The various worlds you’ll be solving puzzles in are certainly something of a contrast to the mechanics that reside in them. The Talos Principle certainly has a nice aesthetic to it, even if the environments are somewhat barren of detail upon closer inspection. Will you be his diligent servant and attain eternal life?

Even with my 1 per week review schedule there are still some games that manage to slip by.
