The Talos Principle

This game is a great port of a PC classic, and for that it’s great, but this game is in dire need of an update to support new devices. The first problem is that it doesn't support running in full screen on new iPads, it also doesn’t support keyboard and mouse input on these devices. Additionally, it doesn’t seem like the graphics have been updated to take advantage of the power of newer devices. Finally, it would be nice to have iCloud sync Other than the fact that this port needs updating it’s pretty great and well worth the low asking price

UI controls are off the screen so menus etc cannot be accessed. I’ve requested a refund.

One of the best puzzle games I have ever played. It starts somewhat slow, but the puzzles become increasingly more difficult and satisfying to solve as you progress through the game. There are dozens of secrets and Easter eggs in it, while the philosophical questions the game raises are really interesting and thought-provoking.

I loved this game on the PC, and was pleased to be able to play it on the ipad... unfortunately it is very difficult to control. I play ’inverted’ or flightsim style controls (I grew up in that era of PC gaming). This game offers inverted look, but it inverts BOTH horizontal and vertical. The correct way to do flightsim style controls is to only invert vertical movement. It’s frustrating that in this game I have to choose between horizontal movement that feels natural but vertical movement I can’t get used to, or vice versa. Please add an option to invert only vertical look

I’ve enjoyed working my way through this, but I’m stranded between two two blue- screened entrances. Doesn’t seem to be a way of resetting on a touch- screen iPad. Help! A reset option would have helped, but .... three months later I’ve finished it ( on my I pad) and thought, after the nerve-jangling finale, that it was one of the best games I’ve ever played. To get the most out of this engage in the philosophical dialogue, though I guess you don’t need to. It’s a long process, and you might find it repetitive at times, but I found it addictive and thought it well deserved the plaudits it received.

Absolutely love this game, tests you on so many levels. If you like puzzle/logic games, this is right up there with the best. You learn as you go, keep your mind open to creative solutions to various puzzles, some are rather tricky! Game play time is excellent so great value as well.

This game says it is a “puzzle”, however there is too much running and dodging to be a relaxing puzzle. Too much time is spent being shot and going back to the start. The graphics are beautiful tho’.

Grandiose

It’s okay

I’m a fan of The Room series and Da Vinci and although this is very different it has got me hooked. Most similar in format to Witness but it’s so difficult to compare as it’s unique. Would have to guess I’m about 1/3rd in but honestly can’t tell. That’s a good thing! Starts gently then the challenges, puzzles and discoveries start to ramp up. There’s a really intriguing narrative running through the game so you don’t feel you’re just wandering around aimlessly. It’s well worth the money Best comment I can write is that it makes you want to give it one more go (again)!!
