The gameplay of [i]atomograd[/i] is engaging and enjoyable, though it doesn't emphasize linguistics as much as expected based on its description as a "linguistic puzzler." Players found the overall experience satisfying despite the mischaracterization of its core mechanics.
“The premise and gameplay are very engaging, and despite the mischaracterization, I had a good time playing this game.”
“Although Atomograd is described as a 'linguistic puzzler', linguistics doesn’t play as big a part in its gameplay as in Inkle’s Heaven's Vault.”
“The gameplay feels repetitive and lacks the depth needed to keep players engaged for long periods.”
“I found the controls to be unresponsive at times, which made the gameplay frustrating and less enjoyable.”
