The gameplay has seen the removal of studies and vocabulary lessons from previous installments, which may affect new players; enabling translation in the settings is recommended for a better learning experience in Esperanto.
“In terms of gameplay, they removed studies and vocabulary lessons from the previous game for learning Esperanto. If this is the first game you are playing from the series, like myself, it is recommended to enable translation in the settings.”
