The Talos Principle is a philosophical first-person puzzle game from Croteam, the creators of the Serious Sam series, and written by Tom Jubert (FTL, The Swapper) and Jonas Kyratzes (Infinite Ocean). Players are tasked with solving a series of increasingly difficult and complex puzzles woven into a metaphysical parable about intelligence and meaning in an inevitably doomed world. This definitive version contains the original puzzler in all of its glory and the ambitious expansion The Talos Principle: Road to Gehenna.

Talos principle is a great 3d puzzle game, based on manipulation of few simple objects like blocks and coloured beams. There is an overarching plot with kind of religious hints here and there as well as AI future and few other plotlines that you basically have to piece together from text messages and communicating via computer. The puzzles are really good, like it's been years since I've found game challenging but not unfair like this, very few puzzles have any running or platforming components, they are generally solvable by just figuring it out. Closest game I can think of is maybe portal 2. Music is ok in the background, not very memorable but appropriate. The switch port specifically suffers from lot of slowdowns which is a bit annoying since the graphics aren't really that amazing or anything.
Interesting puzzle game with a cool story, the puzzles themselves were not always fun, but they were most times. I didn't need a walkthrough for the puzzles, I did need one to collect all the stars
An incredibly fun puzzle game that makes you think in more ways than one! I found myself having a great time throughout this entire game, even during incredibly difficult trials. The story of the game was also incredibly interesting as well! Highly recommend!
One of the best games I've ever played, a perfect minimalist puzzle game with a gripping world and absorbing atmosphere.
