CHEATER IS ME
It's so hard, it made me feel so stupid, so many times. I always had my suspicions I was dumb, thank you for proving it to me for good finally.
So, I finished the game but ONLY because after a third of the game I started looking up stuff on the "Baba is Hint" site (they are great, because you get nudges and vague hints, no solutions). But then near the end I needed full on video-walkthroughs. Even just following those step by step turned out to be tricky at times!!
The thing is, it is probably the best puzzle game of all times, BUT the "game" part of it (enjoyability and playful learning curve) remains a moving target here or is just non-existent in some levels. Maybe it's just because I feel so embarrassed but the rules and verb-dependencies often felt off, confusing and retro-designed, so cracking them asked endless trial and error and sometimes just dumb luck. Some puzzles I solved without really knowing how I did it. Some levels were so impossible and specific, that I became scared of those mighty intelligent brainiac-geniuses who actually managed to play through this game. They are close to some Prof Xavier or singularity or some sht.
Bye Baba, you humbled and broke me.
