![]() My favorite part in Talos Principle is when you first realize that there is an overarching puzzle to each level. ![]() ![]() It's about making you think out of the box and constantly making you realize that the box is bigger than you thought. It's never giving you the same pieces in a differently shaped room and asking you to solve it again. Every set of puzzles explores a new idea or twists what you thought you already knew, very few puzzle games are able to do this. You have to explore the world and experiment to deduce its rules. The Witness drops you in a puzzle world and tells you to solve it. It strikes at the heart of what makes games great: learning about the game and getting a better understanding of the world. While I feel like TP is a cool puzzle game, The Witness is simply one of the best games. I cannot believe that as of writing this, 5 out of 5 people prefer Talos Principle to The Witness. Maybe their connection became apparent later, but there was nothing to make me want to find out. I unlocked a couple of the story(?) segments before I quit and got bored watching, since it just seemed to be random videos with no connection to anything. Even though different puzzles had different mechanics, it felt like I was doing the same thing over and over to the point of tedium. The environments are interesting and some of the puzzles are satisfying to complete, but I got very bored doing nothing but fill in squares with dots and lines. I love this style of puzzle game as well as sci-fi and philosophy, so when I found this game it felt like it had been made specifically to appeal to me! It also has a fascinating story to uncover that kept me hooked throughout and made me think. It was also a beautifully realised world from both a visual and audio perspective, giving it a sense of grandeur and wonder. The puzzles were clever, sometimes frustrating, but usually built on previous mechanics and used the world and environment in very interesting ways.

It has a lot of puzzles.A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Despite that, i wasn't bored or frustrated. I remember there was one particular star that took me 3 or 4 hours to get. But because i enjoy traversing the environments so much, i don't have a problem spending hours to find them. The secrets and Stars are the hardest part, they are well hidden and you have to think completely out of the box to get them. It's harder than Portal/Portal 2 but not too hard (at least so far). The game feels like it has the right difficulty balance. And these environments fit perfectly with this style. This game throws away the silliness and goes for a more atmospheric style, with isolation and mystery, almost similar to Portal. Despite Serious Sam being a wacky action game, the environments always gave me a sense of awe. The Egyptian theme in Serious Sam games being their trademark. I always liked the way Croteam games look. But it's the art style that i mostly dig. The game looks really good despite it's age (it helps that i'm running it with ultra settings). I absolutely love the graphics/art style/atmosphere. I'm in the 3rd world so far, having cleared the first two entirely (including stars). ![]() It's the only one of the Portal "rip offs" that i really like. As you can tell from the title, i really love this game.
