However, maybe I'm just not clever enough for this game but it is one hundred percent worth checking out if you love a good challenge and enjoy working out puzzles."
The way that Chants of Sennaar layers puzzle-solving into language discovery is satisfying and intriguing, and makes for a mostly enjoyable experience.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "Chants of Sennaar isn't the first game to explore its world through language, but it's perhaps the most ensorcelling. By harmonizing the dual nature of its puzzles, learning to read the instruction manual and then following it, Rundisc's deceptively enticing core constantly finds new ways of encouraging you to learn about Sennaar's stratified societies. Through its inventive template melding gameplay and world-building, its inspired twist on a biblical tale still captures the Old Testament's mythos and grandeur. Along with a fantastic art style, genuine intrigue, and more, it ultimately translates into a towering achievement."
The latest EDGE review scores include Starfield, Mortal Kombat 1, Cocoon, Lies of P, and more.
Starfield – 6…..ouch!
Cocoon – 9…..great score.
Sea of Stars – 7…..expected higher.
Yeah. Between Cocoon and Chants of Sennaar, puzzle fans are eating good right now.
Yeah. Hell, that edition's review line-up is stacked with potentially meaty dissections.
Wondering how long it will take Starfield to become the 'must play' game. Would love to have them deliver on the hype by December.
I'm starting to see a pattern with these edge review scores
Starfield – 6
Crackdown 3 – 5
Gears 5 – 6
Redfall - 6
I don't think they've got an agenda regarding console preference, seems to me that they're generally harsh and don't reward mediocrity.
Disagree. They tend to give Pokemon games relatively high scores given their supposed "harshness". Same with giving a lot of great SE games relatively low scores despite a lot of SE games going above and beyond.
No, you are seeing a pattern from Xbox exclusives.....next up: Call Of Duty and everything else Microsoft buys and runs through the mud.
Halo: Infinite - 8
Take it from me: it's best not to drum up "muh bias" claims on this just b/c they didn't like a few titles. We already see that shit enough when Sony fans cry about them daring to score a PS exclusive below the MetaScore. And it's not like a 6 is a dreadful score by them. Hell, I think the most flagrantly bad take is the generous 6 for Redfall. Even the text was acting exceedingly nice towards it.
Mediocre games get mediocre scores. Not a big fan of edge but those scores aren’t bad especially for Redfall which can easily be scored
