I strongly advise playing this game with a compatible game controller. There are many areas in the game that require twitchy fingers and I don’t think I would have gotten through them without a controller. -- Kencathedrus, 2024-06-09 ### ***-- "A bit repetitive" I played this for a bit but honestly would rather play House of da Vinci over again or Room, or Machinarium -- Sueinmon, 2024-06-09 ### **--- "Touch interface issues" I’ve tried to play through this game a number of times over the years and always reach a point of frustration with the controls and the implementation, leading me to abandon the game again. In short, the touch controls make a handful of levels almost impossible. On top of that, the implementation of the save function takes the player back to the beginning of a level, erasing any progress, and forcing one to re-do everything in that level over and over. Very, very, very tedious. For these levels, this is no longer a puzzle game, but an exercise in frustration. -- teamn2, 2024-05-20 ### ***** "This game is awesome" I keep checking every few months hoping to see a 2nd one is coming soon… Maybe? 🤞 -- KhaleesiGFY, 2023-10-28 ### ***** "Talos" Indeed at first I was worried about it now can’t get enough of talos and I understood it now I enjoy it more and more this game is not for everyone -- chuck of meats, 2023-03-16 ### *---- "So bored." Sorry I paid money for this. Just carrying around a camera thing for the first hour walking around a maze and gave up. Ok, it has nice graphics. But this is not a puzzle game, it’s just a walk around game. No patience to wait it out to see if ANYTHING happens. -- AKpianoplayer, 2023-02-12 ### ***** "So good! Extra campaigns please!" Hello, how can we buy all the extra campaigns thanks! Road to Gehenna!!!! I’ve NEVER had a problem with the controls! I find them to work awesome fast and smooth. Just have to get a little used to it or turn up the sensitivity. I guess it is finicky sometimes to find certain points you need to connect to with the beams but other than that no probs -- chroko29, 2022-10-29 ### ***** "Why Fame Swaz Loves This Game" I love this wonderful idea of a game. I feel like its a problem solving simulation like experience.... Thanks for this wonderful Ride YOOO* -- Fame swaz, 2022-10-13 ### **--- "Disappointed" Sorry y’all - I see the great reviews, and that’s why I downloaded it. I had done a Google search (yeah, first mistake) for “iOS games like The Room,” and this one came up (amongst all the ones I’ve already played). I was SUPER BORED by this game. No, I didn’t finish it, because I got fed up waiting for it to become…better. Now I’m mad that I actually spent dough on it. If you’re looking for “iOS games like The Room,” this is NOT it. But maybe you’ll have a different opinion. I can only give you mine. Blessings! -- boo moss, 2022-09-02 ### ***** "One of the best games out there. Beautiful and challenging." One of the best games out there. Beautiful and challenging. -- MikeTokyo, 2022-07-24 ### ***** "Another classic by Devolver" 7Buy it already -- Colin Depew, 2022-06-21 ### ***** "One of the best stories in Sci-Fi with fun puzzles to boot" (Please do yourself a favor and get this game on console or pc instead of ruining the experience with touch controls. This game deserves it.) Story This game makes you question your existence by asking profound philosophical questions about the nature of consciousness and what it means to be human. Gameplay Very fun and well thought out puzzles with a beautiful world modeled after ancient Greece. -- bossmodegoat, 2022-03-25 ### ***** "I Initially Thought the Egyptian Arcade was Functionally Impossible to Complete" Very difficult, but doable and enjoyable! Did ok in getting to level B-6. Some very challenging puzzles, but after working through the complexities, managed to solve each one to this point. Great graphics and a few real head scratchers. But then came to Egyptian Arcade in level B-6. The first part of the puzzle is manageable with some thought and deft maneuvering. After trying it multiple times, I concluded the second part was impossible. There is only a second or two in which to move a small distance with a jammer, then turn and jam a mine that is coming at you. And then you have to stop jamming the mine, shift the jammer to a portal, grab the other jammer, bring it inside the enclosure, then release both jammers to close the portal before the mine can get through. This must be done when the jammed mine is only feet from you. Needs another jammer, or more run distance on the first mine outside the portal… And then I figured out how to beat it and found out it wasn’t functionally impossible after all. Just very difficult. But managed to get through the whole game eventually (with a little help from an online walk-through.) Over all I recommend the game. But be prepared for doing some of the levels time after time after time until you finally see a way to make all of the pieces come together. It would be better if you were able to reconstitute at the last safe place you were before blowing up. The way it is you can get nearly to the end of a scenario, blow up, and go right back to the beginning to do it all over again, even the parts you successfully navigated the first time around. Tedious. -- WaterBear55, 2022-03-15 ### ****- "Support" Pls add full screen support of iPad Pro 12 inch -- aero addictive, 2022-03-13 ### ***** "For WaterBear55, if you ever read this" Brief review: I love this game, and the core gameplay - getting all intended gameplay levels, sigils, stars and endings - works well (not perfect) on tough. Not quite as smooth as mouse-and-keyboard on PC, but I have played a 100% game multiple times on iOS and it is very very doable. My only complaints are that there are a few graphical things that don’t display right on iOS (like the mirror or the fans on fan-supported platforms), Road to Gehenna isn’t available, and iOS controls DO make it almost impossible to reach some of the game’s many Easter eggs that involve precise platforming. SPOILERS AHEAD For WaterBear55: Egyptian Arcade isn’t impossible - your setup is busted. SPOILERS: two gates (let’s call the one closer to the key inner and the other outer) and two corresponding mines. 1: release inner mine and use jammer(s) to get them floating as close as possible to each other. 2: while mines are floating towards inner gate, place a jammer jamming outer gate on BOTH sides of the gate. Mine distance gives you plenty of time. You now have a jammer in between gates. 3: grab outer jammer. Gate will stay open from the inner jammer. Wait for mines to be as far away from key as possible, then jam the inner mine. It will hold both mines away from the outer gate with room to move past. 4: switch inner jammer to inner gate, grab keys, and reverse all moves to leave mines locked inside outer gate and you can proceed through the key doorway. No part of this involves having to rapidly do a bunch of difficult touch-control moves impossibly fast. You convinced yourself your setup was the only way. Good luck! -- KJaGy, 2022-02-21 ### **--- "Meh...." The graphics are great but this is the same challenge over and over, just more difficult. Go into a rehlm, grab a device to open gates and freeze the guards, grab the item and head back. Then do it for the next rehlm. Lather, rinse, repeat. There are no puzzles to solve like other escape room style games which is what I was looking for. It was a waste of $5 for me. -- Mvbenz, 2022-02-16 ### ***-- "Needs Vital Update" Great game, runs surprisingly well and is fun, but it has major problem on iPhone 12 generation and up. The menu icon is cut off due to the phone’s display ratio which hurts the ability to play -- Chulainn92, 2022-01-13 ### ***** "Best Game Fantastic Graphics" This game is not easy, but is the best game that I have played. I was sad it had to end. Hoping there is a sequel. -- Mrdrut, 2022-01-05 ### ****- "Remnant of a better age" If I'm not mistaken, this was released around when mobile games went kinda down hill. And it's one of the best games on my phone. Kinda has some weird freaky deaky storyline about god and the nature of man or something, but it clearly had a lot of time and effort out into it, which isn't something you see a whole lot of these days. -- that wierd pigen, 2021-12-28 ### *---- "DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE AN IPHONE MINI" This game does not account for the screen size of the iPhone 12 mini or 13 mini. The menu and other controls on the left-hand side are cut off and non-interactive. As far as I can tell, there is no setting to correct this. I know this game came out before these phones, but it’s also been over a year since these phones came out, at the time I’m writing this. Very frustrating that they care enough about this game to run a $0.99 sale but not enough to make sure it runs properly on current devices. -- Tanner Hendrickson, 2021-12-26 [View all The Talos Principle reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## The Talos Principle Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Poland | Games | #197 | | Top Paid | Australia | Games | #261 | | Top Paid | South Africa | Games | #306 | | Top Paid | Algeria | Games | #311 | | Top Paid | Dominican Republic | Games | #382 | | Top Paid | Ukraine | Games | #428 | | Top Paid | Peru | Games | #436 | | Top Paid | Chile | Games | #477 | | Top Paid | Israel | Games | #482 | | Top Paid | Hungary | Games | #485 | | Top Paid | Argentina | Games | #485 | | Top Paid | Nigeria | Games | #489 | ## The Talos Principle Available In -
