    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.

    Baba Is You is immediately completely superb, a puzzle game where you literally rewrite the rules as you play.

Most of the hate this game gets is from people who think that it is a "troll" game or that certain levels are impossible. But that is the beauty of this game.
