I love time control mechanics. In this game, time only moves when you do, but the food will still degrade, so you have to be quick. Go play Time 4 Cat.

I finally beat: Braid
Well, finally may not be the right word. I played through this one pretty quick. My initial impressions held up throughout, and exceeded in terms of story. Very similar to Portal in both story presentation and gameplay. Platforming that requires perfect timing and precision, but a gameplay mechanic that makes what seems impossible easy. It is less about skill, and more about knowing what you want to do. So, let’s delve into a few specifics of things Braid did right and wrong, as a compliment Sandwich:

Braid is simply a marvelous game. One could think ‘Mario Bros with Time Control’ would help give an idea, a glimpse of concept, as to how it plays.
But it doesn’t.
Time control was revolutionary with Prince of Persia. It allowed the game to be brutally difficult, slaughtering your character left and right, but a press of a button and it was as if it had never happened. You had the mix of classic challenging gameplay with the new school though of “I don’t want to play level 1-1, again.”
This isn’t what Braid is.
