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 · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 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.

Wow! Having completed the original Talos Principle and the Road to Gehenna I feel that I know a bit about this series. First off I was shocked at how excellent the quality of the graphics and the story were. The story took a bit of time for me to warm up to, but it was about as thoughtful as even the most thoughtful sci fi stories I've seen. Quite philosophical and thought provoking with a real decision at the end. As for the graphics, I've never taken so many screenshots! What a graphically beautiful game! The artists involved in this should be building real life monuments. As for the puzzles, they were great as well. In particular I liked the last puzzle where your changes in one world affect the other world. I'm to the point where I need more challenging puzzles so having to jump between worlds was a welcome addition. Didn't need to look online even once to finish this game. I'll call that a success 😁 They kept to the Talos puzzle principles and didn't try to stump the player with buggy or unfair tactics.

Genialna gra!
An amazing game. The sequel is one of the best games ever made, and you should really play this first.
головоломка игра интерестная, ломает мозг от этого ты думаешь и появляется интерес к игре много людей ее не понимают если поиграть понять, то понравится всем советую
Even though it's an older title, I really enjoyed this game. Complex but satisfying puzzles that don't get truly infuriating until late in the game (with few bumps along thea way, to keep you humble). IMPORTANT: I learned this the hard way... The final level is buggy. Save yourself a LOT of suffering and searching & simply cap the game's FPS to 60 for that last level. It makes little sense, but otherwise, inexplicably, key things won't happen, and you'll be stuck. Frustrating that this has remained unpatched. Overall a lot of fun, though. Will def try the sequel.
