Just went to the Steam page and it says that it will unlock in approximately 15 hours. No clue if the Switch version will unlock earlier, the same time, or later.

Baba Is You | OT Is Open
- Thread starter More_Badass
- Start date
If you like puzzle-y games with crazy solutions and big picture revelations, you have to play La-Mulana 1 and 2.
And as others have said, Stephen's Sausage Roll is a must play too.
They are more like kinda-metroidvanias but with a lot of puzzles.
Not at all, they're a fixed adventure! IMagine a metroidvania but with a lot of focus on obscure puzzles! They're freaking huge and everything in it is important, you need to pay atention to everything! It's one of my favourite game of all time and my favourite metroidvania, you should definitely try it! Although i'm not sure i would recommend it to someone who only like games like the witness and so on
here's one of the area in the game, there's 18 of them and they're all connected in various ways :
You is purchased? Who purchased you? Did they purchase me, because me is also a You? Gah, I'm having an existential crisis!

I didn't know that. I thought it was randomly generated like Spelunky. Doesn't help the tileset/art is weak.
switch games usually don't release at midnight, it will release during the day, i read it was 4 PM in the UK
Been looking forward to this for a long time. I was wondering if there would be an OT.
Baba seems to be developing quite the fan art following:

Looks like it'll be on mobile eventually? This is the only mention of a mobile port I've come across, but it sounds like it's planned eventually. (Searching for info on a mobile port is complicated by the fact that an illegal clone of Baba Is You was briefly released on iOS last year.)
@AppUnwrapper: Ahhhhh I'm so tempted but I don't even have a good setup for recording on my PC. How long will the wait be for iOS?
@babaisyou_: Unfortunately we don't really know at this point; it might take a while because there's a whole bunch of stuff to handle after the release on the existing versions (i.e. translations and so on)

Another very positive review (In French)

Nintendo really need to sort themselves out with eshop release dates.
Stop listing stuff as "playable from....." if it's not gonna be. Put a timer on or an "this game will unlock at ..... local time". Anything is better than the current set up where you don't know when things can be bought, downloaded or preloaded.
It has to suck for the devs too as I'm sure it's them that'll get most of the grief and it's out of their control.

Thanks for linking our website ! Appreciate it.
Can't wait to play it, seems awesome.

Arvi Teikari is also one of the co-devs working on Noita, and that's shaping up to be one of the best roguelike platformers since Spelunky. So he might have two indie darlings out this year
Will grab this later today <3 Looks like something that should definitely be supported and seems fun to play with your friends around as well.
Excited! Wasn't aware it finally had a release date. The dev's other games are fantastic and this just looks just as good.
I agree that a countdown on the eShop would be great. But actually, one of the current recommendations on the NoE eShop (FF) is listed as "playable at midnight".
AFAIK, it's the developer that sets the release time. If they don't actively set it, the game will default launch at the normal eShop refresh.

I've been wondering if you can move the "Is" to make something like "Baba Is Is" or "Is Is Win"
A friendly reminder that its creator, Arvi Teikari is donating a 10% of his personal income to GivingWhatWeCan.org, so every purchase of the game will serve to help people in need.
Something that is expressed in the initial introductory screen:
(It will be great if More_Badass add this to the OT of the game)
Didn't realise it was one person game and finnish developer until this post. Awesome, another finnish game that is fantastic.
Another review with highest score https://nindienexus.net/baba-is-you-switch-review/
No big outlets yet
No big outlets yet
This dev is really promising, i'm keeping tabs on this one too
https://www.cgmagonline.com/reviews/baba-is-you-switch-review/
Isn't this a big outlet ?
This is what I was expecting : a lot of praise, no complains, but still just a 8/10 because it's an indie game with simplistic graphics.
Not sure about that, last month we had Ape Out up for pre-order and when it didn't unlock at midnight people flocked to Gabe Cuzzillo's twitter to find out why and he said it was out of their hands.

Why are you assuming that? Nothing in that review suggests that
Holy heck that looks so fun. Immediately reminds me of Scorched Earth. Anything that reminds me of Scorched Earth goes to wishlist :D
Well yeah it's just my feeling when reading this kind of "praise everything but 8/10" review.
I get the feeling the game was rated on a 8 points scale.
It might just be me though.
I think there's not just the graphics part. Games with no story are hardly perfectly rated too.
However I think the game deserves higher for how innovative it is.
OP
OP
No games deserve any score; that's not really the purpose of reviews.
And games without narrative focus like puzzlers, platformers, multiplayer games, etc often get high praise
Well that's not what I wanted to say with "deserve".
Anyway I don't care that much about scores, and 8/10 is still very good.
Less than 2 hours left.
Greatest title song of all time. There is an Angel City Chorale performance with Christopher Tin conducting on Youtube. I've been playing that song SO MANY times.
There are people with good taste and then there are few exceptional individuals with immaculate taste.
Don't put any stock into review scores. I once rated an excellent indie game 10/10 but the score was bumped down by my editor because he personally thought it "didn't look like a 10". You never know what arbitrary BS goes on behind the scenes, you're better off reading the text and drawing your own conclusion.

Part of why I don't include scores when I list reviews in OTs
Not solely because of that, but also to let the blurbs/quotes speak for themselves
