The Talos Principle 9+

This was my favourite indie game on PC, and now playing it again on iOS has brought back fond memories. I’m truly impressed by how well it works on my iPhone and especially how nice it looks. Who’d have thought such impressive visuals could be achieved on a phone only a few years ago!!

I wish we had more fully fledged games like this to play on iOS (I hate freemium games) - the £4.99 asking price is just right to tempt many people to play this brilliant game.

It would be great if this was available on Apple TV because playing with an already supported mifi controller (highly recommend the Steel Series Nimbus) would be ideal on the big screen. I would also like to see iCloud saves if not already implemented please so I can swap between devices.

What a disappointing game! All the ‘puzzles’ are the same, using a piece to lock or unlock gates and killing machines. They are all easy except that but you have to dodge things and manipulate your position to ‘solve’ the puzzles. This is an action/adventure game where you spend more time dodging enemies than you do figuring out puzzles! Not a ‘puzzle’ game then! Also, the controls do not allow for fine control so you spend more time dead then you do solving puzzles. And, moving between worlds takes ages because you have to wait for the portal room to load then another wait when you move to a new world which, you guessed it, is the same as the last! How about the portal room is simplified so it loads quicker and how about some kind of map so you don’t waste so much time finding the actual puzzles, which aren’t even puzzles? They say explore the worlds, but there is nothing to see apart from the ‘puzzles’.
Misrepresented and I would like a refund!

Superb live action puzzle game, with a backstory that is intriguing and engaging. A previous reviewer said it's a shooter game but it's not that at all. You need to play for 10 minutes before you see what the game is. It's basically a series of puzzle areas where in each one you have to figure out how to get the "sigil". It's a huge game with loads of areas. Well worth the money. As some others have said there's an occasional glitch where the view suddenly points up, but that's a minor thing. A more fundamental problem is that a couple of puzzles require a fast sequence of movements that's very tricky with the iPad interface, e.g. "Egyptian Arcade". But overall this is a brilliant game with hours and hours of play.
