Baba Is You is a puzzle game where you can change the rules by which you play. In every level, the rules themselves are present as blocks you can interact with; by manipulating them, you can change how the level works and cause surprising, unexpected interactions! With some simple block-pushing you can turn yourself into a rock, turn patches of grass into dangerously hot obstacles, and even change the goal you need to reach to something entirely different.

Critic Reviews
The Game is a Lie
By Lucca CardosoBaba 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.
DualShockers
By Chris CompendioPossibly the most original puzzle game in recent memory, Baba is You is also an exercise in frustration and stretched-out logic.
GameLuster
By Sam Begley-MayEnjoy 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.
Nintendo Life
By Zion GrasslBaba Is You is like a compilation of gift shop brain teasers; they’re not for everyone, but some people can’t get enough of them. And while it may sound like just another sketchy smartphone game, it’s surprisingly one of the most unique puzzlers you can find on the Switch and the way in which it encourages you to break its rules and create your own ones is refreshing and unique.
Geeks Under Grace
By Andrew FeistnerBaba Is You is a genius way to breath new life into the puzzle genre with its perfect blend of simple mechanics meeting mind-melting difficulty.
