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 22 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,513 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.

What does it mean to be human? Climbing that thing you were told not to, of course! Pretty fun puzzle game, relatively easy to solve, but man did they step it up for the DLC. Coming to save the last consciousness seemed fine. Then I realised. I was in hell.

I played The Talos Principle 2 first, and by the time I finished it, I was 1000% sure I had to play the original! I absolutely love the concept: you just solve puzzles, and that's it. That's exactly why I think the first game is better than the second. There aren't endless conversations interrupting the gameplay — you simply solve puzzles while gradually uncovering the truth about the world around you. The puzzles are challenging and incredibly satisfying to solve. Ofc, there are a few that honestly drove me crazy. But I'm glad those mechanics were mostly dropped in the sequel. Anyway, I def recommend this game to all puzzle lovers!
Jogo fantástico! Os puzzles não são super difíceis e a história é bem legal. O jogo traz um humor meio bobo e de tiozão que eu achei bem condizente com o estilo e curti bastante. O mais impressionante é que esse jogo é de 2014, e tem gráficos melhores que muitos jogos atuais que usam UE5.

Amazing puzzle game, good to exercise your brain and the story was really good to follow. For people like me who like to play a game non stop until the end, it started draining me a little bit after completing all puzzles in the first two worlds, I would have preferred if they shorten the amount of puzzles to complete main story and add more as extra content for those who want to keep playing more. But that's a very personal complaint, and regardless of that I totally recommend this game to be played.
Sin duda es la forma más original y hermosa de hacer un juego de puzles
