    A gem among logic games. An original concept developed by hundreds of incredibly imaginative levels has the potential to entertain for a long time. [Issue#294]

    It only took about 15 minutes for me to realize that Baba Is You truly is an extraordinary game. Its concept as well as its mechanics are refreshing and nigh perfect. Within the first level, the game teaches you how to play it without having to use even one explicit tutorial-line. And it only goes uphill from there. Sure, not every puzzle is impeccable, and I did manage to get stuck on some, but the overall joy I felt - if one of my solutions actually worked - outweighed all of that. If you’re a fan of puzzle-games, you should definitely check out Baba Is You.

    Baba is You manages to take the familiar idea of nudging blocks and solving puzzles in a fresh direction. Brilliant.

    Baba Is You is a real UFO in the puzzle games genre, and brings with him a wind of freshness. Despite its sober graphics, it unveileds all its depth thanks to its mechanics. A true unique experience.

    Baba is You is among the most seriously arduous games of its kind I’ve played, and when its rules are clear and its instructions legible, it’s gratifying in a way only hardcore suffering can be.

The gameplay is incredibly original in a world of countless of puzzle games so that alone is just monumentally impressive. Not only that: it's also structured in terms of level-progression design in a way that both lets the user progress to the end but also on-choice stay to do further harder puzzles.… Expand

Before, I highly recommended The Witness, Braid, The Swapper and Portal, but now, I just recommend this to everyone first (the rest still makes up my top 5, but Baba is way ahead). I legit bought it on the Switch after the PC just to encourage the developer and so it's easier to have my friends test it (Already converted 4 of them after like 10mins of play). It looks like **** but don't let that deter you, as you'll play the most clever and innovative puzzles out there.

    Only bad reviews are from people who thought they were good at puzzle games, but couldn't handle the Ego-check that they're not that smart. You'll feel like an idiot then a genius every level and that's the whole thrill !    … Expand

I eventually beat all the levels - without assistance - which took a long time and felt very rewarding. This would be a great game for a middle schooler alongside a basic programming curriculum, given the core game mechanic.… Expand
