Babies. They may be lovely bundles of joy at times, but as they grow and start toddling, they become more than a little bit stressful, requiring you to be kept on your toes at all times, running around with eyes in the back of your head. It’s those skills you’ll need in order to succeed in Baby Storm as it releases on Xbox, PlayStation and PC.
From the teams at Storm Trident and Forever Entertainment, Baby Storm is the latest to try its hand at the crazy cooperative scene, as you look to prove yourself as the best babysitter in the land. Also playable solo – although we’d suspect this one will be best served utilising multiple hands – it places you in the role of a kindergarten overseer, one who is trying to maintain some order in their life, attempting as best they can to keep the kids under them safe.
But babies, toddlers – and yeah, we’re saying it – kids in general can be a right pain and so during your time with Baby Storm you’ll need to tend to their needs, keeping them happy, clean, fed, watered. We’re not even sure you’re allowed to chuck them in a crib and let them scream the place down. Oh how parenting has changed.
Thankfully those behind Baby Storm have happily provided tools that will help you in your job. Maracas will soothe any crier, a remote vacuum will help tidy the mess, and toys will ensure that any kid verging on the edge of boredom will be entertained. Only by making the most of what is to hand will you ever gain the stardom of best babysitter in the universe.
