✦ AI summary

Library Of Babel is a puzzle game based on the famous story, but players are deeply divided on its execution. While some appreciate how its massive, unsolvable design mirrors the source material's themes, most find the experience frustrating due to the sheer scale of content (410+ pages per book), lack of guidance or hints, poor visuals, and performance issues like slow UI functions. Players generally do not recommend it, feeling the concept is interesting but the actual gameplay is tedious and opaque.

I love me some puzzles but not sure how I am supposed to find phrases in a soo many books, no clues, and 410 pages to look through in each book...

Did you hear that sonic boom? It was this game, sailing WAAAAAAAAAAAAY over my head. As far as games go, that's usually not a plus for me. In all fairness, though, my inability to figure it out in any way does hold true to the concept of the source material. I *did* like that! But the rest of it... I really don't like. Visuals are crud. Performance is poor -- example: a 'highlight words' function (which might otherwise have the potential to be helpful) takes a looooong time, etc. Sorry. I'm just not enjoying it.
