9 Ways Video Games Humiliated You For Being Bad At Them

5. Braid Criticises You For Looking Up Walkthroughs

Now, this is a unique entry in that it actually happens outside of the game itself, and you have to bring your newfound shame back to the title the next time you boot it up.

Apart from being one of the most inventive indie games ever, with a fascinatingly ambiguous story, Braid is also a challenging puzzle-platformer first and foremost.

Consequently, there's a good chance that you'll get stuck at some point. And, of course, because we live in a society where nobody has an attention span anymore, you might be inclined to check out a walkthrough - and what better one to start with than the guide featured on the official Braid site?

If you head there, you'll be treated to a detailed, step-by-step walkthrough of the first level, but when you click onto the next page you'll encounter an interesting message.

That's because the guide ends after the first level, and the next page is a plea from the developers for players to avoid guides and figure out the puzzles for themselves, regardless of whether it takes them hours.
