This is a really nice game, and if the premise intrigues you, a no brainer download. You’re wandering freely through a parallel dimension type world, piecing together a strange language through visual cues. For instance, you might see someone talking and be able to infer some words from their actions. Or you might find a pictorial monument with a caption in glyphs that you can interpret from the depicted scene. If this sounds fun to you, you’ll like this game. If not, for sure give it a pass. But for those so inclined, this is a full, well produced and involving game with a magnificently artistic visual style. It winds up being longer and deeper than it first appears, so if you enjoy it up front, it’s only going to get better. For me, the puzzles took just the right amount of figuring out, always logical and fair. There is also a decent and surprisingly poignant underlying story. It’s fun and rewarding to play, and the kind of game that will stick with you long after you finish. If parsing out a language from quality clues is your kind of game, Sennaar is terrific.

I love this game, it’s so fun, beautiful and challenging. It’s almost perfect but, I find that I constantly miss important things and have to watch play throughs to actually play the game right. This is because it, at times, can be very unclear which way you are supposed to go, leading to me missing important things. Like, in the very beginning of the warriors section I missed a key thing in the very beginning but was able to keep going. But, then I got stuck and found I missed an important part. I was quite frustrated at that because I had to go back to the very beginning of that section. I love this game, I only wish it was more clear where you are supposed to go next. Maybe this is just a me thing, I still love the game and it was totally worth the cost.

I had a great time with this game. I've always had a thing for languages, even making multiple of my own, and this whole experience is right up my alley. If you're in the same boat as I am, I couldn't recommend this game enough. The puzzles are designed with that perfect balance of difficulty and enjoyability, the languages' scripts look fantastic, and to everyone at the studio, I sincerely give my greatest thanks for making this. I will now be learning and leaving notes in all these languages to confuse my family.
