    Perhaps the PC market is saturated with similar experiences but I'm happy to see something like this on a console.    … Expand

    Interesting game. Physics-based game with some comedy. Definitely for people who enjoyed games like Surgeon Simulator or Goat Simulator. I had some fun with it for awhile, but the gameplay is actually rather challenging. Luckily, after you fail to not get too dirty they give you a coin that allows you to get as dirty as you want so you can progress, but I even found myself needing a goodInteresting game.

A good game to grab and mess around with, but know what to expect.

    The game is crap. Everything about it is terrible, from the controls to the gameplay. What a waste of money. Even if it was free I wouldn't recommend it.

    I was kind of looking forward to this but I wish I hadn't been. The games camera makes it damn near unplayable a leads to frustration, something I rarely ever do with a game. Do not waste your money on this.

    It keeps all the fun of surgeon simulator without the trouble of having to help some guy "live,". Just toast some bread to get ahead. Sounds like me when I wake up.

    I Am Bread puts the player in control of a slice of bread with the goal of each level being to turn into toast. If the bread becomes too dirty, by touching the floor or certain objects, the level is failed.

    It's very stupid, and that's what makes it fun. Yes, it's very hard to control at first, but you get the hang of it. It's a pretty fun little time waster.

    My standards were not high for this game- cause come on, you flop around as bread and try to toast yourself. It's a funny and cool idea but the controls were not easy or fun to use. Also there is one music track and it's short so maybe be ready to find other music to listen to. It has a cool concept and I wish that it had been more developed before they released it.

    Takeaways
    Pros: flopping around as bread is funny.
    Cons: terrible work on game controls make game hard to play and enjoy, annoying music.    … Expand

    The concept is outrageous, but it works. However, at the end of the day, it is a game about a piece of bread.

    If you're willing to rise to the challenge and master its crumby controls, there's just about enough novelty to make it worth your while despite its limited shelf life. [Nov 2015, p.107]

    Overall I can't really recommend I am Bread. Like Bossa Studios' previous title, Surgeon Simulator, the frustration between controls and camera just overpowers the sense of humor it tries to have.
