10 Most Anticipated Video Games Still To Come In 2025
5. Baby Steps
Baby Steps is a physics-based walking simulator where players take control of Nate, a schlub who learns to put one foot in front of the other as he's transported to a strange land and tasked with summiting a mountain in the distance.
The game's challenge comes from having to precisely control each of Nate's steps throughout his journey, turning even basic traversal into a puzzle where failure is typically a slapstick-style pratfall.
Despite its thoroughly tongue-in-cheek tone, this is a genuinely gorgeous-looking game that seems to boast all the wit you'd expect from co-developer Bennett Foddy, responsible for eccentric cult classics such as QWOP and Getting Over It.
Plus, where else can you play a game that has its own bespoke, fully dynamic onesie soilage system?
For anyone still craving airy open world exploration in the wake of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Baby Steps looks like a suitably bizarre rejoinder.
What it lacks in AAA bombast it more than compensates for with its sheer, unrelenting absurdity.
Baby Steps releases on September 8.
