    The game is alright but there is no need to be giving it 10/10. To be honest I found the game got quite boring after a while of playing. Different people have different opinions though -_-

    There does not seem to be any real storyline and the puzzles are repetitive. I lost interest after a few hours. If they had more story (like the Portal games) I would have given a higher rating. Also: I would have preferred story with some animation and sound, rather than reading everything.

    Starts great but soul crushingly repetitive and goes on for too long with too little reward. I could only make it halfway through before I found I was forcing myself to go on. Deleted it shortly after that. Maybe put something more interesting in there in between the puzzles or something? Because it felt like never ending tedium. Actually, yeah that's exactly what it is. soul crushing,Starts great but soul crushingly repetitive and goes on for too long with too little reward.

    The Talos Principle is one of those rare masterpieces of indie writing that play with your mind and your beliefs to such extent that you are no longer the same after you finish it.

    If you're in the market for a fulfilling, well-paced puzzler on the PS4, look no further than this one.

    The Talos Principle has made an effective jump from PC to PlayStation 4, thanks to the addition of expansion levels and a presentation that really makes use of the hardware at hand. While it's not quite a perfect transition, it remains a very applicable one, as the level design and snowballing level design continue to keep their momentum. Even if you're not entirely a fan of first-person games, Talos is worth a look, if only for the story alone.
