Starts off super strong with fantastic art design and genuinely engaging language mechanics. I was thinking that this is what I wanted Heaven's Vault to be. For most of the game I was having a blast doing the language puzzles and I didn't even mind some of the gameplay deviations like the stealth segments. The game unfortunately falls apart at the leadup to the final area with an extremely tedious math puzzle as well as the final area where if you don’t want to get the completely nothing basic ending you have to do obscene amounts of backtracking through the massive levels with no map if you want to actually get the real ending. It’s just super deflating how hard the game just fell flat on its ass right at the end. I just came off of this game feeling disappointed and I think its utter praise its getting is kind of unwarranted. Really kind of reminds me of how I ended up feeling about Norco last year. Still I think it’s worth playing, just set your expectations accordingly.
