10 Video Game Remasters NOBODY Asked For

Braid is undeniably one of the most iconic and successful games from the indie game boom of the late 2000s and early 2010s - an ingeniously conceived and executed puzzle-platformer that's fondly regarded to this very day.

And yet, was anyone angling for a remaster? Apparently not.

Braid, Anniversary Edition - a remaster touting repainted visuals, smoother animations, reworked audio, and even dozens of new levels - came and went without making a dent this past May, enough that even designer Jonathan Blow later admitted that it "sold like dog s**t." Yikes.

As brilliant as Braid is, it's simply not a game that left its many fans itching to open their wallets for a shinier new version. The original iteration still looks excellent, which combined with its short three-hour play-time ensured this remaster was predictably dead on arrival.

Plus, for as innovative as Braid was in 2008, clever indie puzzle-platformers are a dime a dozen in 2024, so why shell out again for something you probably already own?
