The Talos Principle’s story is all told through the logs and interactions you have in the world. The game reminds me a lot of The Swapper in both layout and minimalist storytelling which is not by coincidence as the writer for it worked with Croteam. Some of them are hidden in plain sight, while others may require you to use the objects in the puzzle areas in a different manner. The various items require you to figure out their use and then exploit that in creative ways.īeyond the relics, each area has stars hidden that require a different thought process to get to. As with any puzzle game, the complexity and skill needed to solve them grows as you continue onward, but there are always multiple puzzles open that you can attempt if you get stuck on one. The relics are used as keys to unlock new areas and items that will be used for future puzzles. The puzzles are based around a single solution to them with the object is to use what’s available to reach the Tetromino piece or relic placed at the end of the puzzle. Each room it essentially an island where the player can find logs from a mysterious person and a computer with a helper to interact with and more importantly the puzzles. What follows is a minimalist puzzle adventure as you explore Elohim’s world separated into three temples built around different rooms. The world is full of puzzles which Elohim tasks you to explore and solve to your heart’s content with the only warning being not to explore a giant tower. The voice tells you that it’s Elohim, the Hebrew noun for God or Gods and welcomes you to its world. The Talos Principle begins with you as some sort of cyborg waking up in the middle of a garden with a giant voice speaking to you. For a studio known for making balls to the wall shooters, The Talos Principle is as far out of left field as you can get with a thought and spiritually provoking puzzle game that if I would have played it sooner, would have easily made my top ten of 2014 list. They are most famously known as the developers behind the Serious Sam series and the Serious Engine used to run it. Croteam has certainty come a long way since opening their doors in 1993.
