Modest art, minimal animation, few colors: Baba Is You looks like a bare-bones MS-DOS game, a dusty relic from the early ’80s. But it’s one of the most inventive games I played in 2017, and one of my most anticipated releases of 2018.
I won’t spoil its many surprises. Instead, I’ll try to concisely explain the way it operates. Baba Is You is a puzzle game, and like a good joke, it loses something when explained. Stick with me.
