I was going to wait for it to come down in price to 800 points, but a couple hours ago, I decided to buy it. Mostly because of everyone, and every review, raving about how great it is.

I have to say, I am very glad that I bought it. This game is just absolutely amazing. I’m not close to finished yet, but I am just loving the game. The experiance is like no other gave I’ve played before.This game easily deserves the high review scores it has been getting.

Will there be a sequel to Braid? I hope so, this game is amazing.

Congratulations on a remarkable game. Just to add to the pile: Joystick Division (Village Voice Media’s gaming blog) just posted their review as well, 5 out of 5 on their scale.

It’s at JoystickDivision.com.

I picked this up on the strength of the Eurogamer 10/10 review and I have to say the 1200 points is a drop in the ocean if it will help Jonathon keep producing such sublime games. I’ve been playing computer games since Spade Invaders in the 70s and I can honestly say this is one of the most wonderful games I’ve ever played.

Congratulations! And more please!

I can’t believe some reviewers gave this less than a 10/10, citing replayability as an issue. Speed run? [Spoiler Redacted]??…..thank you for 2 fun filled hours on World 2-2 Jonathon 🙂 I trust you know what I mean!!

Btw I set up a appreciation group on facebook for your game. Hope you don’t mind. Seriously this game is one of my favourite games ever. Please make some sort of sequel. I would pay anything for a sequel. The artwork, narrative, gameplay of this title is up there with Bioshock, Portal and Metal Gear Solid 4.

I only have one problem with this game. No, not the price. But the fact that it will never be fully appreciated by the gaming community. It hasn’t got a fraction of the exposure it deserves. Also, some people will turn there heads because of the price; I fully understand why it has to be priced in such a way, but some people will not.

Thank you Jonathon Blow for this truely magnificent game.
