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 · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 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.

Very puzzly, sometimes easy, sometimes not. Much existential crisis. I really enjoyed this game and the ending(s) did not disappoint.
восхитительно
Как выжил кот в конце???

Forced into giving dumb answers to the computer. Puzzles were fun though
[h1][b]Simplemente dificil[/b][/h1] De principios, es muy muy dificil. [h2]Jugabilidad: [b]4.5/10[/b][/h2] Los puzzles son algo entretenidos, en especial cuando les entiendes y cuando te los pases te hace sentir demasiado inteligente, pero siempre te quedas con ese miedo de no poder pasar el siguiente puzzle por lo extremadamente dificiles que son. Las mecanicas son buenas aprovechan todo su potencial. Eso si, hay un punto en el que si o si tendras que dejar de jugarlo un rato porque el dolor de cabeza va a ser insoportable. [h2]Historia: [b]8.5/10[/b][/h2] BASTANTE, BASTANTE, BASTANTE buena, pero la forma en que te lo cuentan es muy mala, puro puro texto, cuando pudieron haber puesto cinematicas o eventos en tiempo real dentro del juego. Eso, el final verdadero del juego es buenisimo, me atreveria a decir que es uno de los mejores [h2]Graficos: [b]8.5/10[/b][/h2] Bastante buenos para ser del 2014 y no han envejecido tan mal. Ademas la ambientación es hermosa, muy bien lograda. [h2]Sonido: [b]9.5/10[/b][/h2] MUY MUY MUY buena música y actuación de voz. Simplemente no tengo palabras para describirlo, pero es hermoso, es uno de los mejores ost que he escuchado, y tambien una de las mejores actuaciones de voz por parte de Elohim [h2]Originalidad: [b]9.5/10[/b][/h2] DEMASIADO original. Innova demasiado en las mecanicas de los puzzles y la historia. [h2][b]PROS:[/b][/h2][list] [*]Puzzles entretenidos que te hacen sentir inteligente cuando te los pasas [*]Buena historia [*]Graficos [*]Sonido [*]Originalidad[/list] [h2][b]CONTRAS:[/b][/h2][list] [*]Muy dificil [*]Historia mal contada[/list] [hr][/hr] [h2][b]En conclusión:[/b][/h2] Me mintieron, esto no es Portal 3. Lo recomiendo pero solo si de verdad te gustan los puzzles y descubrir la historia por tu cuenta. sino es asi realmente no te lo recomendaria, pero siempres puedes probar algo nuevo, y The Talos Principle es un muy buen comienzo (aunque no tanto como porta, te recomendaria aun más portall). [h1][b]8.1/10[/b][/h1]
The puzzles were cool but the game does feel extremely dead. Like dauntingly so. I understand it fits the setting, but solving puzzles for 2 hours in complete dead silence while your only interaction with anything is pc terminals with walls of text dumping cryptic exposition on you ... ugh But the puzzles are fun and there aren't THAT many great 3D puzzlers. So if you like puzzling, you will want to check this out. Just maybe take irl steps to deal with the deafening silence this game throws you in.
Game itself is good, but WARNING: An update broke it for Steam Deck. I had to use a compatibility tool otherwise I would lose the 8h I had invested in it. It's a game I paid for and own, but wouldn't be able to play otherwise because it asks for some login credential I don't have. Devs don't care, just look at the discussions, there is no word from them. This is a big red flag. SOLUTION FOR STEAM DECK: Go to "Properties" from the game launching page, then select "Compatibility", toggle the "Force the use..." choice, and select the "Proton Hotfix" from the drop down menu.
Muy buenos puzzles, no se vuelve repetitivo. Destaco recompensa por la exploración del entorno
Definitely deserves to be in the list of must-play puzzle games. There is a story, and it seems relatively deep, but I'm not a story guy so I can't say if it's good or not (you can skip a lot of it). The puzzles are very well designed, have good difficulty progression, and have lots of softlock safeguards even when it seems you couldn't possibly get stuck. I really recommend it.
