The Talos Principle Critic Reviews and Review Scores
IGN
Leif Johnson
8.3 / 10.0
Much like Portal, The Talos Principle makes you feel smart just by playing it, as the bulk of the puzzles hit that sweet spot between too easy and near-impossible.
Eurogamer
Stace Harman
9 / 10
The Talos Principle is a game of challenges and conundrums and philosophical wonderings, filled with logic puzzles and cerebral mysteries. Its chunky mechanical processes are underpinned by a compelling breadcrumb-trail narrative that tackles the intangible notion of humanity and consciousness. Consequently, despite playing a robot that interacts with computer terminals and takes instruction from a disembodied voice in the sky, it exudes personality and charm; its mechanical precision complementing its aesthetic qualities. For an experience bereft of human contact it boasts a very big heart indeed.

Chris Thursten
84 / 100
An adept and satisfying puzzle game with a narrative that requires a bit of player investment to yield its biggest rewards.

9 / 10.0
If you love brainteasers and philosophy, then The Talos Principle is better than a night at the movies
GameSpot
Jeremy Signor
9 / 10
Excellent puzzles are only the tip of the iceberg for The Talos Principle, an existential journey about what it is to be human.
