Definitive indie classic. I replay this annually and it's always a blast.

The time manipulation mechanic is neat but little else is that memorable.

Overrated, but it's okay I guess. The developer's a prick with an ego the size of the fucking moon so this game loses 10 points out of raw spite.

Good concepts, awfully bad looking and frustrating.

A solid return to form for platformers but it still leaves a lot left on the table in terms of potential levels and mechanical interactions. It's story was also kind of lost on me because the multiple layers of metaphor often get confused and a shocking ending doesn't make up for a complete lack of story beforehand outside of novels worth of on-screen text.

A revelation when it first came out. One of the first arthouse games to become wildly successful, but since it's release there's been other games that have attempted to cover the same ground with more success. Brilliant art design and puzzle elements, terrible story.
