The Talos Principle: Gold Edition
Description
As if awakening from a deep sleep, you find yourself in a strange, contradictory world of ancient ruins and advanced technology. Tasked by your creator with solving a series of increasingly complex puzzles, you must decide whether to have faith or to ask the difficult questions: Who are you? What is your purpose? And what are you going to do about it?
Features:
- Overcome more than 120 immersive puzzles in a stunning world.
- Divert drones, manipulate laser beams and even replicate time to prove your worth - or to find a way out.
- Explore a story about humanity, technology and civilization. Uncover clues, devise theories, and make up your own mind.
- Choose your own path through the game's non-linear world, solving puzzles your way.
- But remember: choices have consequences and somebody's always watching you.
Prototype DLC includes:
- Prototype Levels - Includes more than 100 puzzles from early prototype development stage and 1 exclusive level from early beta version, not present in the final game.
- Elohim Voice - US version - Elohim voice narrated by Serious Sam narrator Bill Jurney.
- Elohim Voice - Writer's prototype - Elohim voice narrated by The Talos Principle's writer Jonas Kyratzes.
The Talos Principle: Road to Gehenna follows the narrative of Uriel, Elohim's messenger, as he explores a strange, hidden part of the simulation on a mission of mercy and redemption in an attempt to free the souls of the damned at all costs.
This substantial expansion consists of four episodes that take experienced players through some of the most advanced and challenging puzzles yet. The Talos Principle writers Tom Jubert and Jonas Kyratzes have returned to pen the expansion and show players an entirely different side of Elohim's world through a journey to Gehenna filled with new characters and a new society with its own history and philosophy.
The new Serious DLC replaces the godlike voice of Elohim with completely NEW, rewritten and humorous Serious Sam script.
Serious Sam voice has been recorded by longtime Serious Sam voice actor John J. Dick.
It also includes a new Serious Sam player model for use in The Talos Principle.
The Talos Principle - Bonus Content includes:
• Documentary Video* - Making-Of The Talos Principle video featuring behind-the-scenes footage and exclusive developer interviews with Croteam members. This documentary takes a look at how the game was made.
• Digital Terminal Booklet** - The digital terminal booklet contains over 100 pages of text found in game terminals.
• Box Art** - Includes DVD label and DVD sleeve (front and back), so you can create your own retail The Talos Principle DVD box.
• Wallpapers - Eight exclusive hi-res (1920x1080) images as wallpapers.
• Posters, Stickers and Postcards - Three posters used at E3 2014 show, one sticker art for printing Talos related stickers on sticker paper and two postcards (two front and one back) used at Gamescom 2014 show.
• Banners - Two roll-up banners used at Pax Prime 2014 show.
* This item is only available in Croatian audio with English sub-titles

Critics reviews
IGN
8.3/10
Much like Portal, The Talos Principle makes you feel smart just by playing it, as the bulk of the puzzles hit that sweet spot between too easy and near-impossible.

An adept and satisfying puzzle game with a narrative that requires a bit of player investment to yield its biggest rewards.

Why hadn't I heard of this before?
Thanks to the reviews here on GOG I bought the game, and I was etremely satisfied and surprised. We have all heard of portal, but this so far (6 hours in) is better than portal. My thing with Portal was its monotony and that you often could make not-intended solutions. This seems to fix that. It is a great puzzle game, if you like puzzles (and portal), you will love this! A minor wish would be to be able to adjust individual sounds, or rather the sound effect when running in to walls is too loud compared to the rest, I know it's nitpicky, I'm autistic, leave me be!

Annoying to navigate
Very big with a lot of puzzles, however I spend more time moving between puzzles than breezing through them. Not that I think they're all easy, some of them I'd call medium. This knocks off a notch. Otherwise, really fun game!

Great Alternative to Portal
I liked the puzzles a lot, usually not too challenging or too easy, but time to time their difficulty changes, and that helps the pace of the game. I liked the story in the background, all that philosophical texts. I think they're very interesting as a reward for progress. But over time because of the lack of a sound main story, the game starts to become less interesting. You just start to say "this is what I'll be doing for next hours" and not get curious anymore. Overall it's a great puzzle game with texts that might make you question many things about life and humanity.
