Lingo 2

Okay, this game isn't going to be for everybody, but it _was_ for me. This is an alien's crossword puzzle escape room: the kind of game that will make you happy if you like having to figure the rules out for yourself. It is very heavily reliant on your understanding of English words in different contexts, and you will want to keep good notes. This is a game that will appear, for the first five or ten minutes, to be a very amateurish indie game, but it quickly becomes apparent how skillfully the puzzle and game design elements are intertwined. If you're not the type that reads spoilers and hints, _good_. This game will be for you. If you're the type that reads the guides beginning to end, you would probably find this tedious. Games like Lingo 2 are a different experience when you have to figure everything out from scratch, and while it has a hint system you could consult, I suspect the appeal of the game would be significantly different if you used it frequently. The types of puzzle in this game cannot be unsolved, not really, because while you could start the game over, you can't un-hear the answer to a riddle. You are intended to discover it gradually, with a series of Eurekas, and to put seemingly-disconnected things together as you go along. This was a very deeply satisfying game to me for the same reason it may not appeal to everybody, and thankfully, the developer isn't trying to appeal to everybody. But if you're the right kind of space alien, this might hit you very squarely, as it did for me. And if so, maybe you'll also enjoy digging out every mystery and hidden corner as much as I did - it was absolutely delightful, beginning to end to end to end.

An amazingly unique, fun game. Highly recommended for anyone who loves puzzles, word games, and the like.

Dude, its a worth game to buy, buy this $@#/. its so (bad [sun)

Reviewing after getting all achievements even though there is still some postgame content I haven't finished. Get this game if you are interested at all in wordplay puzzles. There is 50+ hours of content for $10, few puzzle games will give you that much value. A worthy sequel, not as rough around the edges as Lingo 1. The letter collection and puzzle rules blend into an interesting split of metroidvania and metroidbrainia, where you are keeping various areas in your head to come back to once you learn more of the mechanics or unlock a new letter. Puzzle themes are well telegraphed, navigation is more natural, answers feel less arbitrary, and the graphics are slightly improved. As with Lingo 1, the experience is really defined by the high points. There are times when I feel frustrated or lost, or feel that certain puzzles basically need a hint to solve. But there are multiple sections of Lingo 1+2 that contain some of the best puzzles I have ever played in a video game. Sometimes I get more dopamine from admiring the construction of a puzzle than I do from actually solving it. I'll happily trudge through some fiddly bits to get to the gold underneath.

lingoli 2 is too much of an advanced chess battle game for me to collect and eat so yea play it
