Digital ChumpsNathaniel StevensMar 20268/10DAMON and Baby from developer Arc System Works contains a bevy of fun gameplay elements across different genres that work more than they don’t. The action can get a bit frustrating at times, but big multi-tiered maps, interesting weapons, and a cooking system help to push past that frustration. It’s a good game that has a lot to offer players.

Video ChumsA.J. MaciejewskiMar 20264/5 starsIt has a highly unconventional premise yet everything in DAMON and BABY works so well together and it's super-charming to boot. 👶

MinimapSydne SewaldJul 20264/5 starsDamon and Baby is a great game if you are looking for a boss rush with a side of story and exploration. The movement feels good, and the art style summons the feelings of old-school 3D platformers. A good pick-up for those who love boss fights that offer a challenge.

TheSixthAxisJason ColesApr 20265/10Damon and Baby is a game which is just sort of fine. It can be fun to play, but it just feels a bit repetitive most of the time, and neither the combat nor the story are engaging enough to really keep you locked in. I don't think it's a bad game, per say, but I do think it can be a bit dull, and that's just as bad a lot of the time.

Gamer Social ClubDaire BehanMar 20265/10While I admire what Daisuke Ishiwatari and his team set out to achieve with DAMON and BABY, the resulting work is weighed down heavily by poorly designed levels and unsatisfying combat. There are fleeting moments of charm to be found within its story and cute art style, but they are just as quickly diminished by a myriad of mechanics that fail to cohesively coalesce.
