What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
A Guidebook of Babel is praised by players for its charming art style, engaging story, quirky characters, and whimsical world-building that feels imaginative yet atmospheric. Common complaints include translation issues that make dialogue occasionally choppy and a notable slur that slipped through quality control, though most find the dialogue understandable enough to enjoy. Players generally recommend the game for those who enjoy story-driven experiences, with some noting the puzzle mechanics and emotional narrative make it worth experiencing despite minor technical issues.
A very charming game that I enjoyed a lot despite it's issues! For starters, the negatives: -The translation, which either gives the impression of being by a less experienced ESL or by machine, does cause some of the dialogue to be choppy. I thought it was enjoyable and understandable enough, but it might cause issues for some. -The TL did, however, clearly not get checked over by a native English speaker, as a slur got through in Braith 6 in reference to the CSS vehicles. Would LOVE to see that one get retranslated. -The choice of Native American as the design of the CSS is... confusing? I do not understand why it is the case. The positives: -The artstyle is incredibly charming. Everyone looks lovely, as does the world. -The puzzles are fun and it's very rewarding to check off every chapter as you go. This also goes for the collectibles. -The characters and their relationships are great and their interactions are lovely, be it the friendly ones or the unfriendly ones. -The setting is charming, and I enjoy the worldbuilding. Overall, if you can grapple with some rough translations and the aforementioned issue, I would definitely recommend the game!4 found this helpful
This game is very sweet, cutesy graphics, quite funny dialogue, quirky characters. The music is charming. I enjoyed my time playing this game and would quite happily revisit the game. You can tell the developers had a lot of fun and could be creative with things.1 found this helpful
This game is awesom ! The story is great, the visuals to, I like the characters. My only complaint is that I can't figure out the butterflys effect. I really really tried but every time rewriting the story was needed, I just couldn't think about doing that. I find this mecanic interesting and I believe that other people won't find it as confusing as me. Big recommendation, play this game !
The story is really beautiful, even though it made me very sad. The world is very charming and cute, as if it sprang from a child's imagination, yet it's also eerie, complex, and menacing. The game isn't as easy as it seems and, in my opinion, has some challenging parts, but it's definitely worth the experience.
Cute and very story driven, slightly puzzle solving game. Lots of interesting characters and stories. I am just just not apt to finishing this type of game, but for those who would enjoy a game like this, it has a chance to be peak.
I don't have anything of note to say about this. It's well drawn and the gimmick is interesting.
