I'm finally playing this one and absolutely loving it.

¿But did it really needed stealth sections?

I theoretically like the core language puzzle idea of this, but not feeling the other objectives that they use to deliver that stuff or the visual aesthetic.

On the one hand, I appreciate intellectually how learning the last language is extremely, extremely easy, because it reflects the real life situation of, "knowing more than one language makes it easier to learn more" principle. My problem though is the execution on that idea, because it makes it easy in a facile, baby-toy fashion, instead of being easy because you are applying the principles that you learned from the other languages

I have bravely stepped away from Baldur's Gate for a moment to catch up on some smaller titles I've missed in the meantime. This one is awesome so far.

Hopefully I give myself some time to play this game. I haven't been making any time to sit down and do anything other than work on my house for the past several months. It's exhausting.

Someone described this game to me like "Obra Dinn meets Heaven's Vault" and now I need it like air to breathe.
