Brilliant, beautiful, glorious brain-teaser
I bought this game, because I was craving a puzzle game like Portal. While this game doesn't have Portals and is very different mechanically, it offers similar and even more difficult challenges. This game is just a lot of fun for people who like puzzles, and the beautiful world, enchanting story make it all the more charming. I love this title.

Exercise for the Brain (and Mind)
I really enjoy the minimalist aspect to interacting with the game world. There is a fair amount of story hidden on terminals throughout the levels. And the puzzles require some thought and maybe help from a friend.

Amazing puzzle game with philosophical elements
I really enjoyed the world and atmosphere that this game created. The visuals are beautiful, the story and setting is interesting, and the puzzles take some real effort. Would recommend to anyone who's enjoyed puzzle games.

The Witness before the Witness was the Witness
The Talos Principal is a solid puzzle game. Not much else to say about it, really. Did you like Portal? Did you like The Witness? Did you like almost any other First Person puzzle game? I wont spoil anything about the Talos Principal, but only say if you enjoy some puzzles that will make you think, or even try a few ideas you know the creators didn't mean for as a solution, jump with glee when you ridiculous idea works, or fume when it doesn't, then this game will satisfy. I haven't beaten it yet, but I'm enjoying it a lot so far. The only reason for a 4 star rating as opposed to 5 is the fact that some areas can be a little big, but with no reason or need to explore. There are some hidden goodies, but they seem far and few between. Other than that, it was a good buy and I recommend the game to anyone that enjoys puzzle games.

Thoughtful, dazzling!
You may not have heard of this game, but it's an amazing, thoughtful experience. Unpredictable, and surprising. Great puzzles and narrative.
