Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Es muy bueno el juego si es que te gusta los puzzles y me gusta los paisajes que tiene y se sigue viendo bien graficamente en mi opinion
Super Story
Played this through fully after never actually beating it a decade ago. A very satisfying puzzle game, some of the puzzles had me really thinking for quite a while. The narrative didn't really hit for me, but nevertheless worth it for the gameplay (just make sure to use fast forwarding since some puzzles require waiting).

The Talos Principle is one of the best puzzle games because its puzzles are smart, clean, and incredibly satisfying to crack. The tools are easy to understand at first, but the game keeps finding new ways to combine them until you’re solving problems that feel genuinely clever without feeling cheap or random. The ancient ruins, strange machines, quiet landscapes, and philosophical terminals give the whole game a lonely, mysterious feeling that sticks with you. It asks big questions about consciousness, free will, faith, and what makes someone “real,” but it never feels tacked on. The puzzles and the story work together, making the game feel thoughtful, memorable, and way deeper than a simple brainteaser as it gradually reveals its depths to you. Like eating a dessert that gets sweeter with every bite.
Сначала был скептически настроен, думал надоест за 2 часа. В итоге прошёл игру на все концовки и выбил почти все ачивки. Загадки разгадывать интересно. иногда приходилось слегка подумать, особенно на последних уровнях С. Все уровни прошёл без гайдов, а для поиска вех звёздочек пришлось искать руководства. Бесили уровни с минами. Любопытный лор, много секретиков и пасхалок. Методичная игра для тех, кто хочет немного напрячь извилины.
Similar to Portal 2 in some ways, very easy to spend time playing. Great if you just like stress-free puzzles, and solo-gaming.
They never learn, sad.
Un peu de mal les premières minutes. Trop étrange de trouver des robots explosifs dans un paysage de Greece Antique. Puis aprés, on veut en savoir plus et on se prend au jeu.
