I was not so thrilled when playing Braid. First of all I really liked the idea - but after some levels it got cumbersome. Some of the events can not be rolled back totally - so you have some annoying levels, where you have to start from the beginning (at least this is my foggy memory).

The story was absolutely cheesy - I simply lost interest in it. Which is not really something unusual, because I am not a gamer at all.

The story was only cheesy if you took it at face value.

You can say that about any story.

Cheesy?! Did you finish the game?

Wow, the Braid gameplay was damn different - not completely original, it was definitely influenced by Viewtiful Joe - but certainly a departure from the standard sidescroller action.

But the story was truly remarkable - in my top five best game stories, easy. As others have mentioned, you must not have played for very long.
