![]() ![]() But that’s the price of saving money by buying a mobile port rather than the proper version on console or PC. Turning on the spot is either too slow or dizzying (or both at once), and the virtual gamepad can be awkward to use. The second meaning of the review title is that this game feels out of place on a smart device, especially the controls. And yes, I had to look up the solutions online to find all the stars. There are a load of easter eggs which are often hard to find, including (spoiler alert!) the little cat on the loading screen. I sought out all the computer terminals and time capsules so I could enjoy the whole story, which gets you thinking about deep questions almost as much as the puzzles rack your brains as you figure out how to solve them. The first is that there is so much gameplay here that playing The Talos Principle on a smart device for a middling cost really doesn’t do it justice. The title of this review has two meanings. This is the best puzzler I’ve ever played (or equal best with portal), even better than the room series (as amazing as they are). This game has tons available for completionists as well, the secret/hidden things don’t feel like a cop out that only geniuses can solve, the game always leaves a decent hint around if you’re paying attention (except for that ‘clock’ one in world ?A3?, the clue probably needs a bit of fine tuning devs). The attention to detail on level design means the whole play through feels really organic (objects and clues to the solution aren’t just given up because they feel out of place). This game has beautiful locations, amazing music, and a really well thought out story (which is so awesome I want to spoil it here but won’t!). Hours and hours of play (don’t worry about overcommitting though, it is broken up into 5-15minute puzzles, perfect for a phone game), you never get bored as they combine multiple game mechanics in a ton of different ways. Well worth the purchase price (under $10AUD when I bought it). But remember: choices have consequences and somebody's always watching you.Choose your own path through the game's non-linear world, solving puzzles your way.Uncover clues, devise theories, and make up your own mind Explore a story about humanity, technology, and civilization.Divert drones, manipulate laser beams and even replicate time to prove your worth - or to find a way out. ![]()
