"In baby steps, there are achievable set of path that are more or less safe and easy and we are constantly tempting off that and inviting you to try something more difficult and something that seems optional and hard, but that you don't have to do " - Bennett Foddy This is a pretty good description of what the game is, a big open world, with a lots of extra challenge around the sides, but nothing forcing you to try these challenges at all beside yourself. Kick all the can, no reward, collect all the fruit, nothing (beside the fruit cutscene). But even worst, there is nothing to even tell you how many fruit/can there are total so you might have missed some and you will never know. There isn't even an achievement to finish the game, or get the "secret" ending. Most of the achievement are for the fire tower quest, and speedrun ish related. For me, i enjoyed the exploration of the map and everything, but was often disappointed by the lacks of reward being given, which to be fair, perfectly fit the first quote that i mentioned which i why you should be aware of that. The control were mostly fine but a bit glitchy at some obstacle with hole like the giant ladder, the camera was also pretty bad when near a wall, but otherwise everything else was fine. If you only go for the main story, it might take you 5-10 hours depending on your skill, if you want to explore everything else despite not getting reward, expect at least 50 hours, and you probably won't even know if you got everything.

I don't know how to start this. I'll keep this sort of thing short and simple. Baby Steps is a game by resident hard-game maker Bennett Foddy, as well as Maxi Boch and Gabe Cuzzillo. It is a game where you play as a 30-something "hikikomori" / shut-in named Nate / Nathan after he gets transported to an abberation of Australia, a bunch of mountains and various modern day appliances / life things like pizza boxes, bottles of something and lots of other things. The gameplay itself is simple; left foot, right foot. Walk forward. Pirouette on the spot because Nate's calves are very strong and he has the footgrippage of someone who probably has callouses on their callouses. It's quite serene when you're not falling. The music of the game itself is... strange, experimental and kind of... what's that word again? Diegetic, that's right. I would love to see more people talk about it, maybe a soundtrack released to go alongside with it. I didn't manage to find Hornet anywhere, so that sucks. But on a more serious note? This game made me re-evaluate how I've lived my life. I've been taking steps as of recently to go outside more often, work out more often to try and lose my weight and really try to open up to people, real life people, about things. It's all because of the hidden story that this game tells with Nate. Nate himself is a sad, sometimes comedic character that is all too reminsicent of people like myself. Granted, I've already gone to a lot of therapy, probably way more than Nate ever went to. And I find myself empathizing with him, knowing that although all of the situations that he finds himself in are comedic, he ends up coming off more often as someone who's severely... abused. Some people might not see it the way I see it but his life is one of... abject suffering, disappointment and suffering. His father is a cruel bastard who ended up crippling his self-esteem and his developemental capabilities in many ways, his mother is someone who tried her best to support him in the face of his abusive father and his sister is someone who wasn't held to such a high standard like he was, supposedly. The supporting characters, Jim, Mike, Moose, Ethan, what have you, they could all be described pretty easily. Jim and Ethan are probably the "main" antagonists? Mike is more of a supporting character and Moose could be considered the secondary protagonist of the story. They all fit their roles pretty well, despite all of the dialogue in this game allegedly being improvised. I say allegedly because no amount of improvisation could load this game up with as much symbolism and genuinely "depressing-if-you-think-about-it" stuff. This game feels like the digital version of a sad clown. On the surface, a kind of schittpost-y game about a living failure, no Bloodborne, that gets most of its comedy from the dialogue and the many ways that Nate can fold, fall and give himself CTE but underneath is a genuinely philosophical, depressing story about parental abuse, peer pressure, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, self-harm and moving on. I recommend Baby Steps because of this. ... though, if i were you, i would download the quicksave mod. why? because some of the stuff you climb is genuinely, like... why. looking at you, manbreaker. In the end? Nate Jr. And The Baby Stepping is a masterful distillation of what it feels like to take control of your life. Please play Baby Steps. Hooroo.

I got emotional playing this, and it wasn't just the expected emotions of joy and rage. There are some surprisingly REAL moments in the story that'll stick with me for a while. Gameplaywise, it plays great and is also more forgiving than Getting Over It. The hardest challenges are optional and I did not opt for them, finished the story in just under 10h. One of this year's best games!

If Kojima would be brave enough, this is what Death Stranding gameplay would be like.
