神作级别的解密游戏
Не поддавайся искушению
If you like puzzles, you will be served a bunch. The story is also pretty interesting. However, it can get repetitive very fast. Not a lot of different mechanics introduced from what I've seen from my ressearches, and you are pretty much stuck in ruins for the majority of the game, so you don't get to appreciate much of the nice graphics. I don't know, give me something more to look at while solving puzzles, please... Also, you know how in the description it talks about rerouting drones, jamming turrets and turning back time? I hope you really like these, the game use these mechanics very well, but you better like these a lot if you want to force it through. I also see it compared to Portal... At least, in Portal, I can enjoy the humoristic interactions with Glados and Wheatley, but Talos feels a lot more... Calm? So yeah, I think I prefer watching a walkthrough of this one and then playing Talos Principle 2, someday. Not saying it's a bad game, I can recognize it as a masterpiece of sort. But that masterpiece is not for me.
They've remastered this game, but I don't think that's worth it. I'd consider the visuals timeless. Get this game, it's on sale right now.
I'm not smart enough for this ♥♥♥♥
Amazing game with amazing puzzles. I'm only sad I've tried it only so many years after release.
great testing games
На удивление топовая головоломка, возможно лучшая в жанре
ewa ja ik play die gimma zo, wlh me k snap er iets van maar daarna toevalig ik zie iets.
장점 1. 퍼즐이 아주 많고 다양함 2. 철학적이며 사고적인 게임 3. 그래픽이 좋음 4. 더빙 잘되어 있음 단점 1. 멀미 요소 심한 편임 2. 분위기가 아주 졸림 3. 퍼즐 막히면 힌트나 답이 없음 4. 텍스트가 많아서 스킵을 하게되니 철학적 스토리의 이해가 쉽지 않음 5. 번역이 많이 아쉬움 포탈같은 게임을 좋아해서 구매했고 플레이 해보니 포탈과 비슷한 면이 많습니다. 비슷하다는게 퍼즐 요소에서 말한건데, 세계관이나 스토리가 중점인 포탈과 다르게 탈로스는 굉장히 철학적이고 조금은 난해한 요소들이 있어요. 그러다보니 BGM이나 여러가지 부분들이 굉장히 졸리고 고요합니다. AI로봇과 인간을 구분짓는 요소는 어떤걸까, 자아와 인지기능이 있으면 생명인가 아닌가 하는 굉장히 철학적인 스토리가 계속해서 나오는데 텍스트의 양이 많고 길고, 오타 또한 많아서 스킵을 자꾸 하게 되니, 온전히 철학을 이해하기가 쉽진 않았어요. 멀미요소도 조금 심한것 같고 전체적으로는 포탈만큼 좋지는 않았던것 같아요. 막히는 구간에서도 힌트가 없으니 엔딩까지 볼수 있을지도 장담할수 없습니다. 그러나 퍼즐적인 아이디어면에서는 훌륭하기 때문에 추천을 줄 수 밖에 없는것 같다는 생각이 드네요.
