"While Influent has a great concept behind it, the execution is hurt by clunky controls. The modes that try to encourage to learn by playing games are hampered, and you can’t really track your own progress by your own standards. What’s worse is that while this is a great aid for learning everyday words, it doesn’t actually teach you the language. It’s basically a glorified vocabulary list instead of a language teaching game. It doesn’t teach grammar or usage, nor does it really delve into adjectives or verbs. The few that it does give you must be unlocked, which is a bizarre concept in a game designed to teach you. While the effort is noticeable and it deserves bonus points for having a storyline, you would be better off just checking the Internet for a vocabulary list or two before spending cash on Influent." - Alex Cabral of Geekenstein
