles. But about halfway through the game, something finally clicked in my brain. Once I got the hang of it, I became slightly addicted, and from around the 60% mark onward, I finished the rest of the game in one sitting. I have to say: to me, this is an absolute masterpiece and a true work of art. It's like a peculiar painting where the artist first teaches you how to perceive its colors and how to think the way he thinks. The time mechanics work on several levels at once. They're a great puzzle mechanic, they're simply fun and cool to play with, but at the same time they force you to stretch your imagination and start perceiving time in a completely different way. Without even realizing it, you begin thinking about cause and effect, alternate timelines, different possibilities, and how the same events can look completely different depending on the direction from which you experience them. And all of that perfectly supports the story. By the time the game asks you to look at its events differently, it has already spent hours teaching your brain how to do exactly that. Then came the ending. My jaw hit the floor. First one massive surprise, and then another. I highly recommend it to everyone. Take your time ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) And play this masterpiece .. .. piece by piece. --- 100% ---
