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 22 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,513 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.

Juegazo para el que llego algo tarde pero mereció la pena...
The Talos Principle is a game about solving puzzles, philosophy, artificial intelligence, and consciousness. Puzzles are clever and fun throughout with new mechanics introduced gradually and there are many opportunities to find and complete bonus puzzles some of which are very difficult and will make you scratch your head a bit! Some of the only complaints are that the last of the three main puzzle areas contains puzzles that are either very difficult, or are especially long and tedious which may leave you frustrated as I was since you don't really have the option of leaving to solve easier puzzles by this point. The other is the recorder mechanic which is cool at first but very quickly becomes convoluted; However, don't let that deter you as the game is fantastic and holds up very well in every other area regardless. I'm very glad I got round to playing this game and wished I had only done it sooner, I've finished the DLC (which is also great and also has more story regarding other characters you see in the main game, as well as some more tough puzzles), and now I'm looking forward to playing the second game which by the looks of it seems like its going to very enjoyable, also a third game in the works!! If you love all things puzzles then this game is a must play! 10/10

A solid puzzle game with some nice story added to it.
Muy bueno el juego, musica reljaante, graficas maravillosas, te entretiene tanto, ni cuenta te das como pasa el tiempo, lo recomiendo totalmente
Brilliant puzzle game, thoroughly enjoyed it. If you enjoyed portal and similar puzzle games then you'll like this too. There were enough different puzzle elements to keep it interesting, without it being overwhelming. Each new element is introduced at a good pace before getting more complicated and combining several together. Will definitely be buying the second game.
yes
ts buns i only bought it for the profile background
Terminal bad Kitty good
One of the best puzzle games I’ve played. It gives the same feeling as the Portal games. The story is excellent, and as you play, you’re constantly driven to discover more. It’s truly a masterpiece.
