I Am Bread Review - Failure and Frustration
Frustrating controls and an annoying central gameplay loop stop I Am Bread from achieving the same heights as Surgeon Simulator did.

More game than you might expect, but still best played for an audience.
58%I Am Bread Review
I Am Bread is a quirky title that can be a lot of bun at times, and it will certainly fill a hole before a much more substantial meal comes along. However, the title's control, camera, and performance issues do put a dampener on things, so unless you absolutely love silly experiences of this ilk, we'd recommend keeping your dough in your wallet and putting it towards something a little less stale.
