"I didn’t know anything about The Talos Principle until last week. I hadn’t even heard of it, and it was with only mild interest that I checked out the game’s Steam store page. Within a minute though, I noticed a magic word that immediately caught my attention. That word wasn’t “Puzzle”, “Indie”, or “Adventure. That word was “Croteam”. When I saw that the developer who gave us the Serious Sam series was boldly branching out into a different genre with a new idea, I was hooked instantly. Since that time, I put well over fifteen hours into this superb title, which is unlike anything that Croteam has ever done. The developer that gave us one of the best mindless first person shooters of all time has now given us one of the best puzzle games of all time. I could rave for hours about the game’s terrific puzzle design, its beautiful scenery, or its clever integration of philosophy into its story and design. The best service that I can do for you, however, is to simply tell you that The Talos Principle is my runaway choice for Game of the Year for 2014, and if you have any interest in puzzle or adventure games, you must play it."
The Talos Principle is free right now at Epic Games Store. It is free until December 29 at 10 AM. Once you claim it, it’s yours to keep.
Honestly everyone here should pick this up now, it's an absolutely AMAZING game, very well done, with some very well thought out puzzles. No shortage of content either, man... I might actually go replay this right now..
Not a big fan of the Epic Games Store but it's not "free" - there are no strings attached. A game is being made free on the store each day for 12 days. There's been some other standouts like Celeste, Superhot and Ape Out as well.
Can you only play them through the Epic store launcher? Can the launcher be deleted and you still have the games?
@Godmars290
And do you pay for the Epic store launcher? Still sounds a lot like free.
@Cikatriz_ESP:
Are you required to keep the Epic store on the same PC as the games in order to play them. If the answer is yes, then there's your ambiguous "free". If you can't see it, don't want to see it, enjoy your "free" games as Epic reminds you that they have a store they "want" you to use.
The EPIC store. A store so good that they need to buy timed exclusives and offer free games just to get you to look at it.
Hey. This is good on the consumer's end. Take advantage of the free games. Typically I do. I still never buy the timed exclusives until they hit other storefronts.
Either counter my statement or leave it be. Nothing I said is innately false, so dumb little comments like this serve no purpose.
Add something substantial to the conversation, or don't be part of it :)
WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "The Talos Principle is a masterpiece in puzzle design and strong sci-fi story telling. Now it's the Switch's turn to get hold of this stunning puzzle game."
The Talos Principle is a first-person puzzle game in the tradition of philosophical science fiction.
