Is The Witch's Bakery good?

On October 18, 2026 Steam said Very Positive, 96 percent of 126 reviews. PlayStation showed 4.89 out of 5 from 61 ratings. OpenCritic had four critic pieces. Metacritic still said the Metascore appears after four critic reviews, so there is no Metascore to quote.

I am not adding a score of my own. I read the English review sample Steam returned — 97 positive and 4 negative out of 101 — and the pattern is consistent. People stay for the hand-drawn Paris, the music, and the characters. They bounce off a missing dialogue log, a run button you must hold, a slow middle, and puzzles that feel sharper than the word cozy. LadiesGamers withheld a top mark because of a bakery bug. That is the argument, dated, not a vibe.

Reddit is not a chorus yet. A launch-trailer post on r/Games was around 50 points with a handful of comments. Do not read the search volume for "reddit" as a huge thread.

What do people dislike?

No dialogue history, no auto-advance, holding a button to run, a few tough puzzles, and a slow middle. Those complaints are in the Steam review sample, not in the studio FAQ.
