The Bridge is a rare gem in terms of style and game design; the value of which, however, is overshadowed by a slightly oversized selling price.

Felt compelled to register an account to write this. This game answers the question as to whether games are an artform. The game is fun. Best puzzler since Limbo.

There's enough new – even outside of is sombre atmosphere and unique art style – to make The Bridge an entertaining puzzle game.
Despite a few flaws, The Bridge is a very good puzzle game.
You’ll encounter fascinating puzzles in “impossible” labyrinths. Unfortunately most of the time trial-and-error will win over logic.
It's lovely to look at, but the process of puzzle-solving feels pedestrian. [May 2013, p.61]
A cool concept without much game behind it that's ready to be tossed into the growing pile of Braid-a-likes. [Apr 2013, p.84]
Decent puzzle game. Despite it's escheresque presentation, most of the puzzles are not nearly as convoluted as they may first appear: most solutions are pretty straight forward and the amount of lateral thinking required is pretty low. This sums up in a somewhat unappealing gameplay that would, by itself, make an sub-average puzzle game if it weren't for overall graphical appeal. The art style is commendable and is perhaps the very reason I kept playing the game. On the technical side, the game often feels tedious due to the control's sluggishness (even on a high end gaming rig). Overall, don't expect a masterpiece but The Bridge can sure fill one evening or two if only to enjoy stepping in a sweet, grey Escher like universe.

Nice graphics and gameplay at first. But later, when I get stucked I found a walkthrough on YouTube and I was curiuos that some puzzles(mirrored part) are more like "step exactly on this pixel" or "find weird physics glitch" than puzzles I expect from puzzle game. I did not finished it.

The Bridge is a physics based puzzler with poor physics mechanics. That right there spells the downfall of the game. It tries to be like Braid by allowing you to rewind time and offering attempts at witty quotes in between levels, but none of it is anywhere near as good. There is no pacing in the levels. You'll start out easy, then they will quickly ramp up the difficulty, only to lower it again later. Levels will range from being a minute long to over a half hour (if you want a particular achievement). Some of the levels just because needlessly tedious. By the end, The Bridge is a chore to play when it should have been a casual experience.

Summary The Bridge is a 2D logic puzzle game that forces the player to reevaluate their preconceptions of physics and perspective.
