Kinda split on this one. The combat while pretty interesting at first becomes a slog pretty quickly and the story and characters didn't really hit that hard either. Learning about the clichéd and tragic life of a meek politician didn't really interest me and by the time the only 3 bosses in the game were rehashed to become one large blockade to the final boss I was fully done with it. It also doesn't help that even the highest difficulty lacks real challenge.
That being said I do enjoy the unique style and flair the game brought and lining up big heat actions to wipe out full squads was pretty cool. I just can't bring myself to give it more than 3 stars since I did enjoy myself for a decent chunk until the monotony and lack of enemy variety hit me fully.

A game will always be special when it allows you to look at something from a fresh perspective. Chants of Sennaar made me take an in-depth look at how language is structured and conveyed and how context can be used to discern certain language patterns and phrases.
I certainly recommend this unique experience to anyone looking for another fresh take on the puzzle genre.
