One of the weirdest games you’ll have the chance to play in 2025 releases on September 8.Baby Stepslooks like it could be equal parts strange and entertaining, and after watching the recent reveal trailer and ten full minutes of the main character falling, my curiosity is getting the better of me.

Control Both Legs Individually & Traverse An Open Landscape
Baby Stepsis set to release on September 8 for PC and PlayStation 5, and it has one of the weirdest and most interesting premises ofany game this year (so far). You play as Nate, an unemployed “failson” who has spent his entire life in his parents' basement, but ismysteriously teleported to an odd and mysterious outdoor landscape, unable to walk. He has to learn one step at a time, literally.
You’ll control Nate one leg at a time using physics-based game mechanics to traverse the map.Baby Stepsisa walking simulatorthat mightredefine what the genre is capable of,and it looks like it’s going to present a considerable challenge to players.
The game includes some very humorous mechanics, and watching Nate fall over and over again in the above gameplay video never gets old. The noises Nate makes andthe way his body contorts and bouncesare simply hilarious, and the inherent comedy will definitely be one of the main talking points of the game when it launches next month.

It’s No Death Stranding, But You’ll Get Plenty Of Steps In
Baby Stepsisn’t just weird because of the oddball physics and Nate’s bouncing around, but also because of the ominous and eerie setting. you’re able to see in the above trailer some of the strange features of the map, and it almost feels like some kind of fever dream whereyou’re barely in control of the main character.
Ultimately, whetherBaby Stepsends up being any good as a walking simulation game is yet to be determined, and players will need to get their hands on it for themselves on September 8 to know for sure. One thing is certain:Baby Stepsis gearing up to be one of the weirdest games to release in 2025.
