    I love puzzle games, Zelda, Rime, Brothers, Lara Croft Go,, but this game just wasn't fun to play. After a couple of puzzles it already felt repetetive. I normally get the kids to help with puzzles but they were pretty uninterested and after a bit, I just thought I'm not intersted either. How could I expect them to hold interest when I'd lost interest. I got it in the sale and it wasI love puzzle games, Zelda, Rime, Brothers, Lara Croft Go,, but this game just wasn't fun to play.

How could I expect them to hold interest when I'd lost interest. I got it in the sale and it was a complete waste of money. It was £6, I have bought games for 89p that have been much better. My Brother Rabbit albeit mostly hidden object, still has puzzles and it was way more enjoyably and was about £1.30.

    This is one of those games that just gets raved about for nothing.    … Expand

    The experience is definitely different than most and is worth exploration. [Issue #45 – March/April 2020, p. 25]

    Although I can’t fully pinpoint exactly one thing that made The Talos Principle great, there was something about the game that just felt incredible while playing. It provides such an amazing puzzle-solving experience that’s backed by an overall strong story that I can’t recommend this game enough.

    What it mostly comes down to is whether or not you need this game on-the-go. The Talos Principle is great and absolutely worth it for puzzle fans, but the Switch port doesn't present it in the best light. If you can set aside performance issues, however, this is a wonderful game to play portably.
