From the moment Baby Steps was first announced, I knew there was a chaotic, frustrating, and hilarious experience waiting for us. It turned out to be all of that and more. And sure, many are going to view it as a “streamer”-geared game because of how easy content can come from it. However, if you truly take the time to examine Baby Steps for what it actually is, you’ll discover something more. It’s not just a collection of viral moments; it’s a game for a specific kind of player—one who can appreciate the genius in its infuriating simplicity and the profound satisfaction in its difficulty. For those willing to embrace the falls, the crude humor, and the brutal journey, Baby Steps is a game you won’t want to miss. It proves that the most memorable adventures are often those where every single step is a hard-won victory.

Hilarious, bittersweet, surreal and rage-inducing all in equal measure, Baby Steps is a journey that you'll want to join Nate on.

I hope it’s obvious that I loved Baby Steps. I loved how it immediately allured me with its silly controls, wacky world and characters, and the numerous challenges that were largely fun (AND NEVER MADE ME MAD). It’s not as laser-focused as something like Getting Over It, which felt like a tightly-controlled roller coaster of an experience. This is more akin to a theme park, albeit one where the fun is largely in your hands. You get to decide how much or how little of the world you want to engage with. You get to decide which challenges are enjoyable diversions and which ones aren’t worth your time. You get to decide just how much you want to flail around, with each step forward one step closer to reaching the end. And when you get there, you’ll have realized that some things are worth doing the hard way, and others, well, let’s just say it’s good to have friends by your side.
