Dec 4, 2023Born of Bread is a perfectly baked RPG, fun and enjoyable from beginning to end. And even if it's not a milestone for the genre, who can resist a good loaf just out of the oven?

Dec 15, 2023Born of Bread presents a captivating adventure complemented by delightful visuals; however, its allure is diminished due to the incorporation of inadequately functional RPG elements. While the tale of an improbable hero unfolds through a straightforward narrative, the overall experience is marred by technical issues and a less-than-rewarding progression system.

Dec 7, 2023It’s a shame that the combat of Born of Bread only feels half-baked, as it brings down what is otherwise a relatively entertaining adventure. Though while it might prove to be too irksome for some players, those who can at least tolerate it will find that the positives of the game outweigh the negatives on the whole, resulting in an RPG with plenty of charm and some genuinely funny moments.

Dec 7, 2023Born of Bread would grab your attention if it was in the shop window of a bakery. It has all the hallmark elements for a warm and inviting paperlike RPG, though its contents are lacklustre with a basic story, systems that punish your exploration and a combat system that needs a little tinkering. However, the heart of the game and all-around pleasantries do make it at least half a baker’s dozen.

Dec 6, 2023Born of Bread may look unique but in reality, this is your run-of-the-mill action RPG. Some decent ideas can’t disguise the formulaic ingredients on offer. In terms of bread, it's more supermarkets’ own than an artisanal sourdough. When it comes to bread-based games, you deserve butter.
