Humble Indie Bundle V

[Jake]

Seems like I usually have the good games in these bundles by the time they come out.

I have and played through Psychonauts about a year or so ago. Very very good game. One of my favorites actually.
I got Braid a little while back and played through it. Definitely unique gameplay and story telling. I would recommend it.
I just finished Bastion about a month ago. Absolutely recommend this one. It's amazing.
I have Super Meat Boy but I'm not so much into the ultra-difficult platform games. It seems like a fun game, but frustrating to me.
I don't have Limbo, but I was interested in it.
And I haven't heard much about the other games.

Super Meat boy isn't too hard, but there is some repetition involved with beating the harder levels. I can see how it might be frustrating for some people.

I've played Bastion to the end. I was able to get it to think that my controller is an Xbox 360 controller by following instructions on Youtube and downloading some software.

Bastion is now my absolute favorite game in this bundle, even better than Psychonauts. The combat is great, the amount of choice I have is surprisingly large, and the levels are well designed, although it can be a little repetitive at times. The narrator is awesome, and a lot of his comments are very clever. "The good news is that the security is working. The bad news is that they're aiming for the Kid." (or something like that)

Since Braid is now part of this bundle, might as well review it. The game is...okay. It had some pretty clever level design...too clever. The problem I have with this game is that the solutions to most of the later puzzles are far too vague and I had to have a walkthrough open 70% of the time.

Honestly I got caught on the first boss and just sort of gave up. When I have to repeat a level from the beginning over and over and over again it just bugs the crap out of me. The other levels were still difficult but I was able to pass them.

I dunno, I guess it's not that it's difficult, it's more how it is challenging. It's just skill repitition over and over until you get it just right. Which to me is not fun.
