Chants of Sennaar

Really good puzzle game. You will probably know if you are into this sort of puzzle just by watching the trailer, since the style of the puzzles are shown off well. Also, the game keeps things challenging by ramping up the complexity of the language as you progress through. Very much enjoyed my time with it.

I highly recommend this game. It's challenging, which is what makes it SO exciting. The style, colors, and design are simply amazing. Thanks to the developers for the hours I've spent playing this game ♥

全成就达成，这是一款围绕游戏独有的语言来进行解谜推进剧情的一款文字解谜游戏，玩下来整体对于第一次接触到这种语言主题游戏的我来说还是很惊艳的。 游戏的主要玩法是通过点击鼠标来控制主人公移动，根据游戏内看到的人和事还有景观对出现的语言文字进行翻译，用翻译出来的意思来推进剧情，游戏内置记事本，可以先把自己推测的文字意思写上去。游戏内设计有五种大同小异的语言，分别对应五个章节的五个部族，虽然后面语言文字的设计对比前面略有敷衍，但是整体来看还是很不错的。 剧情也是这游戏的一大亮点，主人公通过解谜翻译各个部族的语言，将这些断绝联系许久的部族们重新连接起来，并且逐步挖出巴别塔内部隐藏的事实。我个人还是很喜欢这个故事和最后的结局的。 游戏的画风我个人感觉挺不错的，鲜明的颜色对比，在游玩的过程中感觉很舒适。 音乐这一块个人感觉还是很不错的，各种音效的设计也很用心。 下面说说个人游玩过程中一些比较劝退的点 首先是游戏的地图引导太弱了，很多时候不知道往哪走，也没有地图之类的功能，导致一些比较复杂的地形容易迷路。 其次是游戏最核心的文字翻译解谜，有一些文字除了排除法以外没有想其他文字一样有个确定意思的因素，就考纯纯的排除之后的猜想。这算是游戏的设计不足吧。 整体游玩下来还是很推荐这款文字解谜游戏的，推荐给喜欢解谜游戏的玩家以及想要接触语言类游戏的玩家。

Chants of Sennaar is one of the coolest puzzle games I've played in a long time. At first, the game felt like it was moving a bit slow. It actually deterred me from playing because I was getting bored and uninterested. But I kept hearing good things about the game, so I decided to give it another chance. After spending a decent amount of time in the first area, I eventually got pulled in enough to beat the game in one sitting. So if anyone can't get too invested at first, maybe it's worth another try for you too. Each area has its own unique vibe to it and the art-style portrays everything so flawlessly. Everything looks so clean and the environments are all beautifully crafted. The way they contrast is great, too. The way these civilizations have their own culture and beliefs creates the perfect foundation for the gameplay. Deciphering an entire language from scratch sounds daunting, but the game does a good job at simplifying things so that it doesn't feel like an impossible task. You can take notes on what a word might be and it'll auto-fill that word in the future. This gives you lots of freedom and room for error. Even if you just have a small hunch for a potential translation, you can try it out anyways and it might end up being the right concept. I really like this mechanic because you can deduce a lot from context clues, and even if the word you guess isn't the exact idea, seeing it alongside other words might be just enough for the lightbulb to come on. The progression is pretty straight-forward too; learning enough of the language will allow you to understand what you need to do in an area in order to progress. This is really cool because you actually don't even need to fully complete a language if you don't want to. You can get by if you learn just enough to understand what your objective is. Also, you pretty much never have to worry about being too far off-track. The game gives you a menu with pictures, and you can connect the pictures with the symbols of the language you're deciphering. If you get 3 of these connections right, it'll lock them in as being correct translations. So the game does a great job at letting you know that you're on the right track without outright letting you brute-force by guessing, which is still possible in some cases but not to an extent that ruins the gameplay. This game is definitely worth a shot if you like puzzle games in general, but it's even a nice game to experience if you just want to explore a well-crafted and visually beautiful world. Also, huge kudos to the translation team!

A very good game, that's a tad short of being great. The language deciphering and puzzle solving parts of this game are fun, and can be some real brain teasers. I'm not personally a fan of the stealth mechanics, but the game is very generous with its checkpoints, so it doesn't become a major point of frustration. Similarly, the maps are surprisingly big and a tad confusing at times, but there are a few fast travel points, so some of the backtracking pains are alleviated. The language deciphering becomes very simplified towards the end of the game, which is a shame - but I can also imagine the game doesn't want to "overstay its welcome", so to speak. All in all though, despite everything I've said, I'd still give this game a nice 8/10. I'd defintely recommend it to anyone, whose interest might've been piqued by hearing "language deciphering game mechanics" :)

好游戏 我等之所爱！

Una gran sorpresa. Estamos ante un juego de puzzle point & click en el que nos situamos en una especie de torre de babel y para avanzar tenemos que ir aprendiendo el idioma correspondiente. Por fin las clases de sintaxis servirán para algo. Me ha parecido una aproximación original y adictiva. Sumado a su estilo artístico que atrapa desde su presentación, es una opción ideal para echar 2-3 tardes. Además, el juego tiene un mensaje potente en el que la comunicación es el eje central del mensaje.
