Chants of Sennaar meets the highest standards due to its finely crafted, original and addictive language-learning gameplay, and also its beautifully honed graphics and sonics. It’s a distinctively French feast for the eyes, ears and brain.
It might feel bewildering at first, but deciphering glyphs to discover more about the vibrant and mysterious tower with its culturally divided people makes Chants of Sennaar a highly engaging and ultimately rewarding framing for the inventive language-based puzzles.

Best puzzle game i've ever played. It feels a bit like obra dinn and similar, but this one is actually good and doesn't make my eyes bleed. It really shows that devs put a ton of love and care into this game and it's worldbuilding.

There aren’t many experiences quite like Chants of Sennaar. It offers linguistic gameplay that is simple to understand but can be complex to truly solve. Its messages about communication and understanding are simple but completely universal in today’s world. From the aesthetics to the satisfying and engaging gameplay, it’s easy to get wonderfully lost in Chants of Sennaar.
Charts of Sennaar is an interesting puzzle game made with great care. The graphic and artistic sector is perfect for representing the symbolisms contained in the "biblical" plot that unfolds between the floors of the novel Tower of Babel which is the backdrop to the gameplay. In the gaming field, then, the cycle of research, translation of the mysterious languages spoken by the natives, and finally the resolution of the resulting puzzles, offers great satisfaction, even in the face of a little too much backtracking and a pinch of repetitiveness in the long term which concerns the structure of the puzzles.
Chants of Sennaar and the way it explores the relations between different groups of people is really engaging as a game. With language at its core, it highlights both the differences and the similarities between people and cultures. Chants of Sennaar is a puzzle game that deserves attention.
Chants of Sennaar is a good and immersive puzzle game with a lot of riddles to discover in a unique setting. The player is involved directly in myths and legends with the object to connect ancient populations through the words power.
The result is an interesting and impressive game that ultimately feels more than a bit academic, where solving intricate puzzles to uncover the hidden inner workings of a strange world mostly feels like an interactive and particularly creative linguistic anthropology lesson.
I love the idea of a puzzle game that creates its puzzles based on language and learning through action. I thought the story and the world were beautifully realized. I just don't think the large amount of forced stealth sections in the middle of the game really was the best choice. It killed the pacing for me and made me not want to continue playing.

This game is a confusing mess that explains nothing in detail and is so abstract it does not even qualify as art. By the time I had gotten to the second "puzzle" which was 6 levers that needed to be moved the journal still showed nothing except the three symbols from the first door and the ability to note what you think the symbols are. This needs direction added and even more guesswork removed before I would consider this an enjoyable, playable experience.
