Slant community chat on DiscoursePro Based around controlling time
The game is focused entirely on the mechanic of time moving only when you move, with few other FPS game elements.
Pro Great art style
The art style blends really well with the sci-fi'ish/cyberpunkish subject matter and game mechanics.
Pro Multiple ways time is affected
Completing the game's short story mode unlocks challenges and alternate modes that can greatly affect how time works.
Pro Clever game mechanics
Braid utilizes a rewind mechanic where in the player can rewind the action in the game at any time. This is coupled with puzzle layouts to each lever where the player has to use the rewind mechanics to reach certain spots in a level.
Pro An ambiguous, yet impactful retelling of a man's downfall and a warning to others
Braid is a story about loss and obsessiveness and how those forces drive the hunt for redemption.
Con Story is depressing
There is a definite sense of melancholy while playing this game which can make for a depressing experience while playing the game, which may reduce the amount of time played.
Pro Visually impressive gore
Uses the "M.E.A.T. system", which lets zeds be split into some 20 different body parts, all affected by soft-body physics.
Pro Slow time is visually distinct
The game turns black and white, except for gunfire, explosions and blood, all beautifully rendered.
Pro Frequent slowing of time
Scoring headshots and multiple kills of zeds through exclusives puts every player into 'zed time' -- which happens multiple times per wave.
Pro Humorous story
The plot of Super Time Force Ultra consists of the main characters going back in time to alter events in history. The twist is that most of the reasons they do so are petty and selfish. This gives the game a light-hearted tone that can be laugh-out-loud funny at times.
Pro Single player co-op
The co-op in Super Time Force Ultra is actually only single-player. Players co-op with themselves by rewinding time and then playing that time over with what are now two players on the screen.
Con Short
The game can be completed in only a couple of hours.
Pro Ragdoll physics
Introduced ragdoll physics into the Max Payne series, effecting a big visual improvement.
Pro Limited bullet time as a game mechanic
Max has an hourglass that fills up with kills. You can run it down to go into bullet-time.
