Even with high expectations going in The Talos Principle still blew me away. Through excellent puzzle design and a thought provoking narrative this easily stands among some of my favorites games this year.

The Talos Principle on PS4 lives up to the hype of its PC cousin. It's a genre masterpiece that anyone with the slightest interest in puzzles or philosophy should pick up as a matter of priority.

Amazing game. I’m late to the party but I decided to play this before I got to the sequel and I have no idea how this game escaped me for so long. Brilliant philosophical game that challenges your mind with not only its puzzles, but its narrative as well. Fantastic soundtrack to go along with it too! Don’t miss out if you haven’t played it yet. 9/10, but I’m giving it a 10/10to bump that Metacritic score up more, it deserves it!

Only by playing this game can you feel what I would like to describe about it, something like living in yourself in a video game, without knowing if it is you, learning to think thoughts for others already thought. Genius made art.

The Talos Principle: Deluxe Edition doesn't offer any new content to entice people who played the PC version, but I highly recommend it to everyone who hasn't.

There are a few performance issues here on console but that aside Talos Principal is an excellent puzzle based game that keeps players engaged and perplexed, a winning combination all around in my book.

The Talos Principle surprised me in almost every way, and it's one of the best puzzle games in recent years.

The trail is quite compelling; well-written enough to hook-drag most gamers to the end. The pay off? It’s definitely worth all the brain abuse. [December 2015, p79]

The Talos Principle is a fun puzzle game that also makes some strong philosophical points. The puzzles can sometimes be frustrating and the heavy amount of text to read in the files can bog down the pace, but it’s still a memorable adventure that players will undoubtedly want to discuss and dissect with their friends.

Wohl das einzige Spiel seiner Art, das mit Portal 2 mithalten kann und sogar mehr Umfang bietet. Es fängt zwar leicht an, hat aber sehr viele Levels und auch sehr herausfordernde. Zusätzlich gibt es auch noch out-of-the-box-thinking puzzles (Sterne), die auch sehr viel Spaß machen. Puno hvala an die Entwickler. Ich kann den 2. Teil kaum erwarten!

The Talos Principle is a very engaging game that respects the intelligence of the player. Pros: Great puzzles that build off of previous knowledge, Thought provoking narrative, Rewarding pay off for committed players, Quality of life options Cons: 100% Completion has some unfair challenges, some of the dialogue is reiterative, Early puzzles were too easy There are three worlds each with sub-areas containing puzzle rooms. Puzzles are good, a little too easy at first but ramp to difficult puzzles with many different interacting pieces. These were the most enthralling to me. Where all the rules were understood and smart solutions had to be found. This was not the case with the extra stars that are hidden in each sub-area, while some of the realizations to get these are amazing, more than a few felt unfair and not sign posted well enough. If puzzles were all that there was to this game I think it would be a solid game, but there is another aspect that this game does well, a narrative. I never would have expected the people who make Serious Sam to be good at writing a deeply person exploration of the player's feelings towards humanity. While the dialogue can range from thought provoking to esoteric, it all fits within the narrative, and holds significant weight. The topics covered are done well, for the most part, so that almost every person who plays this game can understand. I have some minor gripes with this game, but this is outweighed by what it does correctly. I think this is a great puzzle game for those who enjoy that experience, and I am anticipating the sequel that has been announced. More could have been done with the project and there is still so much potential.

The Talos Principle is a story driven first person puzzle game that tasks the player with completing a series of challenges in order to collect the puzzle pieces required to progress through the game. The puzzles themselves, obviously the most important element in this genre, are (with a couple of exceptions) more logical than many other similar titles I’ve played but by about the half-way point virtually all the new elements had been introduced and they started to become a little repetitive. Fortunately the central story, which I won’t spoil here, is interesting and told in a non-intrusive way that allows the player to delve as into it as much or as little as they want and this helped keep me playing to the end when I might have otherwise given up. The Talos principle is certainly no Portal beater but if you’re a fan of the puzzle genre this is well worth checking out.

Starts great but soul crushingly repetitive and goes on for too long with too little reward. I could only make it halfway through before I found I was forcing myself to go on. Deleted it shortly after that. Maybe put something more interesting in there in between the puzzles or something? Because it felt like never ending tedium. Actually, yeah that's exactly what it is. soul crushing, never-ending, repetitive as all hell tedium.
