I went back to play Braid recently after having some fond memories of playing it 15-years ago (as hard as I find that to believe). I still loved the pastel art-style, and the soundtrack is amazing. I got a super cozy vibe when I was playing. However, in terms of the actual gameplay, the puzzle-solving was a lot more frustrating than I remember. I did still enjoy the time reversal system and the way you use it to solve puzzles.
When it's clicking, it can be a very rewarding experience. However, there were many puzzle pieces that I simply just gave up on out of sheer frustration, which ultimately ended up leading to me walking away from the game. I couldn't figure out if the issue was that I was just incompetent (very likely) or if I was supposed to come back with an ability-upgrade to finish them later, and I couldn't recall from my previous venture in 2009. I also feel like the game didn't do a good job of making that clear either.

Ultimately, I feel like with the strides that indie games have made over the last decade, the gameplay in Braid just didn't age as well as I had hoped. Still, from an artistic perspective, it still shines.

I love and respect everything this game is, but my admiration is just that--admiration. I respect its evershifting gameplay and smart level design, I respect its themes, I loved the writing and the fascinating piece of gaming history that it is, particularly in how it paved the way for indie titles to be unflinching auteur experiences compared to the stagnant nature most big companies were occupying at the time. But I honestly lack the patience to actually have fun solving the puzzles and found it a lot more frustrating than engaging. When I'm older and wiser I think I'll come around on loving everything about it, but I'm putting it on the shelf for now

When a person creates something destructive, he does not think about his action and the consequences of them, since it is not his hands that will destroy his own species for the benefit of anything. The game is so modest because it hides the unpleasant life experiences that many have encountered. Interpret it however you want, it's a game, an all-too-personal gaming experience.

Когда человек создает что-то разрушительное, он не задумывается над своим действием и последствием от них, так как не его руками будет уничтожен его же вид во благо чего угодно. Настолько скромная игра, насколько в ней скрыт неприятный опыт жизни, с которым многие сталкивались. Интерпретируйте как хотите, это игра, слишком личный игровой опыт.
