    To put it simply: The Talos Principle is an incredible title in a (sadly) neglected genre (the first person puzzle game).

    A deep, moving philosophical story wraps around more than a hundred puzzle spaces packed with engaging, challenging, but rarely frustrating puzzles--and all of it takes place in extremely beautiful settings greatly enhanced by one of the best game soundtracks ever. Many design and puzzle elements are reminiscent of Portal and Portal 2 (which I also love), but the visuals, settings, and mood are completely different, and the more challenging "star" puzzles require you to think outside of and connect the different puzzle rooms in ways I don't recall Portal ever doing, in part because Talos often takes place in much larger outdoor settings.

    I've played the entire game twice--the first time (in 2015), I needed to look up a few of the puzzles near the end of the equally great included DLC ("Road to Gehenna"); the second time (in 2017), I only needed to look up one especially tricky star puzzle (and while I've played many games, I'm not a super hardcore gamer). Unlike The Witness, another first person puzzle game for the PS4 to which it's often compared, I've never found Talos frustrating because the puzzles don't require bizarrely difficult audio cues, tedious staring at minute details of objects and lighting, or memorization of a specific set of puzzles rules without an outside logic. Additionally, solving puzzles in Talos involves moving and acting (not looking at a single at a time), so even when you're stumped, you feel like you're doing things and making progress. Talos also provides more significant rewards for solving puzzles so even if you struggle, you ultimately get a sense of achievement. (This is not to say The Witness is not a brilliantly designed and challenging game--just to explain why I find Talos much more enjoyable to play). And the included DLC, "Road to Gehenna," tells a perhaps even more impressive and moving story than the main game in an incredibly creative, indirect manner while taking the puzzles to an even greater (but still ultimately fair) level of challenge.

    I should also note that The Talos Principle is a rare game virtually free of tedium or unnecessary frustration. While it's not an action title, the character moves quickly and smoothly, and I never felt like any technical part of the game was letting it down in any way.

    There are (tragically) very few game experiences like this for those who appreciate them--if you suspect you're one of those people, don't miss out. It's possible no other game succeeds quite as fully as an intellectual challenge, artistic statement, and engaging play experience all in one.

    This is a great puzzler game. Unfortunately, as noted by other reviewers here and on other fora, the motion can be nauseating for a subset of players. I've been a casual gamer since the mid-80s and have never gotten sick from a game before; nor have I ever been prone to motion sickness (I've ridden choppy seas on ferries with everyone hurling around me, while managing to keep myself together). The first day I played this game, I started feeling like I wanted to vomit within 30 minutes. Not realizing it was the game, I continued playing for several hours, taking enough breaks to stem the nausea, until I eventually threw up. It wasn't until I played a second and third time and noticed the nausea return that I made the connection to the game. (Having ruled out food poisoning, I had previously concluded that the vomiting must have been caused by a brain tumor.)

    Something about the way the camera moves ... it's choppy and abrupt, and when you spin your character around, it's either too fast or too slow, depending on your settings ... it all culminates in a dizzying effect.

    Changing some settings seems to help. For example, I changed the camera POV to "over the shoulder" rather than "first person", and I also turned off the "View Bobbing" control. In addition, I avoid "running" too much in the game, and sometimes I even close my eyes while spinning the character around. That all seems to have prevented another vomiting episode, but I still get mildly queasy playing this game.

    And yet I keep playing, because as puzzlers go, this one is superb; right up there with standouts like Myst, Jewels of the Oracle, and 3 in Three. It doesn't spoon feed solutions to the player, which I appreciate, although a few more clues would probably be welcome. The ontological bantering with a computer character can be a little tiresome and didactic, but it's at least thought-provoking and never boring.

    Este el mejor videojuego de puzzle que he jugado en toda mi vida, esta a la par de Portal 2, si no es que mejor ya que te plantea situaciones filosóficas y cuestiona tus ideas. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.
