Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,420 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Reviews
This is a super fun puzzle game sprinkled with interesting philosophical questions and partial works of classic literature. Originally I thought it was too short, but 30 hours of solving puzzles ended up being just about right for me. The overarching story is thought provoking and ties everything together nicely. Well worth the buy.
This game is pretty much a mixture Jean-Paul Sartre and Socrates philosophy. If you aren't having an existential crisis then you are going to be questioned to death until you do.

[h2] 28.12.25 [/h2] [h1] [b] Игра пройдена мной на 100% [/b] [/h1] И это мой обзор на сие творение от Croteam. [hr][/hr] [b]The Talos Principle[/b] — уникальная в своём жанре игра, которая искусно сочетает решение сложных головоломок с глубокими философскими вопросами. Дизайнеры из Croteam создали мир, наполненный невероятно красивыми локациями, которые идеально передают особую, завораживающую атмосферу. Большинство головоломок не имеют "неправильного" пути решения, что даёт вам частичную свободу для экспериментов. Правда, при поиске некоторых звёзд разработчики, возможно, перестарались со сложностью. Отдельно хочется похвалить звуковое сопровождение: звуки отлично погружают в мир, а саунддтрек мастерски усиливает общее впечатление. Явного, навязчивого сюжета здесь нет — ему на смену приходит детально проработанный лор. Его изучение происходит через чтение терминалов и прослушивание аудиодневников. Хотя такой способ кому-то может показаться скучным, в The Talos Principle это становится одной из самых увлекательных составляющих игры, заставляя задуматься и вглядываться в детали. [hr][/hr] [b]The talos principle[/b] — стоит вашего внимания и станет отличным выбором для любителей прохождения на 100%.

Brain freeze Llama juice. An achievement in video game design with a sprinkle of lifetime wisdom.
I thoroughly enjoyed this game—it stands out as a masterpiece that fully satisfied me. The difficulty is well-balanced across every section, despite when collecting stars and tackling World 1 in the DLC. Overall, this is my top recommended game and is undoubtedly better than Assassin's Creed: Unity. By comparison, ACU feels thoroughly disappointing and seems rushed by its douche bag publisher.
