I tried playing Nintendo Switch's object-oriented puzzle `` Baba Is You '' which solves the mystery by remodeling the `` words '' of the rules
Unlike a general puzzle game that rearranges blocks and plays, a strange puzzle game `` Baba Is You '' called `` rearrange the rules of the puzzle itself '' is a Nintendo Switch on December 16, 2019 (Monday) ) Has appeared. By rearranging the blocks of text, the player himself made a rule and took on a puzzle game with various rules.

The title screen looks like this. Select 'Game Start'.
Up to three save data can be created, and auto save is supported.
At first from the tutorial stage. `` BABA '' a quadruped white creature is also the game title
There are four default rules for the tutorial stage: 'BABA IS YOU', 'FLAG IS WIN', 'WALL IS STOP', and 'ROCK IS PUSH'. 'BABA IS YOU' means 'BABA is a player', and 'FLAG IS WIN' means 'clear the stage if you take FLAG'.
'WALL IS STOP' means 'WALL is an obstacle' and 'ROCK IS PUSH' means 'moves when ROCK is pressed'.
If you do not change the rules in particular, the stage will be cleared if BABA 'YOU' overlaps FLAG 'WIN' ...
A big feature of Baba Is You is that players need to modify the rules themselves with puzzles to advance the game by pressing and rearranging the text.
There are three main types of text that can be used as rules. Text indicating an object, such as 'BABA', 'ROCK', 'FLAG', text that has an instruction or connection role such as 'IS', 'AND', 'HAS', or state or operation such as 'YOU', 'FRAG', or 'STOP' The text to represent. We will arrange these three types well and remodel the rules.
The text will not be recognized as a rule unless it is arranged 'top to bottom' or 'left to right'. It is a valid rule that the text color is lighter on the stage.
For example, if you sort 'FLAG IS WIN' and 'ROCK IS PUSH' and create a text 'ROCK IS WIN' ...
The rule is 'Clear the stage if you take the ROCK', so if the rock object overlaps the BABA, the stage will be cleared.
If you rearrange 'BABA IS YOU' and 'WALL IS STOP' to 'WALL IS YOU' ...
The rule is 'WALL is a player' instead of BABA, so if the player operates the wall object and overlaps the wall with the FLAG, the stage is cleared.
By rearranging 'BABA IS YOU' and 'FLAG IS WIN' and creating the rules 'BABA IS YOU' and 'BABA IS WIN', there are two rules, 'BABA is a player' and 'Stage clear if you take BABA'. The stage will be cleared unconditionally.
The following movie looks like you are actually tinkering with the rules at the tutorial stage.
FLAG doesn't have to be the goal because you can sort the rules. Some stages are not FLAG, and there are stages where you need to make a rule called 'XX IS WIN' and clear it. For example, the following stage is a stage where there is a rule called 'WATER IS SINK' that disappears when objects are stacked on WATAR (blue part). 'WATER IS SINK' is on the other side of the wall, and 'WALL IS STOP' is also surrounded by walls, so players cannot change the rules of 'WATER IS SINK'.
FLAG is on the other side of WATER.
'WATER IS SINK' cannot be changed, but 'ROCK IS PUSH' and 'FLAG IS WIN' can be changed. If you move the two rules and change the rule to 'ROCK IS WIN', the rock object will be the goal.
The trick is to try all kinds of rules by combining texts by trial and error. It is often surprising that unexpected rules are born depending on the combination. In the following movie, I play with the rule of `` WATER IS SINK '', but when I combine the text with `` BOX HAS BOX '', a rule like an infinite loop of `` When a BOX disappears, a BOX is born '' will be born Was.
Basically, you can only press the text, so there are many times that 'the game has stopped accidentally following the wall!', But with the X button 'Return to the previous operation', with the ZL button 'Retry' It was designed so that you can play without stress because you can start over with the touch of a button.
A system where a new stage is opened each time the stage is cleared. There are more than 100 different stages so it's quite responsive.
Clear one stage and you'll get something like fluff.
When you get a certain amount of fluff, 'Map clear!' Is displayed ...
Get something like a big flower.
Large flowers play a key role on the map. There is a locked stage on the map and you can only enter it by collecting some large flowers.
Solving a lot of puzzles, getting a big flower, and unlocking it means that a more difficult stage awaits.
There is no time limit or score, and retry can be done with the push of a button, so you can play without frustrating puzzles. Baba Is You does not provide detailed explanations of the rules text, so if you find a new text on a new stage, it will be a exciting game that says, 'What kind of rules will be added with this text?' did.
'Baba Is You' is a Nintendo Switch and can be downloaded and purchased for 1500 yen including tax. Also, the PC version can be purchased on Steam etc. for 1520 yen including tax.
