Baba Is You Reviews
Baba is You is smart, but as later levels force you to consider more variables, the charm wears away
Baba is You is a clever, challenging indie puzzle game that often confounds, though not always in satisfying ways.
Baba is You has very high peaks, especially in the early stages and in the introduction of new rules, but its lows are terrible. Trying to be extremely difficult, it ends up with a bad, frustrating, and stale level design. The game seems to have forgotten that less is usually more.

Baba Is You is genuinely impressive. Changing the rule set of the game as you play is a powerful and compelling tool.
Baba Is You constructs a game principle of immense depth and complexity, which fascinates and occupies over many hours - and never loses its fascination. For all fans of puzzles: Baba is Win!

Enjoy a relaxing puzzle game that innovates game mechanics in an easy and accessible way that doesn't lose the challenge that makes puzzle games entertaining.
Sokoban and coding collide in this clever puzzler.
The game has over 200 puzzles, and I’m roughly 50 deep. I plan to make my way to the finish line, not just because it’s a great game — and it is! — but because its obsession with rules has me rethinking the rules in every other game I love. It’s selfless in a way, a game that lets you bend its rules to appreciate the rules in everything else.
But this is wonderful. Completely wonderful. Original, inspired, challenging, and most importantly of all, that constant sense of “Oh no, how will I ever do this one!” so quickly followed by, “I AM A GENIUS!” It’s a very, very smart game, that has the humility to let you, the player, feel like the clever one
Baba is You show us, what's possible in puzzle games. Not only is an exercise in breaking the mold of a genre, but also a new and creative way to make us understand the underlying mechanics and then show us that it can be even harder. Without a doubt, Baba is You is one of the best games this year.
