I have been a fan of puzzle games for my entire life. I LOVE a challenge. The problem with many puzzle games of this day and age is that most have fallen into a very specific category with a rote formula. You have the classic "escape game" of "get x object to do this thing, find code, walk out door." You have number and math puzzles galore. You have physics puzzles, where you have to get something to fall JUST the right way. Wash, rinse, repeat. Don't get me wrong, these games all have their special place in my heart, and I do still enjoy them from time to time. But then there came Baba is You.

Baba is You does something that I had long given up hope of a game ever doing again. Baba is You has created an ENTIRELY new concept of puzzle. Unique, challenging, but with a simple-to-learn concept, BIY is something completely different. It bends the very idea of the reality of a game, twisting traditional gaming on it's head. All the while, still presenting the same EXACT goal of practically ANY game: Get [YOU] to [WIN]. In so doing, Baba is You has created something precious, and reminded us that there are always new ideas out there in the gaming universe, you just have to find them.

10/10, A masterpiece of simplicity.
