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.

type of game that really makes you go 🤔
I only discovered there's a remaster halfway through and decided not to bother. The original still looks quite decent for being 12 years old and it's not a game that really needs graphical fidelity. The Talos Principle tells a very interesting story through written text and voice-overs only. It is quite complex in terms of conversation options and really tries to make you think about its philosophical questions while also slowly piecing together a beautiful overarching story about the end of the world. All of it feels like a nice little breather in between the puzzles and I found it to be just the right amount of story to keep the game engaging. The puzzles themselves are overall decent. I managed to do them all (some stars excluded) without using the in-game assistance or the internet, meaning they're not overly hard, but one or two took me quite a while to figure out. Most of them are rewarding, some are a bit tedious and I have to admit that by the end I was mostly just pushing through to finish the story. There's around five mechanics and dozens of puzzles using them, making some of them a little repetitive. Still, this is probably my favorite narrative puzzle game ever. Sorry Portal!

Приятная неспешная игра. Лор тут интересный, но подается исключительно в записях дневников и письмах. Игра подойдет тем кто любит неспешное вдумчивое погружение и скрытую философию.
Enjoyable puzzles and some very interesting philosophical and historical discussions. I'd recommend picking this up if it's on sale
très prenant des énigmes de la recherche
это реально круто.

10/10
Es un juego que quiebra los estereotipos que tienen las generaciones mayores de que este medio es invariablemente infantil. Es una obra de arte. Los rompecabezas son lo suficientemente desafiantes como para premiar sin frustrar. Ir recomponiendo la trama mediante los fragmentos de texto y audio que están dispersos a través de los niveles es muy grato.
un juego muy bueno, que pone a prueba tu cerebro
