The catch, of course, is that each sigil is locked behind a puzzle of some description.

Elohim is in charge of the simulation, and after a few tutorial segments dressed up as вЂњcalibrationвЂќ he bids you enter his temple to find the sigils of his name and thus attain eternal life. If the Talos Principle were a lesser game itвЂ™d save the fact that you are an artificial entity and that the garden is a simulated construct for some shocking twist halfway through, but itвЂ™s admirably up-front about that from the get-go вЂ“ and anyway, starting from the beginning with that information poses far more interesting questions about what precisely youвЂ™re doing here.

You awaken in the middle of a pleasant garden full of crumbling Greek architecture, and are immediately greeted by the booming, bodiless voice of Elohim, who pronounces himself your creator and god.

So whatвЂ™s so great about the Talos Principle? ItвЂ™s a first-person puzzle game thatвЂ™s more in the vein of Portal than SpaceChem вЂ“ less open-ended, and arranged as a series of closed levels with relatively static solutions. This is why I call it exceptional, because quite aside from the quality of the game вЂ“ which is superb вЂ“ I literally could not put it down until IвЂ™d finished it. Hell, even the Witcher 3 required a few days of picking at it before I could fully get into it. Games usually donвЂ™t grab me like that any more. I bought it on Friday evening based largely on the strength of a recommendation in the comments here six or seven months ago (not to mention that 97% Positive rating on Steam), and now itвЂ™s Sunday afternoon and IвЂ™ve just completed it after mainlining it for eleven hours of my weekend. Infinifactory was great, a worthy successor to SpaceChem, and fully deserving of the glowing review it received a only couple of weeks back, but itвЂ™s already been eclipsed in my mind by the Talos Principle. Yes, I get a little bit twitchy throwing around adjectives like вЂњexceptionalвЂќ two reviews in a row, but the Talos Principle fully deserves it. In which Croteam answer the question of what theyвЂ™ve been doing since Serious Sam 3 kinda bombed with one of the most exceptional puzzlers IвЂ™ve ever played.
