You are 100% spot on on that feeling, when you want your friends to play this beautiful game, but they see it as just a boring puzzle game. And you even cant describe the best parts without spoiling it. One of the best and most atmospheric games i have ever played.

[@mabepedu]

It's a really nice game, I bought it two years ago because it was on sale and never played it, but one day I was so bored I booted up the game and I'm so glad I did it, because it was the only thing I played that week, and I enjoyed every minute of it, I still have to play through the dlc, but I encourage everyone to buy it, it's on sale right now and the price is basically a steal for what you are getting out of this game!

[@jurefranceskin3176]

Play through the dlc. It's just as good as the main game, if not better.

[@monkeywithocd]

The DLC isn't as good as the main game, but it's still good. I mainly just missed the level of existential quandaries present in the main game, as the DLC leans a bit heavier on humor and just existing in the world instead of thinking about it. Honestly I'm worried about how I've heard talk that they're going to make a sequel, as I can't really see them capturing that same level of thought provocation again. I would love to be proven wrong, though. Edit: Oh, and the stars are *required* for the good ending which is BS. Not all of them, but I think you need all but two IIRC. Had to cheat for a number of them, which is something I hated doing in The Talos Principle.

[@noTH9IK]

DLC is quite difficult. Didn't manage through, while completed the entire game pretty easily

[@nixel1324]

The Talos Principle is the kind of masterpiece that you can't stop thinking about when you've just finished it, then you forget about it completely, and then when you're reminded of its existence you suddenly get the incredible urge to boot up again. I've completed the game and the DLC, I remember being obsessed by them, but now I barely remember any of it. Which is good, because that gives me an excuse to replay it. This is different from Portal 2 and Deus Ex, which although I played them longer ago, I still remember the vague bigger picture of. Because of this, I don't think I would enjoy replaying them as much, even though I played them for days on end, hours at a time. I love this game so much.

[@laguna209]

The Talos Principle was my nightmare for years. It was one of the games that got me into philosophy, to understand humanity better. It was where my life changed and i saw everything with a different light, how beautiful is the world and the things we have are wonderful. Truly, listening to Alexandra's tapes, reading the memories of the humans that appear to be gone for years and years is just heartbreaking but at the same time so fucking beautiful. It really gives you hope in what the darkness took away in the first place. Never stopped playing and finished the game in 2 days in the summer of 2016, truly changed my life, i still highly suggest it to everyone to experience it, because honestly there's, atleast not for me, anything like it.

[@DJprDPr0]

10:32 "I'm not the only person who was left profoundly moved by it" I think the loneliness aspect of the game is exactly why it's so beautiful, you mindlessly listen to God while doing your puzzles and getting hints of communication around you (QR codes). You start seeking social interaction because of the scarcity of the interaction. You slowly begin searching for knowledge, meaning, history about all of it and in turn, you start asking questions. I played it years ago, it made me feel like I was inside the game, living the story. I never thought twice whenever I read hours of writing on a computer terminal, or having conversations with it. Every single interaction was perfect. Nothing felt like a game. To whomever reads this and hasn't tried it, I know it sounds absurd. But I really can't stop suggesting you try it, it really is something special.

[@GermanPeter]

Talos Principle is one of those games that I was so invested in that I finished them on one morning in my pyjamas. I just wanted to do one more level before breakfast, but then I finished ALL of it, that's how much fun it was. Actually, was it really "fun"? I mean, the puzzles definitely were, but the story is just soulcrushing and genuinely made me feel bad at times. It was definitely a game that hooked me from day 1. The beautiful environments, the wonderful music, the atmosphere... it makes me nostalgic for a place I never visited. I'd love to live in that world. It's so gorgeous. What a fantastic game, absolutely brilliant.

[@MH-mi4xg]

This sleeper of a game became my favorite of all time as well. I trust you decoded all the hexadecimal text all over the terminals and game world. That made the story and lore of it just so fucking incredible.

[@platcrab4890]

I tried convincing literally all of my friends to play this game. No one has done it. It's the best game I've ever played, it touched me, made me think, and I had found it one night while aimlessly searching steam. Never thought to consider the aspect of loneliness as a part of the game. It really is just something that keeps on giving, and I wish everyone would just play this fucking game.

@@2kliksphilip That sounds about right, which is why I gave up mostly, but not entirely. I get why you can only keep poking at people so much, but they just don't understand what they are missing. I had a friend who was bored enough to drop some money on the game, after literally two years of telling them to get it. He messed me after only a few hours in the game with "Talos is fucking aggravating and addicting I love it". I have another friend who I managed to scam a promise of him to try it, and I can't wait for his reaction. I feel like a god damn missionary for this game, but it's really not just a game, it's an introspective and beautiful experience. The game speaks for itself, but you spoke for it anyways, and I appreciate that a lot. Keep up the great work brother

If this was up your alley you probably know about it already, but do give Outer Wilds a try! Similar recommendation though: don't read much on it beforehand. (Not to be confused with The Outer Worlds, another space game released the same year)

[@iowa9113]

Man, I love this game so much! I am so happy you decided to make a video on it! I truly belive it's quite underplayed for the quality it has.

[@Paraselene_Tao]

I played this game to completion, but it's not so much a game, and it's more like a never-ending philosophical journey. It's a philosophical journey through a landscape of the most important philosophical questions in human history. The landscape includes key snippets of books, commentary from other past AI's, snippets of art and poetry, conversations with an archetypal nihilistic doubter, and a relationship with god-the logos in disguise-which leads to rebellion against all known order. This isn't a game. This is a living, breathing piece of art, and it's possibly the most important piece of meta-fiction ever created. The Talos Principle is totally & utterly Sublime.

[@22admi22]

Could not agree more. Probably the best game experience I ever had. The puzzles themselves are mostly fun and beating them is oddly rewarding. About the story aspect I absolutely share your feelings. Completing the story and getting an answer to all the unsolved questions is what really motivated me finishing the game. Your video reminded me how awesome this game is and how much I enjoyed it. Guess it's time to play through it again :)

Hey Philip. Bought and played this game 3 years ago. This game is maybe my favorite puzzle game of all time. It has smart riddles, lots of extra stuff to do (all in the right amount for gameplay) and also exceptional sound and graphics. But where it really shines is in the philosophical aspect. It really can change one's viewpoint in life and also loved all the Rock music references (only some Pink Floyd comes to mind). Thanks forthe video!

[@shivang_upadhyay]

"In the beginning were the words..... " Loved this game, more challenging than Portal 2 but yet didn't feel like a copycat somehow. Might give a slight edge to Portal 2 overall (especially due to GladOS, Wheatley, Cave Johnson, Half-Life tie-in etc.) But man is this game underrated.

I got myself this game for Christmas 2015 and was utterly in love with it, but disheartened by the fact that literally no-one I'd talked to even knew The Talos Principle existed. The review I ended up writing for this game was basically a love letter to Croteam, and I still think the game holds up just the same today. Thank you for covering it! For anyone who's wondering whether they should buy the DLC or not, I wholeheartedly recommend it. The puzzles become more creative and challenging, and the narrative, I think, is even more ingenious than that of the base game.

You made my buy this game not knowing anything about it. I started off playing and my love grew more and more for the game, and just as you explained could not stop thinking about it.

I looked up the average time to beat the game and it was about 16 hours but I wanted to see everything the game had to offer so after completed the game it now lies on 27 hours.

I had this game installed for like years, but only continued and finished it this autumn.

First, when I played in 2015, i didnt bother them, but when I continued I started seeking for them to get more and more of this amazing philosophical input and the background information of the world youre playing in. It was one of the most pleasing, satisfying games Ive ever played, including the brilliant Gehenna DLC.

[@dan_]

I never got around to checking, but I'm pretty confident that I solved one of the later puzzles in this game in a way that the developers never intended. I was stuck on the level for hours, and the solution I found seemed like it had to be so precisely set up that it can't have been the way you were supposed to do it. It's one of the best games I've played in the last few years though, certainly. Great to see it get a shout out from Philip and hopefully more people who weren't aware of it get to play!

[@BRUXXUS]

I got that feeling of "I have no idea if this is the intended solution" a lot during the last third of the game. Which, I actually think is pretty high praise for the design of some of the puzzles.

[@The518thGuy]

I've been playing this game shortly after watching Avatar: The Last Airbender for the first time (about 1 or 1.5 years ago), and damn, I loved them both (and I still do). They really do have something in common. It might be lots of philosophy for such art forms or the peacefulness of sceneries or something else... or probably all those things... And that thing they have in common makes me love both the game and the show

[@slavbot6938]

Finally! someone reviewing this game again. I dare to say that this is better Puzzle game than both portals!

[@bjbboy71697]

I agree. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love the Portals, but this game is just that little bit better. The way they encourage to "break the game" to get some of those stars is incredibly crafted and rewarding. Portal is missing this extra thing to satisfy your desire to take the game mechanics to the extreme to exploit the level design as much as possible.

[@dan_]

I love The Talos Principle, and while some of the puzzles do rival, if not exceed the quality of the best bits of either Portal, I remember getting a bit cheesed off from time to time with TTP, in a way I never did with Portal. The story of TTP is what makes it arguably better than Portal overall though. I haven't played Portal for so long now, but I seem to remember them being really short. TTP gives you much more content as well I feel.

I found myself spending hours digging through the various levels to discover all secrets, collected all logs I could find, and even translated the hex strings to ascii with the help of an OCR tool. I knew I could probably find all that information somewhere online but I was so engrossed in the game that I didn't want to pull away from it until the very end - managed to log nearly 40 hours in the span of 3 days.

[@kane-111]

Yeah seriously (pun intended), don't go hard on yourself, dumb people usually pretend as if they are smart lol.

[@igotlotiononit]

I wasn't very serious (no pun intended) on me being dumb but I still appreciate the positivity.

[@shakedbm3829]

I played this game year ago and never found anyone else who liked it. So happy that you found it and enjoyed it. Looking forward to your spoiler discussion video.

I still haven’t finished the talos principle, but I did watch the truman show. That was a great recommendation

[@mauritz3912]

Philip! you are describing MY experience with the the game to an incredible accuracy. Can't wait for the spoiler video! So glad you shed some light on this gem!

PSA: The Talos Principle will be FREE on the Epic Games Store December 29th at 11am EST. Do what you want with that information.

[@4AneR]

The best things in this game are its views on borders of locations with the gorgeous OST. There're no super resolution textures, but yet it brings so cozy feelings. I love the forests, I love the snows, I love the deserts, I fucking love the Tower (I've never seen such a big thing in video games before)

[@Slotered]

I wish I could experience this game for the first time again. It was that good.

[@automaticocelot452]

I'm so glad I watched you video before starting my journey through TTP. If I played without watching it, I probably would have skipped the terminal archives reading and most of Milton's dialogues as well. But thanks to the heads up, I paid full attention to each and every text and dialogues which definitely enhanced my feeling after reaching the end.

Hey everyone, *The* *Talos* *Principle* is free on EPIC Games Store "today" only. Note: "Today" means December 29th 2019, from 11AM to December 30th 2019 10:59AM).

[@Wuselol]

I bought and played the game during the xmas sale 4 years ago and it's been on my mind ever since. It's the most beautiful game I've ever played and also probably my most favorite one. It's really difficult to talk about it without running the risk of ruining the experience to some degree, like you said. But one thing that I will say, that's quite ambiguous and might also be pulled straight out of my a** is that more than in any other game that I can think of, in the Talos Principle, you are an integral piece of the puzzle (no pun intended). I've been gushing over this game for almost half a decade and I'm glad that you made this video. If there's a game that deserves the title "masterpiece", it's this one.

@@2kliksphilip You created an excellent video about an amazing game, but have not posted the second part which you said you would do relatively shortly, or at least that was the impression, after the festive period. PS: Hope you had a good Christmas.

@@2kliksphilip Will you notify us in some way, make a video or tweet or something, once the video is up?

Play the DLC in the meantime

[@piers389]

@@Maho. Already done so, but good suggestion for those who haven't.

[@YotaNinja]

I cannot wait for the second video. I'm dying to see how you felt about the game, and if it relates or contrasts how I felt. I was so incredibly moved and emotionally involved in this game.

[@travosk8668]

I can see the Kliksphilip video about 'how you didn't get a video out on time and how much people are loyal to your channel" coming like a Japanese train.

[@Ikori1]

that's a slow ass japanese train

A video from one of my favourite youtubers on one of my favourite games, yay!

[@DrdrGames]

You’re 5 years late but jokes on me because I’m still here. Talos is one of my favorite games ever.

[@refat17]

Thanks for sharing. This is one of my favourite games too. I love how they merged openness with puzzle rooms, and AI was already one of my interests so the terminals were great.
