Pros
Pro Wonderfully challenging
On the outset, Braid looks like any other platformer but once any time is spent with the game, users soon find that the puzzles are deviously difficult, forcing users to think outside of the box and even time itself.
Pro Clever game mechanics
Braid utilizes a rewind mechanic wherein 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 Most brilliant puzzle mechanic and unique art style
Nearly the father of indies and an amazing experience that never gets old. A very unique experience.
Pro Unisual mechanics for genre
Time control is not much used in games of that type. Espesially when its used like core mechanic of the game.
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.
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 4 different soldiers to play
There are four different soldiers the player can use on each time rewind playthrough, each with their own weapon. Some soldiers are required to get past certain areas, which creates the need for a bit of planning for each and every level.
Pro Pixel artwork and sound design are well done
The pixel artwork and chiptune sound design complement each other and call to mind the 8-bit style. Super Time Force Ultra incorporates some modern touches by taking advantage of newer technology that allows for more sounds at once as well as including more detailed and cleaner sprite work.
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.
