Review

Baby Steps, the latest creation from the minds behind Ape Out and Getting Over It, is an intriguing blend of humor, frustration, and self-discovery. Players embody Nate, a down-on-his-luck character who explores a charming yet challenging world one step at a time. The game stands out with its punishing mechanics that truly test players' patience and resolve. Each misstep results in amplified consequences, making the experience both exasperating and exhilarating. However, while the unique gameplay and engaging narrative can enthrall, the overwhelming frustration may drive some players away. Baby Steps walks a fine line between humor and annoyance, and ensures that only those with a knack for perseverance will appreciate the journey.
