It is up to you to figure out what are the relevant visual clues to associate with rules, and the exact nature of the rules. There is a reasonable process of teaching you how to associate between these visual clues and what rule set to apply, but the game does not hold your hand at all.

There are visual clues near or on the puzzle that guide you to which rule set you should be thinking about for a given puzzle. However, what kind of 'rule' to apply on the hint to transform it into the answer can vary a lot. This is a very good game in my opinion, although not without some annoyances.Īt the core of it, it contains a lot of word puzzles in the form of a hint word and a space to fill in the answer word based on the hint. With all that said, it is a game that has some very interesting ideas in it that I have not seen before, and that makes it worth looking it in my estimation.

The game runs very poorly because the Godot engine is not very optimized for making large worlds like this one. There's also an annoying hedge maze in the game that you do at least have to walk through once. The non-euclidean 'antichamber style' world design is irritating and does not add much to this game, imo. In fact, I will provide a hint that will make those first couple hours much smoother (spoilered, but I don't think it's much of a spoiler and I highly suggest you read it) The color of puzzles, as well as their height relative to your eye level, both affect the way in which the mechanics work.

The first couple hours of the game are extremely rough and I would not be surprised if many players bounce off the game due to the level of intransparency about what the core mechanics even are. Lingo is a good game that has a lot of major caveats. I've played a lot less of this than many of the other reviews here, but I felt like I'd played enough to offer some useful thoughts on the game.
