Braid was about innovative gameplay
The platforming was terrible. The time manipulation was neat but all the puzzles except one or two were far too easy.
Didn't play Limbo, but if it's anything story driven
I didn't think Braid was story driven but a lot of people did. Limbo is like Braid minus the cool time mechanic and minus those fragments of text you got between the worlds. So it's basically a shitty platformer with trial and error ``puzzles''. For example something kills you because you can't really anticipate everything and because it's hard to see clearly with the black & white graphics. You die and you are set back about 5 seconds and now you can easily avoid the obstacle. Of course I only played about half of it and even then I forced myself. It is so boring it's painful. One of the worst games I've played.

I thought they were good but not as good as the first one. It didn't have bunny hopping and it felt less adventurous somehow. I liked that in the first one there's you and the scientists, the military and the aliens from Xen and everyone is at war with each other. In HL2 you were against the Combine and that's about it. I still thought it was great but HL1 just blew my mind.
