Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly recommend this free, nostalgic horror-parody remaster for its tense chase gameplay and charm, though its difficulty and randomness frustrate many.

Many players enjoy the nostalgic 90s-style look, the memorable soundtrack and characters, and the tense cat-and-mouse chase in which every wrong answer brings Baldi closer. Players appreciate the extra modes and content compared with the original classic version, the smooth performance on modest hardware, and the fact that it is free. Some describe it as more clever than expected, rewarding planning and calm thinking. The main complaints are the high difficulty, the heavy randomness of the map and entity spawns that makes runs feel unfair, and the Party and Null modes, which some find frustrating. A few players wish Baldi moved more slowly and that the game received more updates. Several reviewers also mention that Baldi's Basics Plus is the fuller experience. Recent reviews are more mixed, with more short, joking remarks and a few critical comments.

Criticised

    Many players
  • Randomness and luck

    Players feel that random map layouts and entity spawns make runs unfair, especially for achievements.

    Some players
  • Party mode frustration

    Party mode draws particular anger for its random hazards and chaotic items that some say ruin runs.

    A few players
  • Few updates and fixes

    Players want Baldi slowed, faster transitions and more updates, and report a control bug with items.

    A few players
Who it suits
Suits players who enjoy tense, replayable chase games, retro humour and nostalgia, and who do not mind a steep learning curve.
Who should skip it
Players who want a forgiving, low-randomness experience or who dislike frustrating runs should skip it.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with the most hours mention the randomness, Party mode and endless runs as the main drawbacks, while newer players focus on the nostalgia and humour.
