Amazing, innovative game that must be experienced by all, but will probably be understood by a few.

Braid is a masterfully done game aimed at gamers that like to think. Its a mix of puzzle and platforming with clever references to other games like Super Mario. Definitely done with the old school gamer in mind, Braid manages to catch our attention with basic but intelligent gameplay and an emotive story about love, forgiveness and a broken heart (at least thats the way I see it, everyone its entitled to their own interpretation).
Its not a game for everyone thats for sure. It can be a really head scratcher at times, especially in the later worlds, but the sense of accomplishment is really amazing when you figure things out by your own. One of the rare games that makes you feel smart for beating it.
The only cons I can say about the game are the lack of replayability (after all, after you figure out the puzzles you wont feel the urge to play it again) and the short campaign (roughly around 2 hours the first playthrough, depending on your "intelligence").
One last word for the artstyle. Tully AMAZING! Its literally like a painting coming to life. Jonathan Blow (Braids Creator) is congratulated. He has done a classic game out of a few hundred dollars.
