Another game in the "Lethal Company-like" genre. Haven't played enough of this game to give it a solid rating yet but if you play it with a group of people who know how to be funny you will have the time of your life. I like that you're encouraged to face monsters head on for the views and the feature where you get to see the clips you recorded at the end of it all is very funny. Maybe if I paid for it I would have more negative things to say about it... since it follows Lethal Company's formula very closely it feels like a game that might get repetitive pretty quick (and it's pretty buggy but what new modern game isn't really + it's made by a small team and got 6 million downloads in a day... I'm sure their servers are on fire right now. Give them a break!), but for now it's a lotta fun!

So, I'm unfortunately a self proclaimed Avoider of the Puzzle Video Game Genre. I've tried to play a couple... The Witness, Myst, Baba is You... gave up on every single one of them. But when I saw Chants of Senaar featured in a random "must play indie games" list, I was so intrigued by the premise of exploring an unknown world, learning about the people, and deciphering their language that I put all my hesitation aside and decided to give it a shot. And I'm so glad that I did!

This game is gorgeous. Every screen is frame-worthy and very memorable. Translating the languages is challenging enough to get the gears in your brain turning but not so difficult to the point that it hurts. Love that you can take notes in-game. The puzzles are good! Felt like a genius everytime I figured something out. When I did have to look up something, it was usually because I walked past a key item or room rather than the puzzles themselves.

Some things could be improved on or completely removed though... The backtracking is fine, but holy hell the amount you have to do just to get the true ending felt like a drag. If it wasn't for that and the god awful stealth segments (seriously, what is with the stealth segments? I'm glad other people in the reviews agree it's the worst part of the game), this game would easily be 5 stars. The game has it's flaws, but I still loved it a lot. Definitely want to try out more puzzle games now!

Replayed. Still remains my favorite game in the PS1 trilogy. RE2 may be the objectively better one but I just have a soft spot for Jill and also think Nemesis is a lot cooler. I swear to god if they don’t bring Jill back again in a future game I’m stealing something out of Capcom’s house.

Also, don’t tell Nintendo but if you happen to have a modded N3DS this game is extremely fun to play on one. Needs a tiny bit of tinkering but it runs really well and playing an RE game on a handheld is ridiculously fun.
