Braid is a curious game for a lot of reasons, despite it's impressive art style and legacy it actually isn't as enjoyable as it appears.

I remember walking and hopping around the initial levels, extremely confused, but just being mesmerized by the soundtrack and the world of Braid, and I was really curious towards Tim's character. 13 years later after its release, and its still just as amazing as it was.
Difficulty

A controller, as always with platformers is highly recommended to play but can also be played with keyboard.
