Great puzzle game
It looks significantly better than the remake.
The Talos Principle is a game about solving puzzles, philosophy, artificial intelligence, and consciousness. Puzzles are clever and fun throughout with new mechanics introduced gradually and there are many opportunities to find and complete bonus puzzles some of which are very difficult and will make you scratch your head a bit! Some of the only complaints are that the last of the three main puzzle areas contains puzzles that are either very difficult, or are especially long and tedious which may leave you frustrated as I was since you don't really have the option of leaving to solve easier puzzles by this point. The other is the recorder mechanic which is cool at first but very quickly becomes convoluted; However, don't let that deter you as the game is fantastic and holds up very well in every other area regardless. I'm very glad I got round to playing this game and wished I had only done it sooner, I've finished the DLC (which is also great and also has more story regarding other characters you see in the main game, as well as some more tough puzzles), and now I'm looking forward to playing the second game which by the looks of it seems like its going to very enjoyable, also a third game in the works!! If you love all things puzzles then this game is a must play! 10/10
This is my favorite game. The puzzles are unique and the storytelling is amazing. 10/10 would recommend to humans and artificial intelligence alike
Masterpiece.

A great set up for the second game, which I consider to be one of my favorite games of all time. Big philosophy fan, and the puzzles are fun too. I would really suggest putting your full effort in to get everything you can out of this game, and its sequel.
