In 2008, Jonathan Blow released puzzle platformer Braid on Xbox Live Arcade, and the industry was never the same again. The original Braid paved the way for indie games as we know them today, influencing countless other developers to pursue their own passion projects, but it has unfortunately been trapped on older hardware for years. Luckily, Braid: Anniversary Edition makes it more accessible to modern audiences. 16 years after the original game made its XBLA timed-exclusive debut, Braid: Anniversary Edition has been released across PC, Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox.
