Therefore, before I proceed, let's liven up the review with some human beatbox: mmf-ch-ch-cha! Paaa-paa-pa-rump-pa-pa-pah-cha! It's very clever, and hard to describe in a review without making it sound like the most boring thing on earth. The puzzles may get harder, but once you understand the logic of the world, you’ll soon be thinking your way around it. The genius here lies in how it trains you to think how the game designers think. It’s a deceptively simple concept, that becomes increasingly challenging and complex. You can connect, say, two locks – otherwise obscured by a wall - by positioning prism lamps, or disable a machine gun by diverting an explosive robot sentry towards it through opening a forcefield, or blocking its path with a cube.

The mazes are full of machine guns, roving bot sentries, force fields and gates - all of these can be negotiated by positioning items (such as prisms, jammers and blocks). The Talos Principle eases you in like a buttered cranny.īy solving puzzles, you must explore maze-like areas, gathering Tetris-y blocks that will help unlock areas and items that will help you solve further puzzles. Please come back: don't you want to know what makes you a person? What's that? You already know, and it's about watching Come Dine With Me? What's it all about, Ralphy? It is about this: the very nature of existence itself. Talos is a first-person puzzle game - its closest living relative is Portal - which lets the player discover at their own pace, while presenting the puzzles in a compelling, and intriguing, universe. It doesn't alienate, yet it's infinitely smarter, and better realised, than both those supposedly blockbuster games. while not dumbing itself down a single iota. Moaning about things is fun and cool, and makes it look as if I know what I'm talking about.īut The Talos Principle - which, yes, has been out on Steam since last year, thanks for reminding me - is kind of the antithesis of my litany of complaints about Halo 5 and Assassin's Creed Syndicate. It feels like I've been moaning a lot in recent weeks about the current run of Triple-AAA games being unoriginal, or too unwelcoming to the uninitiated.Īnd that's ok.
