Our Chants of Sennaar review - a brilliant game about cracking languages.

...

Chants is a game about climbing the Tower of Babel and making sense of the various peoples you meet as you work your way higher. It's an adventure game, generally sort of isometric, with pointing and clicking and the solving of those nested puzzles. All quite traditional, written down like that. But I needed to remind myself that this is the actual genre from time to time, because the game often feels nothing like it. It feels like a revelation, actually, like games have worked out how to do something elegant, impossible, and empowering.
