A thoughtful puzzle game with an interesting story. At a glance, the Talos Principle might seem a little basic. There aren't really any unique mechanics--you just pick things up and move them, and the method to solving the puzzles is relatively straightforward--get the correct beam to the correct receiver. But, even in that simplicity, something engaging comes out of it all. There's even a plot buried underneath, and a frighteningly familiar backstory! The puzzles are satisfying and many of the solutions surprising, and the meditative soundtrack makes for a soothing, cerebral experience if that's what you're looking for.
