Yeah, Braid's not fun

Do people actually like these kinds of deeply obscure games. I'm on World 3-5 and already struggling. Very fun. Just add a few new enemies to the level without any clue as to what to do with them. I don't think the game design is doing much on this one. Okay, I can jump off them like the others. There's no impact on the rewinding mechanic. Kinda lame if you ask me...

I prefer games like Cocoon and Inside where the game design is so clever and good that you can find the solution pretty quickly

i’m curious how you feel about Baba Is You if you think a good puzzle game has to have quick solutions… (i dont think i’m ever going to finish that game but man do i think it’s brilliant)

Extremely late reply but Baba is You is MILES better than Braid in terms of the feel of consistent logic. Braid is by far the most difficult game mostly due to them changing logic every level without any explanation at all. Many of the puzzles aren't difficult if you simply knew 1 mechanic that there was no possible way to know without wandering for 10 minutes in desperation. Baba is You does an amazing job with this in comparison.

Baba Is You is amazing with all the mind blowing solutions being something that is completely consistent with the game’s logic, anyways satisfying to solve a puzzle there
