Critic Reviews
Just Play it
By Ahmed Nadjib CHAITABaby Steps is unconventional in every way: a strange and unique gameplay style, a difficulty that is sometimes fun and sometimes frustrating, and sarcastic dialogues that hide deep messages beneath the surface. It’s an experience that may make you laugh or may leave you discouraged, but it will definitely be unlike any other game you’ve played before.
La Orden del Pixel
By Exequiel MorgendorfferThe title by Gabe Cuzzillo, Maxi Boch, and Bennett Foddy offers a contemplative and poetic journey where every stumble belongs to us and makes us responsible for what happens to us. It is an experience that transforms the resignation of existence into acceptance of the wonderful experience that is life, or the simple need to find a bathroom and a new sofa. Walking, stumbling, getting frustrated, and trying again. That's not just playing: it's accepting the art of living.
TheSixthAxis
By Stefan LAs literal a walking simulator as you could want for, Baby Steps makes no secret of being a challenging, punishing game. It's enjoyable in a way, and the awkward sense of humour laced throughout both the gameplay and the story will appeal to some, but that enthusiasm drains after the opening couple hours.
Gaming Boulevard
By Toon BorremansBaby Steps made me feel like a clumsy, awkward human being, and that is the biggest compliment I can give it. Despite the lacklustre writing, the gameplay more than makes up for it. Using a simple gameplay mechanic in varied environments allowed me to shape my own experience in a fun way while keeping me on my toes throughout. If you're interested in Baby Steps but don't want to experience the challenge first-hand, I'd recommend looking for someone streaming the game. Either way, I have no doubt you will have fun.
