TP is a first person puzzle game, like the portal series, but with a much deeper story. The atmosphere is great. The feeling of isloation and being alone while trying to solve the puzzles and understand what is going on and figure out what happened to those that came before you. I won't go into to much detail, but you signed up for a puzzle game and while you do get that you also get a deep probe of the human mind. The athmosphere of the game is also excelent. While a bit restrictive, much like portal 1, it does a great job of both feeling mysterious and opressive. The sound design and voice acting are also excelent. As for the puzzles, they get the job done but do get repetative due to relying on just a few basic mechanics (Also like portal 1) but the game doesn't outstay its welcome despite that. As for the DLC... I wasn't a big fan of it, as the story was far less interesting to me and was just an excuse to crank the difficulty up. Its not bad or anything, just more tedious than worth the payoff if you aren't a master of the lasers. But Make no mistake The Talos Principal is a must have for anyone who likes solving puzzles or deep stories.
