[Beauty play, me plural like]

Chants of Sennaar is such an interesting take on a game about linguistic. You need to decipher 5 different languages, and even get the chance to cross translate them in attempt to reconnect the people of different cultures. Having interest with languages, I knew I had to play this game upon trying out the demo.

Requiring logic, observation, and deduction skills (maybe calligraphic skill for some, I didn't analyze the symbols that much), you can try to figure out what the languages meant. Gradually increasing difficulty - the first language was a nice introduction to the concept. This game even set a different grammar for all the languages to make things more complicated. The grammatical differences makes the cross-translation really fun and satisfying to do when you get the right answer.

Not gonna lie, as someone who loves puzzle game; this game teased my brain in a different (but in a good) way.

Now for the cons: I am not too fond of the stealth part of the game. Without a map, for someone who is pretty bad at remembering paths I wasted quite a lot of time trying to backtrack into a room. Especially with 5 different 'worlds', there's just a lot of pathing you need to remember if you would like to 100% the achievements.

Go and play this game; but beware - this game will exhaust you out but you will keep coming back to it because it is hella addicting. Recommended 10/10.
