![]() The Talos Priniciple is never explicit about what’s happening, and it does a wonderful job of implying events occurred. Furthermore, the occasional fuzziness or glitching in the walls reminds me that this world is artificial, like this character. Had I chosen to play in third-person – the game defaults to first-person, and there’s no real need to change it – I would have seen the mechanical body of the main character. I realize my fingers are not flesh and bone. I reach a terminal and select a command to type. It’s all very biblical.īut the main point of The Talos Principle is the question: “What makes someone human?” Elohim encourages me to solve puzzles but beware of a tower that will only bring temptation. The archives hint at a catastrophic event that dooms humanity. That’s not fully answered until the end, but glimpses of the narrative occur through archives of emails and blog posts as well as audio recordings of a researcher. Why am I solving these puzzles? I asked myself. In these puzzles, I had to use jammers to open barriers and stop turrets, connectors to link beams to unlock doors, fans to push things into the air, and more. ![]() Elohim urged me to collect sigils, Tetris-like shapes, by completing increasingly difficult puzzles. Playing as an AI unit in a digital world that masqueraded as a Garden of Eden, I was never really certain of what I could trust. Whether it was a puzzle set up by the ambiguously benevolent god Elohim or debates with the Milton Library Assistant on the terminals, I circled around, changing my mind frequently - other times being steadfast in my decision based on a gut feeling. I’ve known for a while that I don’t process information in a step-by-step manner, being able to think ahead and predict what will come next. The Talos Principle is a game where your mind will do circles. So when I stood at a computer terminal in the philosophical puzzler The Talos Principle debating personhood, I had a similar feeling of conversations going around in circles.
