    Yeah this title wasn’t begging for a remaster.

    It was interesting, at the time, but far more interesting, thoughtful, and artistic indie games have popped up since.

    It’s artstyle isn’t as unique as it was on release, nor is the gameplay. It’s no small wonder it did not do well.

    This guy must have been huffing his own farts thinking this was a good time and market to do it in.

    It’s never been tougher for indie games, and people are outright bored by linear narratives. Braid is presented with events out-of-order but it still tells a linear story.

    Much more complex narratives exist now, and Braid just can’t compete on that level.
