Our take

This is the rare mobile puzzle port that doesn’t feel dumbed down. If you’ve ever wished a puzzle game trusted you to actually think, this is it, though it will absolutely frustrate anyone looking for a quick dopamine loop.

About Baba Is You

Baba Is You is an award-winning puzzle game where you can change the rules by which you play. In every level, the rules themselves are present as blocks you can interact with; by manipulating them, you can change how the level works and cause surprising, unexpected interactions! With some simple block-pushing you can turn yourself into a rock, turn patches of grass into dangerously hot obstacles, and even change the goal you need to reach to something entirely different.

What we like

  • Genuinely inventive rule-manipulation mechanic with no real equivalent elsewhere
  • Award-winning pedigree carried faithfully over from the original PC release
  • Every level rewards real lateral thinking rather than trial-and-error retries

Watch out for

  • Steep conceptual learning curve will lose players expecting a casual tap puzzle
  • Niche appeal keeps the install count modest relative to how good the game actually is
Verdict: One of the smartest puzzle games available on mobile, an easy must-play for anyone who likes puzzles with real teeth.
