The Talos Principle: a sleeper gem?

[PrincessFrosty]

Bumping an oldish thread to say that the expansion pack for this game (Road To Gehenna) was released recently, you need the original game to play it, but it's only £10. I think they built this expansion with the understanding that you'd played and completed the original because the puzzles start off quite tricky which is good for fans of the original.

The original writers are back to give another spin on the interesting terminal system that's used for storytelling, they've also kept the idea of secret stars as well as other east egg puzzles, so there's plenty to do. I'm about 2-3 hours into it so far and it's obvious already that this was a good purchase decision.

Bumping this because I finally bought it during the sale to celebrate the expansion and played it for a few hours today. Very fun and, if the quality continues, I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys puzzles.

Quick update, I completed the basic puzzles and finish the add-on, there's some really good and challenging puzzles in there, but I've not done any of the star/secrets yet, honestly they look absolutely solid-as-f**k, which will give this a lot more life. It looks like you also get a different ending if you manage to 100% the stars before you finish the game, similar to the original.

Great add-on, fantastic game.

Good stuff, but like Portal I am getting my ass kicked early on.
Depressing.

If you find yourself stuck on a puzzle just leave it and move onto another one, it's hard to adequately state how much it helps coming back to puzzles with fresh eyes, some puzzles I was stuck on for about 20 minutes and didn't get anywhere, then came back and did them near instantly 24 hours later.

Good news - don't know how they come up with so many puzzles.

I hope Serious Sam 4 comes out first, but even though I couldn't solve a chunk of the puzzles I really loved Talos.

Probably because they’re releasing or have released an iOS version. I’ve seen reference to it but I’m not sure when it came out.
