Linguist FPS - The Language Learning FPS

It would be great if it had Vietnamese support (though this review is based on playing the English-to-English version). I checked out the Australian English option and wasn't impressed with the voice acting or dialogue. I wouldn't recommend it based on the slang and wording it uses it doesn't feel particularly authentic (More of extreme bogan apporach, that words or sentences people are not using in regular day to day conversation). That said, the overall concept is cool. If you're looking for a game that gives you time to learn, this probably isn't the best one to start with. For example, when you're introduced to the keypad mechanic for opening doors, you're almost always attacked while trying to enter the code. Enemies seem to path directly to your location no matter what, and they're surprisingly quiet for robots. Overall, the game feels like it should still be in Early Access. The environments and user interface are rough around the edges and quite janky. There are visual descriptions scattered throughout the levels, but they feel random and inconsistent. I'd suggest adding some sort of tutorial for new players. As it stands, it feels like another game built from Unreal En…

Yeah, big no. There's no health meter. Enemies do not show up on the minimap, so what's even the point? And no controller support. This game came out in 2022, there are ZERO excuses for 3 basic things to not be in the game. I played what... 10 minutes before I quit? I got this on sale for a couple bucks... and I want that back. So, refunding.

This game has lots of potential and would benefit from a major update with more activities and a much wider range of vocabulary. The current version is good for learning language basics such as colours, numbers, directions etc however gives good attention to listening to commands which a lot of other language learning games can overlook.

What a great idea. Playing video games in your target language has long been a language hack, but that tactic can be hit or miss. You're not going to get fluent playing this game—it really only covers some colors, basic directions, walk/duck/jump, go up/go down, numbers 0 – 9, and a few other really basic things—but your comprehension will be really fast on those things. Listening to your guide swear and be disappointed is a little funny. I just wish they had higher-level language.

Not bad, a good idea but needs more vocabulary

Linguist FPS - The Language Learning FPS takes an unconventional approach to educational gaming by combining vocabulary practice with the urgency of a first-person shooter. Developed and published by Rocket Boy Games, it transforms language recognition into an active part of survival rather than presenting lessons through conventional quizzes and exercises. Players explore a hostile environment filled with robots while interpreting words and instructions in the language they have chosen to study. It is an unusual combination, but the concept works surprisingly well because learning is connected directly to meaningful gameplay consequences. The central gameplay loop revolves around fighting enemies, exploring the city, locating supplies, and understanding language-based instructions to obtain useful equipment. Weapons, armor, health items, and other resources can depend on correctly interpreting what the game communicates. This creates a practical incentive to recognize vocabulary quickly. Instead of memorizing words simply to improve a score on a test, players learn because comprehension can determine whether they enter the next encounter properly equipped. Repeated exposure also …
