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
** English version only

1/3 person stealth puzzle wise shooter

OK, so there is that self-aware robot, which hears voices and sees QR encoded messages everywhere. He roams through the ancient ruins in order to collect static Tetris pieces. On his quest he struggles with Gatling guns and levitating naval mines and he fights them with vaping cameras. How, on earth!, can you put this all together into engaging game with immersive story, non trivial message and excellent puzzles (ridiculous ones are clearly marked) ?! There is only one way to find out: buy and play. A piece of advice: don't pay much attention to screenshots, posters and clips. Actual game feels much better than it appears.

Great puzzle game

Personally I did not expect to have such an amazing experience in the game. The puzzles, the story, the writing - everything is done so well. The music is so beautiful, it makes the whole experience much much better. Some of the puzzle are quite challenging, the game really pushes you to think outside the box and from what I saw there are often multiple ways to solve the harder and more complex puzzles - you just got to take your time and think/explore/try different things. I am really glad we got the entire gold edition on GOG that includes the soundtrack and the DLC - Road to Gehenna. The DLC is just as good as the main game - it has a story on its own, new puzzles, new places, there is a lot more to read in it. It does not introduce new game puzzles mechanics but instead it forces you to use the old mechanics in new clever ways that at first may bring confusion! The game also brings multiple endings and many secrets to uncover. I love all the Easter Eggs the devs have put in the game - one may say a bit too many but some of them were really entertaining. I even recommend after finishing a zone or after you beat the game to check guides for any Easter Eggs you may have missed - some of them are really worth seeing!!! There are few negative things I can think of. There was this one puzzle earlier on in the game that cannot be solved normally with what you have withing the game. You think you know how to solve it but you don't. For people who don't want to use any guides or help this may be quite the challenge. I couldn't solve it either and I wasn't very happy about it. Also when you restart a puzzle it resets the entire zone, not just the puzzle you wanted to reset. And finally I really hope Croteam will bring the full Deluxe Edition of The Talos Principle 2 on GOG!

Incredible

This one is a milestone. If you play games, I recommend it highly. I also recommend not reading any reviews, beyond the official description of the game here (if it sounds interesting to you, you won't regret paying a dime for it). First-hand experience with it is the best way to go about this one I believe. I waited for the sale to end to pay the full price for this gem, if I was able to I'd invest in the developers to fund more of their games, especially if they're going through with the sequel.

micro-review

It takes a while to get to the difficult puzzles, but it eventually gets there. I think I quit playing while I was about halfway through, around the time the puzzles also required dexterity. Overall, it is a pleasant game that does give you a nice challenge while having some story elements peppered here and there. https://pixelloot.com
