Some of the ones where you interact with yourself - rather than being a less-practical box - are lots of fun. It might take a couple of runs to see all of those steps. You just need to work out all the steps that need to happen and whether it's your invisible mate from the future (or the past) that need to do each of those steps. The temporal puzzles aren't as intuitive as the physical ones. My little one moved onto The Talos Principle when he was three and did most of the puzzles himself - either solo, or recreating the solutions we'd worked out together. It's fine at first, but the puzzles get harder and time-till-fidget doesn't get any longer. If you really want to hurt your brain, try doing Qube within the attention span of a two-year-old. I just want to shoot through the puzzles, and honestly can do them all but with the recorder. I do the puzzles to get blocks and view the main game as the tower. Originally posted by Trrcn:Ahh ya "God" in the game tells me to do this too. The answer will come to you if you are patient. Sometimes you just have to take a break and let your mind rest. It is embarrassing to admit but I spent four 30 minute sessions solving a recording-based star puzzle in Road to Gehenna. If you look at a tutorial, follow it blindly, and move on, it is natural that the next puzzle will be harder because you haven't fully learned the basics. I think The Talos Principle is very good at teaching a puzzle mechanic. If you are struggling, I recommend going back to the earliest recording puzzle and solving it again. You only make it a race if you forget your path. I believe it gives you five minutes of recording. I only stop the recording when I imagine that I will have solved the puzzle in the time which has elapsed. While I stand, I imagine that I am running through the rest of the puzzle, performing tasks with my "right hand". I press record and stand on the button for the gate with my "left hand". So in a simple example, I know that a gate must be held open for a beam. First I think where I need to be and see in my mind how I must be in two places at once. I think of them as my two hands one hand is performing a task alongside the other, but I can only move one hand at a time, and only one hand is real. It is the most difficult mechanic in the game, in my opinion. When the game goes live, some of those messages will be from other players.The recording puzzles are very difficult. And messages posted in the form of QR codes by you and others like you remain on the walls for everyone to see - a reminder that, despite appearances, you are not alone. When you do, it immediately grabs your shocked attention.įind the game’s “Messengers” and you’ll start to get tips on completion. That’s a good thing, because you’ll rarely see anything or anyone else moving on screen besides the traps you must disarm. While it all remains relatively flat - a concession I suspect the puzzler’s heavy reliance on ground-based objects demanded - it offers variety. The terrain varies widely as you move through the different rooms and levels. Scanned, real-world items appear in the game, and it shows a patina of realism covers even the deliberately-fake landscapes. Talos graphics are about average for a current-gen PC/Mac game, which is to say they’re fairly lovely to look at. Because the game has so many areas to explore at the same time, you can always shift rooms or scenery and attack something else … you just don’t want to.īeautiful landscapes serve as your journey’s backdrop Most of them are manageable: just difficult enough to make you feel smart, but easy enough to keep you moving forward smoothly.īut if you’re feeling completist, it’s easy to get to the point where even Elohim is suggesting that it’s time to go try something else. It’s a testament to Croteam that these simple elements in combination are able to create puzzles that are sometimes brain-meltingly hard. You use them alone and in combination to open gates, disable lethal machinery, and get to Tetris-like puzzle pieces that, when properly combined, open the locked doors of your environment. The Talos Principle’s tools are straightforward: fans, crystals that refract light, jammers that affect electronics, pressure plates, heavy boxes, and the like. Simple mechanics you’ll use in a wide variety of ways
