I get the distinct feeling thatBaba Is Youwill be good as hell. It’s a game in which you solve puzzles by pushing words around the screen to form simple phrases that wildly change the rules of the world.

Talk about a fascinating game mechanic presented in a playful, intuitive way. It’s a winning formula.
