      Maybe, but it’s also something very few people were looking for. The advertising I saw was basically “the old braid looked worse than you remember”. OK, but it didn’t have enough replay-ability to warrant a second purchase, and that’s not considering all the modern indie games it’s competing with.

      Then there’s the $20 price point, which it hasn’t quite earned. It’s more expensive than the Beyond good and evil anniversary edition.

      Here are some other games that are similarly priced: (steam below £16, ignoring sake price)

      • Project Zomboid
      • Phasmophobia
      • Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
      • Slay the Princess
      • Fallout: New Vegas
      • Noita …

        Here’s even more: Going Medieval, Abiotic Factor, Selaco, BeamNG, Dread Delusion, Cloudpunk

        Garry’s Mod, the most ultimate sandbox game probably ever, is only ever $10. Granted, it needs a Valve game to hook onto, but TF2 is F2P, and the rest are so cheap already anyway. And Black Mesa, the fanmade remake of the first Half-Life is only $20.

        I’m sure the fact that Braid is also on Netflix games didn’t help. I assume most people with a netflix account have access to play it on their phones.
