can you beat this when your IQ is only 119?
>>719399625I beat it and I'm fucking retarded. So probably, yeah.
Sure, but eventually you'll just start getting annoyed when the game starts expecting you to know about collision glitches and stuff and just get bored
This game is literally impossible.
>>719399665I think anyone can beat it. It doesn't require you to think up anything particularly complex.
>>719399665pretty much this. the game ends up being annoying and tedious

I think it's beatable for most people over 100 IQ if they're willing to put the time into it. Patience is rewarded by this game. The thing is, a lot of people don't have that patience for puzzle games. It gets some undeserved flak because the way outlets always talk about this game to promote it actually fails to understand its design at a fundamental level. They always say "you can make yourself the walls, or make the flag you, etc" like it's a sandbox platformer or something. But from the ground up it was always designed to be pretty precise problems and solutions. I do think Baba Is You is among the best games ever made, you might be able to call it a perfect game. I've been trying to start a bit of The New Adventures lately, but Flag Is 3D keeps crashing my steam deck.
>>719399972I beat Outer Wilds without the ship log because I was too dumb to ever find it, where do I go on your dumb chart?
After getting all the achievements, I broke down and looked up how to make Meta - Booby Trap into FLAG + TEXT so I could play the cursor level Whoa. The frustrating thing is that it turns out it's not even an absurd ridiculous sequence you need to do to make this happen, it's actually relatively elegant.
>>719399625im a retarded stoner and i could do this, a little bit in the final area was collaborative thinking with friends but still very doable, however the layered thinking in the very endgame can leave you mentally fatigued
>>719400303welcome to mensa, king
>Game has you use its own mechanics to check out its development archiveAbsolute 100% pure 24 karat SOVL
>>719400534you may be a stoner but I can tell being able to use the phrase "mentally fatigued" already puts you way above the average person in terms of faculties
>>719400534>a little bit in the final area was collaborative thinking with friendsNice try. You didn't beat the game.
>>719400996i dunno its just basic english but thanks>>719401235that's fair anon, i mostly streamed it to them cause they were interested in the concept of the game but didn't really want to play it

Is there a commonly agreed-upon hardest level in the game?Not counting filters in the first world like the one where push Wall Is Stop over an entity and make it You to walk forward and break the sentence
I needed roughly 10 hints or so across everything, mostly for when I first ran into mechanics I didn't think would be possible (overlapping text, x is shift and shift moving something twice per turn), and getting started with that one endgame area where you had to turn levels into different things to even progress.
>>719401863Booby Trap for introducing the entire concept of layered puzzles in Meta
>>719401863I think>Level Near Flag Is Winblows a lot of people's minds. The Return of Scenic Pond seems like the dev-intended hardest level since it's the final numbering of Meta.
Should I play this game? I watched a speedrun at one of the events where they just broke the game apart completely. Looks fun.
>>719399972Blue prince status?
>>719402227Blue Prince is weird because there's a bell curve. After a certain point, progression indicates a lower IQ because a higher IQ realizes it is a waste of time and they stop playing.
>>719400286There's "patience" and then there's "try literally every possible combination of moves until you accidentally stumble upon the solution which involves a weird quirk of physics that the game never told you about"
>>719402278Good because that's exactly what I did after doing the sigils and 8 realms in 8 months. Things were getting too obtuse for too little payoff. In retrospect I wish I could get back the time I wasted getting the vault key for the last sigil room.
>>719402278this makes sense. I ran through 4-5 rooms and uninstalled. 140iq
>>719402153It's a really fun puzzle game but after the main worlds it starts running into this issue >>719402412 way too often.
>>719402153>speedrun of thisspeedruns of puzzle games are pointless and retarded

>>719401863Ultimate Mazes' 'level is text' solution is by far the hardest 'useful' thing you can do in the game, but its not mandatoryOtherwise i think maybe just A Way Out?

The New Adventures really deserves to be more obvious official extra content. As it is, it's stashed away in the "play levels" menu I think and is treated like a pre installed fan pack. It's obvious a ton of effort was put into it.
this is the only level i recall that actually outright filtered me and i had to search up
>>719403597Yeah this is a level you can just spend hours staring at. Doesn't help that every time I solve it the solutions gets totally deleted from my brain afterwards so I'm staring at it like a deer in headlights again now.
>>719399665I'm only remember one level reliant on the collision "glitch" and I'm pretty sure it's an optional one
>>719399625Yeah, assuming you have the patience.
By collision "glitch" are people referring to overlapping pieces of text by having them be SHIFTed to the same tile on the same turn?It's perhaps the hardest logical jump in the game, but on the other hand you gotta wonder what else could happen if you did that, so it seems worth it to experiment it if you're not sure.
My biggest issue with the game is that after taking a long break from it, you forget all the "invisible" rules you were supposed to remember and all the previous strategies you've used that the next levels build off of. Only solution would be to replay it, but redoing puzzles isn't that fun even if you forgot the solution.
>>719399662>>719399732I couldn't beat it
I remember beating the game on my own but looking back on it I can't help but feel I'm either remembering wrong or somehow fooled myself because I can't see myself having solved these
>>719401863For me Crushers was the only level I looked up the solution, but Return of Scenic Pond is usually the top choice
>>719399625>tfw got a free steam key code of choice from a list>I picked super shit boy instead of baba is you
>>719405213Anon, video games are free.
>>719405213Super meat boy is great though
>>719399625The space world filtered me :(
>>719405332desu that world is way too difficult compared to how early you reach it
>Look up Return of Scenic Pond solution>The top documented way still uses Float instead of my solution of using the Float's water tile to make a Keke, getting BABAKEKE text, and putting both a Baba and Keke on the wall tile so one can push the FLAG word down and the other to the right
>>719404481I dunno. The thing i'm enjoying the most about baba is that it's consistent. Shit like how stop doesn't allow things to move into them, but not the inverse, or how words overlapping make more statements. It feels logical once you think about it.
>>719405578Nothing in my post disagreed or mentioned that?
>>719399625>babby's first puzzle game
>>719404481Yeah I just started the game again after not touching it for a year, and seeing the level I was at just makes me tired instantly like all the accumulation of stress I had playing flooding back to me with the added problem of having forgotten some of the rules.
>>719403390The absolute most kinoest of levels
>>719406158nigga what? This is literally one of, if not the most hardest puzzle games out there. How is it babby?
>>719403146not bad for a macacobro
>>719399662same
>>719406102My point is that I have no clue how you forget the interactions when they are always logical. There are no "invisible" rules, it just makes sense as long as you're willing to think it through.
>>719399625I beat it and my iq has been measured professionally between 75 and 80.

>>719410897Trying to teach him to read a book without destroying it, but they're currently too boring for him to mind. He's more interested in leg pressing and climbing everything in the house.
>>719399625Yeah, it's possible and if shit gets too difficult you can always look up hints via that baba is hint site. It doesn't outright tell you the answer but just nudges you towards it. Haven't looked up an actual solution to any level yet beyond hints, but I've probably used that hint site around 10 times. I'm still going through it actually, 32~ hours in and only reached world 8. The only one I skipped was Out of Sea in World 7 because I heard it was the hardest level in the game and is better tackled at the end when you understand the game more. It's been a very fun experience even if it sometimes takes hours and reminds me why I like puzzle games a lot. Glad I saw /v/ talk about it years back and made me interested in it since outside of this site I've never really heard it talked about. Currently on Entropy and it's annoying me because I've nearly figured it out but can't figure out the last step of having a Rock and Baba exist at the same time so it'll probably take hours of trial and error before I get it.>>719402412Pretty much, probably around 20-30 levels I figured out through exhausting every combination and getting lucky with the current one which solved the level. >>719406410This one took me hours so I don't blame you, I basically tried a solution that was literally the opposite of what you're meant to do for this. My mind just completely blanked out that there are four wall tiles I can use and when I finally decided that maybe they're useful I instantly got it.

I had to search up the solution to Further Fields and I felt so disappointed in myself that I never did it again.Further Fields could have been figured out if I just kept at it but I was having a bad brain day those couple of days.The idea that you had to kill yourself TEMPORARILY would just not occur to me. Kino level. Wish I solved it organically.
I can't wait to Johnathan Blow's ultra sokoban game to come out. I'm as excited for it as I am Silksong

Baba Is You is my favorite game of all time, who finally usurped Majora's Mask from the position which now sits at #2
>>719418865I didn't look up the solution to harder levels including ones that frustrated me harder and for longer so I did. I beat the game. I called myself a faggot enough for FF so you doing it as well is not needed.I beat the game

>>719399972110 it is, thanks for letting me know.
>>719405436... What?
>>719399972Lorelei and the laser eyes? The golden idol games?
Absolute kino. Some of these are figure out how to even play.
*are hard to figure outwhoops
>>719399625no, this is the best and hardest game ever made, just like shinobi 3
>>719421876As someone who's played most on those list, I think Lorelei is a 100 IQ game, maybe 110 being generous. The reason is the design is deceptive. VERY frequently, the answer to a seemingly inscrutable puzzle is "hidden" very plainly in a text you can pick up later. In other words, you outright cannot solve the puzzle when you first find it, because the solution doesn't require clever lateral thinking, it just requires new information. As long as you follow the guideline of>if you can't solve it confidently right now, walk away and come back later when something makes you think of itthen it shouldn't be too tough. >>719421490With FLOAT: https://youtu.be/nlavJ2iSEZYWithout FLOAT: https://youtu.be/CnAKCH_8Z0YI'm honestly not sure what the true intended solution is, but based on view count it's more common to solve using FLOAT instead of abandoning it.
>>719399662you're probably smarter than you give yourself credit.
Baba is Bump
>>719402545The puzzles were completed so fast that I had literally no idea what was going on and only very surface level explanation of what the goal of each level was. It's not like it spoiled the game nerd.
>>719423383Considering how many interactions without float needs, i would think the way Hempuli envisioned was the one with float, even if the other one is ABAP.
Yes
>>719423383honestly pretty impressive solution, crazy work anon
>Autism threadClose enough, i just solved this and felt my brain expand in real time
>>719399625My kid is showing a 180+ IQ at 3.5 years old. Thinking about getting this for them soon.
I was able to do quite a lot of the "main game" such that the final areas I could do 2-3 puzzles in an hour or something.But I looked up the solutions to i think a way out and the entire meta / late game maps because I don't give a fuck, i don't care, i paid money for the game, I can cheat if i want to.
